Payday Super

We currently pay super monthly, and pay wages to staff either monthly or fortnightly. I've set up Pay Super, and just lodged my first monthly super payment though it today. I would like to start using Payday Super from the 1st March, so we can get used to it. Is the process of using Payday Super the same as Pay Super, just done at the same time as paying wages? I've looked through the information, but haven't been able to figure out exactly how it will work. Thank you!

Hey AnnaCWP,

Really appreciate you sharing how you’re managing super at the moment and wanting to get familiar with Payday Super early. Payday Super works the same way as Pay Super. If you pay weekly, the super processes weekly. If you pay fortnightly or monthly, the super follows that same timing and it'll officially takes effect on July 1. You can also check this link for more info with Payday Super.

Cheers,

Doreen

Thanks Princess

I'm still a bit confused. Your response says the catch to activating Pay Super is "that super gets paid at the same time as wages". But "you can still run super quarterly right up until 1 July 2026".

So, for clarity, if we activate Pay Super from 1 May for our weekly payroll, can we continue to pay contributions quarterly until 1 July, rather than than weekly at the same time as wages?

Hi gpritch,

You’ve got it right! Any contributions you process before 1 July 2026 can still be paid quarterly. The requirement to pay super each pay run at the same time as wages only kicks in from 1 July 2026.

Cheers,

Thanks for clarifying. Just one query, you say that the end of June quarter is due at end of June, whereas it’s not usually due until end of July. If I’m paying through my clearinghouse until 1st July, can the June payment wait until end July, while also paying each week in July the day the pays are processed?
