What is Payday Super?

From 1 July 2026, employers must pay their employees’ superannuation on the same day they pay wages. Super funds must receive contributions within 7 business days after each payday.

Payroller is already preparing for these changes to ensure employers stay fully compliant.


Payroller uses BEAM, our integrated super clearing house. This means that once Payday Super begins:

1. Super will be paid at the same time as payroll

When you finalise a pay run, Payroller will prompt you to submit super immediately through BEAM.

2. Contributions will be processed faster

BEAM will process your super payments so that funds are received for contributions within the required 7 business days.

3. You’ll see clearer status updates

You’ll be able to track the progress of your super payments in Payroller, including:

  • Submitted

  • Processing

  • Received by the fund

4. Cut-off alerts

If a payment is submitted close to weekends or public holidays, Payroller may display an alert about potential delays. This helps you avoid late submissions and penalties.

5. Payroller will support you in meeting your compliance requirements.

Payroller will:

  • Prompt you to make super payments immediately after completing your pay run

  • Show real-time status updates of your super payments via BEAM

  • Help reduce the risk of Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) penalties
