Payday Super Starting July 2026

From 1 July 2026, employers must pay superannuation guarantee (SG) at the same time as salary and wages. It’s important for business owners and payroll officers to be ready and ensure all SG contributions arrive in their employees’ super funds within 7 business days of payday. There are a few exceptions where employers have a bit more time to make super contributions, like when they have a new employee.

The ATO has produced a SuperStream changes factsheet highlighting important changes to software, error messaging, and processing timesor more information, visit ato.gov.au/paydaysuper.
