Hi Sharon_M1,
I can understand why that feels worrying, especially when you were seeing the ATO clearing house payments land a bit quicker. Pay Super payments don’t go straight from your bank to the employee’s super fund. They’re processed through MYOB’s clearing house provider, SuperChoice, and there’s also bank clearance and fund allocation time involved. Because of that, it can take a little longer for the contribution to appear in the employee’s super account. While payments often arrive sooner, we generally recommend allowing up to 7–10 business days for the full process to complete. So if yours is showing in 9 days, that would usually still be within the expected timeframe.
In terms of the July 1 changes, the best thing you can do is submit the payment as early as possible after processing payroll, so there’s enough time for the clearing and fund processing to happen. If all employee and fund details are correct on your end, that helps avoid unnecessary delays too. If a payment goes past the normal timeframe, or stays stuck in Processing payment longer than expected, best to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant, MOCA, or submit a case via My Account so they can check the payment status more closely and investigate if anything is holding it up.

As a response from a MYOB Moderator - this is really poor form.
Your clients are showing concern about complying with government legislation and requirements that will impose monetary FINES on them directly if your company fails to provide a suitable service.
It would be far more appropriate to address the concern rather than just reiterating that you cannot provide any confidence that you will help us meet our obligations.
The Question is now can MYOB confrim its ability to comply with the requirements of PAYDAY super?
