Super Changes for Employers

What’s changing for employers

From 1 July 2026:
• You’ll need to pay your employees’ super at the same time as their wages or salary.

• Super funds must get employees’ SG contributions no later than 7 business days after payday.

• The super guarantee charge (SGC) will change, with tougher penalties if you don’t pay super in full and on time.

• If you hire a new employee, you’ll have 20 business days (starting from the day after wages or salary are paid) for the employee’s super fund to successfully get their first super contribution.

• The ATO Small Business Super Clearing House (SBSCH) will close for all employers as at 30.06.2026. This will require June quarter payments, due by July 28th, to be made using an alternative method.
