Payday Super, explained

Since 1 July 2026, super gets paid with every pay run instead of every quarter. The rate's 12% of ordinary pay. Here's what that means for you.

What's changing

  • With every pay, since 1 July 2026

    Super has to be paid each time you pay wages, not once a quarter.

  • Within 7 business days

    The super has to reach your employee's fund within 7 business days of payday.

  • 20 days for someone new

    For a new employee's first payment (or a new fund), you get 20 business days.
