Payday Super¶
From 1 July 2026, super is paid on payday — the biggest change to super in years. This module explains Payday Super from the ground up: what it is and why it was introduced, when it starts, how it changes payroll and payment timing, what it means for employers and employees, what happens if super is late, and how to get your business and software ready.
General information only — not tax, super or financial advice.
