The Real Cost of Paying Superannuation Late


Think paying super a few days late is no big deal?


Many employers are surprised to learn that even a short delay can trigger extra reporting, interest, admin fees, and the loss of tax deductions. In some cases, the real cost only becomes clear long after the payment has been made. So how would you know if a past payment was late, especially if it went through a clearing house?



Payday Super: What Employers Need to Know Before 1 July 2026


Superannuation is changing, and from 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay super at the same time as wages.


At first glance, Payday Super may sound like a small timing change, but it can affect your payroll processes, cash flow, and software setup more than you might expect. The good news? With the right preparation, it does not need to be disruptive.



Fair Work Payroll Compliance for Employers


Payroll often gets set up once and then trusted to run, but businesses change, roles evolve, and awards are updated.


Fair Work is increasing its focus on payroll accuracy, and issues are often found in businesses that thought everything was running smoothly. Small gaps can quietly build up over time if payroll settings are not reviewed.
