What is Payday Super?

Payday Super is a legislative change that requires employers to pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions at the same time they pay employees’ salary or wages.

The changes will commence on 1 July 2026.

Employers will need to:

  • Calculate super contributions each pay run

  • Pay super at the same time wages are paid

  • Move away from quarterly super payment cycles

This represents a cash-flow and process change, particularly for employers who currently pay super quarterly.
