Employer resources

Payday Super is on the horizon. Simple super payments will be the key for employers staying compliant. The right tools will help employers stay compliant.

Payday Super: what’s new?

How Payday Super is changing the way super needs to be paid:

ATO’s clearinghouse closing

The ATO’s Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will be retired, meaning employers that currently use it will have to find an alternative way to pay super, such as a payroll software solution.

Qualified earnings

Payday is the date that an employer makes a qualifying earnings (QE) payment to an employee. QE comprises salary, wages, salary sacrifice super contributions and any other payments that qualify for the SG.

Payment deadline

The deadline for super funds to allocate or return contributions will be reduced to three business days, down from 20 – meaning the data that employers send will need to be high quality.

Super Guarantee Charge

Employers will be liable for the Super Guarantee charge (SGC) unless SG contributions are accepted by their employees’ super funds within seven days of payday.

Choice loading

Employers who miss super payments face the updated SGC, including choice loading, notional interest, and an admin uplift—reduced if they voluntarily disclose late payments before an ATO assessment is issued.
