Employer Compliance with Payday Super?
The transition to Payday Super requires employers to pay super contributions on the same day salary and wages are paid. Contributions must land in the employee's chosen super fund within 7 business days of payday. Failure to do so triggers the Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC), including interest and administrative penalties.
Cash Flow and Working Capital Impacts?
Previously, businesses could hold super guarantee amounts in their bank accounts for up to 118 days (the quarter duration plus the 28-day grace period). Under Payday Super, this float is eliminated. Employers must plan cash flows to support higher-frequency super payments and account for the minor loss of working capital interest or yields on held funds.
