From 1 July 2026, employers will need to:

• Pay super at the same time as wages or salaries, instead of quarterly.
• Ensure contributions reach each employee’s super fund within 7 business days of payday.

Start Preparing Now

The changes will take effect in 4 weeks, so it is important to start preparation now:

• Review and update your current processes without rushing
• Test new systems and workflows before they become mandatory
• Understand and plan for cash flow impacts
• Make any necessary changes to employee super details
• Get comfortable with new tools and timing

The businesses that will transition most smoothly are the ones that start planning now, rather than waiting until the first pay run in July 26.
