Payday Super: Major reform set to reshape employer obligations by Sovereign Private
From 1 July 2026, employers will be required to pay superannuation within seven business days of each payday under the new Payday Super reforms. This replaces the quarterly payment system, ensuring faster contributions and fairer outcomes for employees. The change, introduced through two Bills and ATO guidance in October 2025, aims to reduce unpaid super and improve transparency.
Employers must now update payroll systems, review clearing house arrangements, and ensure compliance with new Qualifying Earnings rules. Sovereign Private can assist businesses in preparing for these reforms by reviewing payroll configurations, pay codes, and governance frameworks to ensure readiness.
