What employees need to understand about Payday Super
- Your employer now pays your super for each payday, instead of every quarter. There is no change to the amount of super you will receive, unless your pay changes.
- The amount of super for each pay will still be shown on your payslip.
- Depending on your employer’s payroll timing, your super will be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
- Employers have 7 business days after paying you to make sure their super payments reach your super fund. Sometimes longer time may apply.
- Check your super details and balance directly with your super fund. The payment may not be visible in your super account straight away – it depends on how often the fund updates information. You can find this out from your super fund.
- You can also check your contributions via the ATO app. Payments won’t be visible straight away. You can view payments received by the fund by:
- Logging in to the ATO app
- Clicking the Super tab
- Clicking the View employer contributions button.
- You can also see how much super your employer reported they were required to pay you by:
- Logging in to the ATO app
- Clicking the Employment tab
- Click the View superannuation contributions button
- The amounts shown could be different from how much super has been paid.
- You can help ensure your super is paid on time by keeping your super fund details up to date with your employer, your super fund and the ATO, including if you change funds. If your details are not up to date, your super payment may be rejected by the super fund.

Super more often? This benefits YOU
Your employer now pays your super for each payday.
You might think this already happens because you see super on your payslip. But previously, employers only needed to pay super into your fund at least once every three months.
Now, your contributions will reach your fund sooner, helping your super balance grow faster.
All you need to do is make sure your employer, your super fund, and the ATO, all have the correct super fund details. If you're unsure of what super accounts you hold, you can log in to ATO online services (including ATO App) through myGov to monitor your super. You can also use the ATO online services to check your super details or track your balance and employer contributions, or you can contact your fund directly.
You can find more information on Payday Super at ato.gov.au/PaydaySuper.
