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 close on 1 July 2026, meaning employers that use it will have to find another way to pay super. Find out more about the closure and what you can do next.

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

Employers will have 7 business days to pay their employee’s super after payday. Super funds will now have 3 business days, down from 20, to allocate or return contributions – meaning that data employers send will need to be high quality.

Super Guarantee Charge

Employers will be liable for the super guarantee charge (SGC) unless super payments are successfully received in the super fund bank account no later than 7 business days after payday (QE day).

Changes to SGC

Employers that don’t pay employees’ super in full and on time will be charged interest and penalties. Employers can face extra charges and fees if they don’t pay all super entitlements within 28 days of receiving an ATO notice.
