Payday Super is one of the biggest changes to superannuation obligations in years — and it’s
coming faster than many businesses realise.
From 1 July 2026, you’ll need to pay super contributions for every eligible employee on
each payday, not quarterly. Miss the 7-business-day window, and the ATO will automatically issue a Super Guarantee Charge assessment.
Here’s what’s changed at a glance:
- Payment timing: Quarterly → Each payday
- Due date: 28 days after quarter end → Within 7 business days of payday
- Calculation basis: OTE → Qualifying Earnings (QE)
- SGC assessment: Self-assessed → Automatic ATO assessment
- SBSCH: No longer available from 1 July 2026
The good news? There’s still time to get ahead of it.
We’ve put together a practical Timeline & Checklist to walk you through exactly what needs to happen — and when — between now and July.
