By bringing contributions, calculations, and submissions into one place, you can streamline the entire process, and dramatically reduce your admin under the new requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is Payday Super?
Payday Super is a new Australian requirement that changes when employers pay superannuation.
From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay their employeesโ super at the same time as wages (instead of the current quarterly schedule). This means super is processed with every pay run, making payments more frequent and more closely aligned with payroll.
The goal of Payday Super is to improve retirement outcomes for employees by getting contributions into their super funds sooner, and to increase transparency and compliance across the system.
For businesses, it means:
- More frequent super payments
- Tighter deadlines
- A greater need for accurate, real-time payroll processes
Using payroll software that supports Payday Super like Reckon Payroll can help make this transition easier by automating payments and reducing the risk of errors or missed contributions.
When will Payday Super come into effect?
Payday super will come into effect on 1 July 2026. Businesses must adequately prepare for these new changes in their payroll management system to stay compliant.
Is Reckon Payroll Payday Super compliant?
Yes. Reckon Payroll is ready for Payday Super requirements coming into effect 1 July 2026.
