New Changes to Super - Made Super Easy

Hi there,

 

The new Payday Super legislation will require employers to pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions at the same time as salary and wages from 1 July 2026. Contributions must reach an employee’s super fund within seven business days of payday.


The good news: if you’re using MYOB Pay Super with your payroll, you’re already set. Pay Super lets you make super payments directly from MYOB as often as you like (including each pay run), so you can meet the payday super timing without changing your current process. 


It’s included with your MYOB subscription and is compliant with ATO SuperStream requirements. 

What you need to do

Keep processing your pays in MYOB as usual. If you’re already paying super via Pay Super with each pay run, you’re all set.

If you currently pay super quarterly, you’ll simply need to start paying it alongside your pay runs — and you’ll automatically meet the new timing requirements when Payday Super begins.

Not using Pay Super?

Turn on Pay Super

  • Go to the Payroll command centre and click Pay Superannuation if you're using AccountRight desktop. MYOB Business or browser users can head to the Payroll menu and select Super Payments. Click Sign up and follow the prompts. We’ll verify your bank account with a 1 cent deposit and an SMS code for secure authorisation.
  • Assign your Pay Super payment authoriser(s) so approvals are in place before your first payment.
  • Process payroll as usual and use MYOB to pay super each pay run, and meet the Payday Super timing from 1 July 2026.

If you’d like to double-check your Pay Super setup or payment authorisers, you can review your settings any time in MYOB.

    Just wondering when you will have a one button system to pay super weekly, instead of the existing cumbersome system?

  • Hi Mike

    My question to you. Our company closes over the Christmas period which means I generally process either 1 or 2 pay periods when I come back to work. Does Payday Super only trigger when I process a payrun?

    Here's an idea - have a button to press after you have done the payroll that automatically pays super for that payroll.

    After all computers are supposed to make things simple.

    I don't have the option to set up the Payday super, why is this?

    I found MYOB Super to be slow in transferring the funds to the superfunds.  I paid super 12/1 and my super did not reach my superfund until 20/1 (7 working days).  There were no data errors, etc.  It was a simple transfer.  MYOB will need a quicker turnaround.  Is MYOB working on this

  • Super is continually being rejected - only message " Clearing house error: Source failed" Will Myob offer more help in regards to detailed reasons why a super contribution has failed? 

  • Hi arjay,

     

    Totally agree, a one-click weekly super payment would be a game-changer. For now, you can add super while you’re running payroll so it’s all done in one go, when you're using Pay Super. Your idea’s awesome! Please post this on our Ideas Exchange as a suggestion to improve Pay Super, so our product team and the community can review it and vote.

     

    Cheers,

      Hi Princess,

      I thought that posting here would suffice - shame MYOB is cumbersome in so many ways:)

      We are using ART as clearing house. Will this change when I switch on Pay Super in MYOB AccountRight and if so, what clearing house are you using? 

      Thank you 

  • In our list of superannuation funds (accountright) we have a lot of funds that are no longer active or that have merged with other funds.  We currently use a clearing house for our super payments and when these changes occur they automatically move the employee's information to the new or amalgamated fund and the old fund that no longer exists is not able to be input leading to fewer input errors.  Is there a way to make obsolete/merged super funds in myob inactive and will pay super have the same sort of functionality as our clearing house in terms of keeping up to date with super funds merging etc and making those funds inactive or no longer able to be used in the future.  We have found that on occasion using the employee self onboarding function that an employee has input a super fund that at the time of the self onboarding had merged with another fund and had a new name.  Because they had input a super fund that was already set up in our list the old fund was input into their superannuation category which leads to the possibility of the error not being picked up or delay in using myob pay super function which would not occur when using our current clearing house.

  • Hi DebM,

     

    That’s a bit odd, especially if you’re the business owner of the account. Take a look at this link for what you need to know before setting up Pay Super. I’m also sharing this guide about the upcoming changes to paying super.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    Starting 1 July 2026, employers must pay Superannuation Guarantee contributions at the same time as salary and ensure the funds reach employees’ super accounts within seven business days. If you use MYOB Pay Super, you are ready as payments can be made with each pay run and comply with the new Payday Super rules.

     

    If you currently pay super quarterly, switch to paying with each pay run to meet the new timing. To set up Pay Super, go to Payroll and select Pay Superannuation for AccountRight or Super Payments for MYOB Business, verify your bank, assign payment authorisers, and process payroll as usual. You can review your setup anytime in MYOB.
