Is Your Payroll Ready for Payday Super? (29/01/2026)

A successful transition begins with payroll capability and data quality. Here’s your practical roadmap.

System checks:
• Ensure your payroll system supports QE calculation and produces STP files with QE and super liability per pay.
• Validate clearing house integrations and settlement times to meet the 7 business day requirement.
• Review and confirm employee super data (USI/member numbers).

Cash‑flow considerations:
• Move from quarterly funding to pay‑cycle funding.
• Revise fund approval process and second‑person checks.

NB: To ensure cashflow is strong in July & you remain compliant with new SG law, all Apr-Jun Super needs to be paid before the first July Payday Super payment.  This will avoid July payments being applied to the outstanding Apr-Jun quarter liability.

Process & people:
• Update SOPs, cut‑offs and reconciliations.
• Train payroll and finance teams on new approval procedures and exception handling.
