When does Payday Super start?
Payday Super is mandatory from 1 July 2026. From that date, employers must ensure super contributions are received by each employee fund within 7 business days of payday.

Choose a payment method — Direct Credit, PayTo, PayID or a SuperStream Alternative File Format (SAFF) file — and submit super with each pay run. The interactive readiness guide walks through the setup.
What is the Payday Super 7 business day rule?
From 1 July 2026, super contributions must be received by the employee superannuation fund within 7 business days of each payday, rather than quarterly.
