Sorry for the delayed reply, and thanks for flagging your concerns. With Payday Super, contributions generally need to reach the employee’s fund within 7 business days of payday, and in some cases there can be extra processing time while fund details are being validated and set up. That’s why it’s best to process contributions as early as possible.
While we’re always happy to help look into any delays and share as much information as we can, fines or penalties for late super payments wouldn’t be something MYOB is able to cover. The good news is that the ATO has said it plans to take a practical, education-focused approach in the first 12 months of Payday Super, especially where businesses are making genuine efforts to meet the new requirements. You can check out more info here.

I have a different but related problem - I processed a Super payment on 18/06/26 and Super Payments shows it as complete. However, under Pay Runs super is showing as unpaid and the funds have not come out of the bank account. I have not received any notification of a problem and there are sufficient funds in the bank account. We have successfully used PayDay Super four times previously - why is is not working now?
Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply. To clarify, the money doesn’t sit with MYOB at any stage. The time it takes to show in your employees’ super accounts can vary depending on bank processing times, as well as how long it takes for the funds to allocate the payment to each individual super fund. This forum post gives a more detailed explanation of the processing timeframes and who’s involved along the way.
Marise, there’s currently an issue our team is investigating where super payments aren’t always syncing correctly between the Pay Run window and the Pay Super status. I don’t have a timeframe to share just yet, but it is being looked into. In the meantime, the best place to check unpaid super liabilities is the Super Payments window and the Super Payments report, so you can make sure everything matches up there.
Cheers,
