From 1 July 2026, employers must pay superannuation guarantee (SG) at the same time as salary and wages. We’re asking them to be ready and ensure all SG contributions arrive in their employees’ super funds within 7 business days of payday. There are a few exceptions where employers have a bit more time to make super contributions, like when they have a new employee.
To support you and your trustees to be ready, we have released:
- A short videoExternal Link, where Deputy Commissioner Emma Rosenzweig explains what employers need to know and do to be ready.
- SuperStream changes factsheet highlighting important changes to software, error messaging, and processing times.
We will continue to add information, guidance and resources to our website and keep you updated in this newsletter.
