Payday Super is Here: What Every Employer Needs to Do Now

Super isn't quarterly anymore, and your payroll process probably hasn't caught up yet.

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid within 7 days of every wage payment. For most small businesses, that's a fundamental shift in how cash flow and payroll actually work. Timothy Quinn, Head of Tax & Accounting at Lawpath, walks through exactly what's changed, what the ATO expects, how to configure Xero or your payroll system to stay compliant, and what penalties apply if you miss a payment.

2nd July, 2026, 12:00 PM AEST
