Payday Super Consultation & Compliance
New ATO Obligation — Act NowPayday Super Is Coming.
Is Your Payroll Ready?
The rules around superannuation are facing a significant shift. Under the ATO’s upcoming Payday Super initiative, the traditional method of paying employee superannuation quarterly is being phased out completely.
For business owners, staying ahead of these compliance changes is critical to avoiding automated ATO penalties and interest charges. Rather than waiting for the deadline to catch your cash flow off guard, let GMH Consulting review your current payroll setup, update your software rules, and automate your workflow now.
What Exactly Is Payday Super?
Currently, many Australian employers accumulate and lodge their staff’s superannuation quarterly. Once the new legislation takes effect, you will be legally required to pay superannuation contributions on the same day you process your regular pay run—whether that’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
While this ensures employees receive their entitlements faster, it fundamentally changes how small businesses must manage their week-to-week working capital and payroll administration. If your back-office systems aren’t prepared for the frequency, the extra data entry can quickly become a bottleneck.
Streamlining Your Systems for Payday Super
Manually processing and clearing super payments every week or fortnight is highly inefficient. The most reliable way to handle the new laws without losing hours to extra administration is through clean software automation.
We specialise in upgrading your cloud accounting setup to handle the new frequency seamlessly:
Xero Configurations
We adjust your Xero payroll parameters, realign your pay run cycles, and optimise your automated clearing house options so super is processed right alongside your standard wages in a single step.
MYOB Infrastructure:
We audit your MYOB Business or AccountRight ledger, verify your employee pay categories, and ensure your payroll data maps perfectly to Single Touch Payroll requirements for straightforward reporting.
Our Practical Payday Super Consultation Process
We don’t hand you a generic checklist. Instead, we build a functional roadmap based entirely on your business’s actual cash flow. During your consultation, GMH Consulting will work with you to:
-
Review your current pay frequencies, software versions, and contractor arrangements.
-
Model your upcoming payment schedules so your bank account never takes an unexpected hit.
