From 1 July 2026, Payday Super will change how employers calculate and report super guarantee in Australia, using Qualifying Earnings (QE) instead of ordinary time earnings (OTE) as the main basis for STP and super liability reporting. We’re releasing updates to MYOB PayGlobal in two stages so you can prepare and then go live confidently: Product Changes Payday Preparation release Release Date: by 31 March This release gives you new tools to review and prepare your current setup ahead of Payday Super, including: To ensure this change is as seamless as possible for you, a new “Use in Super Qualifying Earnings” flag on allowances, automatically set to Yes where Use in Super OTE = Yes today. A new “Super Qualifying Earnings” column in Transaction View to help you validate and compare QE against your existing OTE base (for pays with a payment date on or after 1 July 2026). A new “Employee subject to industrial instrument” field on Employee Super Fund records, to support more detailed / custom super calculations in the EOFY release. An updated Super Settings screen that makes it clearer how your Maximum Earnings Base (MCB) is applied when determining whether you need to pay super guarantee. Australian EOFY / tax release Release Date: late May/early June This release will complete the end‑to‑end Payday Super support in PayGlobal, including: STP submissions that report QE and related super liability amounts for the 2026–27 tax year onwards. STP Manager and selected reports updated to show QE‑based amounts, including updates to SAFF and super reports where applicable. What you should do next Once the preparation release is available, we recommend that all Australian PayGlobal customers using STP: Review your configuration for Payday Super (QE) Work through our step‑by‑step Help Centre guide to check how you currently calculate super, confirm whether you’re using standard OTE configuration, and identify any allowances, bonuses or commissions that may need to change for QE. You can do this yourself, or work with the MYOB Professional Services team via a Payday Super review package if you think your setup is more complex, uses custom configuration or would simply like some support managing this change. Confirm how you pay super today If you pay super using files generated from PayGlobal, understand how updated QE amounts will appear in your reports. If you use a clearing house or other third‑party service, check with them that your payment process and timing will still meet Payday Super requirements. MYOB is not responsible for the configuration or compliance of third‑party clearing houses or services. Get ready for changes to the Maximum Earnings Base (MCB) From 1 July 2026, the MCB will be assessed against annual QE rather than quarterly OTE, which may change when higher‑earning employees reach the cap. Our dedicated article explains how this works in PayGlobal and what you should review for employees close to the cap.
