Payday Super
Payday Super starts from 1 July 2026.
Learn more on our dedicated Payday Super page.
Overview
Super allows you to make superannuation contributions to your employee's super funds. In a couple of clicks you can:
- Generate a payment link (BPAY) to make one payment for all your employees at once to our super clearing house partner. The clearing house then distributes the funds to each super fund on your behalf.
- Meet your reporting requirements via SuperStream — we send all the necessary information to the ATO.
Note that Super is an optional feature. You may continue to pay super via the ATO's Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) — although please note that the SBSCH will be closing on 1 July, 2026; and is closed for all new employer registrations since 1 October 2025.
Benefits of using Super:
- It's free! As of 1 October, 2025, Super is included at no additional cost in your existing Payroll plan
- You just make one payment via BPAY — and that's that (plus, Direct Debit is coming soon!)
- You can auto-enrol employees who choose your Default Super Fund option on their Superannuation Standard Choice Form into your default super fund automatically — they'll be enrolled, a membership number assigned and their Employee record updated.
- You stay compliant with your Super Stream reporting obligations as an employer.
- Make super payments wherever you are — even from our mobile app.
- You're Payday Super ready in time for 1 July, 2026.
Getting Started
The first step is to register with our superannuation clearing house partner, Beam. This is very straightforward. Simply navigate to the Super section of Payroll and click Set up Auto Super.
You will find detailed steps in our guide: Super - Registering with Beam.
Frequently Asked Questions about Super
Q: What are the payment deadlines for submitting super via Payroll (prior to Payday Super)?
A: You should ensure that you have submitted super via Payroll and made your BPAY payment no later than 3 business days (note, business days, so often this is 5 calendar days) before the ATO deadline.
From 1 July, 2026 you will need to make a super payment on the same day you pay wages (to be received by the employee's super fund within 7 working days).
