Consultation period: 11 March to 8 April 2025
We invite feedback on draft legislation and regulations for payday super.
These amendments:
require employers to pay their employees’ super at the same time as their salary and wages
update penalties and charges for late or missed super payments.
The updates will make the consequences for employers targeted and proportionate.
The proposed start date for payday super is 1 July 2026. The government announced the measure in the 2023–24 Budget.
