Payday Super: Preparing for 1 July 2026 and protecting against unnecessary errors

The Federal Government’s Payday Super reforms, taking effect from 1 July 2026, will fundamentally change how superannuation is reported and paid in Australia. Employers will be required to move from quarterly super contributions to real-time, per-pay-cycle reporting and ensure payments reach employee super accounts within 7 business days of payday.

With increased scrutiny from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) and shared data across Services Australia, it is more important than ever for employers to avoid underpayments of superannuation contributions within the new deadlines. As a result, payroll systems and providers will be essential in helping employers adhere to the changes.

In this webinar, we’ll unpack the critical requirements of Payday Super and explore how employers can prepare, including the the following topics:

• Why Payday Super is necessary

• Understanding the new obligations

• Identifying compliance risks

• Leveraging technology to stay compliant

• Taking proactive steps now to future-proof and ensure a smooth transition ahead of the 1 July 2026 commencement.
