What Payday Super Could Mean For You
Cogger Gurry • May 13, 2025
The way superannuation is paid may be about to undergo a significant transformation. The Labor government’s proposed “payday super” reforms would require employers to pay superannuation contributions within seven calendar days of every payday.
Payday super is intended to apply from 1 July 2026, it’s important to understand what this could mean for you.
For employers, the shift to payday super involves changes to administrative processes. Key considerations include:
- From 1 July 2026, super contributions must reach your employees’ funds within seven calendar days of their payday, whether you pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
- The ATO’s Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will close from 1 July 2026. Employers who currently use it will need to transition to suitable payroll software.
- The superannuation guarantee charge (SGC) will be redesigned to include components such as notional earnings (interest on unpaid super), administrative uplifts, and choice loadings for non-compliance with fund choice rules. Importantly, both on-time and late super contributions would be tax-deductible, offering some financial relief to employers.

We think it will be well worth the wait!
Team Fundraiser for The Shaka Project Recently, our team came together for a fundraising morning tea in support of The Shaka Project , an organisation dedicated to promoting positive mental health, wellbeing and meaningful conversations within our communities.
