From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay super at the same time as wages, not quarterly. This means your employee’s super fund must receive the contribution within **7 business days of payday**.

**Why the change?**  
It is designed to reduce unpaid or late super, improve transparency and give employees more time for their savings to grow.

**What employers need to prepare for:**  
• A new compliance requirement. Super must arrive within 7 business days.  
• Stronger penalties for late or missing payments.  
• A review of payroll systems, software, processes and cash flow to ensure contributions can be made on time.  
• Slightly longer timeframes may apply for new employees in some cases.

**What this means for employees:**  
• Super will be paid more frequently.  
• Contributions will compound sooner, supporting stronger long-term retirement outcomes.  
• It is worth checking fund statements to make sure payments are landing on time.
