Payday Super, ready today
Super now runs with every pay run.
The rule changed on 1 July 2026. myaccountant keeps super beside payroll, so every run shows what was reported, what was paid, and what still needs attention.

John Smith and Steve Jobs have never had super paid, all reported amounts are overdue. The ATO SG Charge applies and includes interest and an administration fee. Fix fund details and make payment immediately.
Outstanding amounts for Alicia Singh, Maria Rodriguez, David Kim, and Priya Thomas represent Q4 FY25 SGC due 28 April 2025. These are on time, 8 days remaining.
Next SGC estimated is based on current ordinary time earnings and will vary with actual pay run outcomes.
What changed. What did not.
Until 1 July 2026, most Australian employers paid super quarterly, four times a year, with a window after each quarter ended. Since that date, super must be paid at the same time as wages, every pay run, with the payment reaching the employee's super fund within a short window after payday.
The operational change is the hard part. Quarterly super could sit at the edge of payroll. Per-pay-run super has to sit inside it. Many businesses are still reviewing employee setup, payment timing, and clearing-house arrangements.
The obligation itself did not change. You pay the same super, to the same funds, for the same employees. Only the timing moved, and the timing is what changes the workflow.

What actually goes wrong
Four things that do not fix themselves.
01
Quarterly super could wait. This cannot
Super used to sit beside payroll. Now it sits inside it, so the run prepares the payment at the same time it works out the pay.
Until 1 July 2026, quarterly
4 payments
Since then, with every pay run
26 payments
The same money, to the same funds, for the same people. Only the timing changed, and the timing is what changes your week.
02
One employee without fund details holds up the run
The screen tracks who has fund details and who does not. See the list and fix the gaps before pay day instead of after.

Action required
Nothing to do
Everyone here has fund details on file. When somebody does not, this is the screen that tells you, before pay day.
03
A rejected payment is your problem, not the fund's
You see who it was for, which fund sent it back, and why, usually an out-of-date fund number. Fix that and the next payment goes through.
- Payday 13 Aug 2026 Received by fund Arrived 16 Aug 2026, 8 days early
- Payday 30 Jul 2026 Received by fund Arrived 02 Aug 2026, 8 days early
- Payday 16 Jul 2026 Received by fund Arrived 19 Jul 2026, 8 days early
- Payday 02 Jul 2026 Received by fund Arrived 05 Jul 2026, 8 days early
Not just sent. Received. If a payment bounces at the fund it is still on you, so the record follows it all the way in.
04
The clearing house was a separate login
Payments go through the national super network from here, and the record stays beside payroll. Self-managed funds work the same way.
-
Finalise the pay run Your step
The super is worked out with the pay, for each person.
-
Beam clears it
It goes through the national super network. No second login, and no separate account to keep topped up.
-
The fund receives it
Tracked until it lands, with the date it arrived against the deadline.
Only the first step is yours.
For employers already on Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks.
Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks have all committed to Payday Super support, and the point of this page is not to suggest otherwise.
The practical question is how much process your business has to change. If super is a separate task after payroll, that task now runs on every pay day instead of four times a year. In myaccountant, payroll and super already sit together.
Questions readers ask about Payday Super.
If I switch to myaccountant now, how quickly can I be ready for Payday Super?
Most businesses complete setup in an afternoon. The only requirement is that every employee has their super fund details captured, and the Payroll Overview tells you exactly who is ready and who is not.
What happens if an employee's fund rejects a super payment?
The Super Overview shows the rejection per employee, in red. You see exactly which employee, which fund, and why, usually an out-of-date fund identifier. You fix the detail and the next payment goes through.
Do I still need a separate clearing house account?
No. Super payments route through the national super network from myaccountant, with the record kept beside payroll.
What record is kept of each super payment?
Every calculation, lodgement, payment and reconciliation is timestamped and kept. If an employee asks about a contribution later, the record is there.
How does this work for SMSFs?
SMSFs are handled natively. Employees with a self-managed fund enter their ABN, ESA, and bank details during onboarding; the platform validates and routes contributions correctly.
What if I am still set up for quarterly super?
Quarterly super ended on 1 July 2026. Once every employee's fund details are captured, myaccountant prepares super with each pay run automatically, and nothing else about your payroll workflow changes.
Is there a specific setup I need to do for Payday Super?
No separate project is needed. The main setup is making sure every employee's super fund is captured, which the Payroll Overview shows you.
