How to change pay super option within MYOB
Hi, I have been using the inbuilt paysuper function within payroll only MYOB subscription, and have trialled a couple of payday super direct from a payrun. The process was similar to previous, where ...

Hi SG2026,
Makes sense to be pressure-testing this now, rather than in the middle of a tight payday super deadline. The advice you got on the phone is the right workaround. If you want to stop using the current Pay Super-linked fund, you’ll need to create a new super fund in the file. Make the name slightly different by adding a word or letter so it's treated as a new record. It does look like you can use an external APRA-regulated clearing house instead of MYOB Pay Super. The main thing is that under Payday Super, contributions still need to be paid with each pay cycle and reach the employee’s fund within 7 business days. It’s also worth checking this with the ATO to make sure your process stays compliant.

Hi Doreen_P ,
Thankyou for your response. Do I now go back into each employee's pay details and select the relevant new super fund (with the pay day super option unselected) and copy over their member number. Will this impact the STP end of financial year reporting/ reconciliation, as it could appear that I've not paid sufficient super for each employee.
Do you know whether MYOB creates a SAFF file (quicksuper compatible format) that I can download from MYOB after each pay run, and then upload to an APRA listed SCH?

Hi SG2026,
Yes, that’s correct. You’d need to go back into each employee’s pay details, select the new super fund, and then copy across their member number. If the new fund you’re linking is just replacing the old one with the same fund details, this shouldn’t affect your EOFY STP reporting or reconciliation. With the SAFF file side of things, MYOB doesn’t create a SAFF or QuickSuper-compatible file that you can download after each pay run and then upload to another clearing house. Super payments made through Pay Super are processed directly in MYOB, so a separate contribution file isn’t generated.
