What is Payday Super?
From 1 July 2026, employers are required to pay their employees' superannuation at the same time they pay wages. Payroller is already prepared for these changes to help you stay compliant.
As Payroller uses BEAM, our integrated super clearing house, you can continue managing your super payments seamlessly within Payroller.
How Payday Super works in Payroller
1. Submit super after completing your pay run
When you finalise a pay run, Payroller will prompt you to submit your super payment through BEAM.
2. Faster contribution processing
BEAM processes super contributions to help employers meet the new Payday Super requirements.
3. Real-time payment status
Track the progress of your super payments directly within Payroller, including:
Submitted
Processing
Received by the fund
4. Cut-off alerts
If you're submitting close to weekends or public holidays, Payroller may display an alert to help reduce the risk of late submissions.
5. Stay compliant
Payroller helps you meet your obligations by:
Prompting you to submit super immediately after each pay run.
Providing real-time payment status updates.
Helping reduce the risk of Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) penalties.
BEAM Processing Timeframe Updates
To support employers in meeting their Payday Super obligations, BEAM has updated several contribution processing timeframes.
Effective 10 July 2026
Where possible, new unmatched or unallocated payments will be refunded to the source account after 3 business days, reduced from 10 business days.
Effective 24 July 2026
The following exception-handling timeframes now apply:
Submitted but unpaid contributions will be cancelled 3 business days after submission.
For underpaid or dishonoured contributions, the timeframe to make a make-up payment has been reduced from 10 business days to 3 business days.
Important: Ensure your super payment is funded promptly after submission to avoid cancellations, refunds, or delays.
