Latest updates on Payday Super
Payday Super reforms, announced in the 2023 Federal Budget, are proposed to start from 1 July 2026. These reforms align Superannuation Guarantee (SG) payments with regular pay cycles, requiring employers to pay SG simultaneously with salary and wages. Contributions will need to reach employees' superannuation funds within seven calendar days of payday.

The reforms represent a significant change to payment processes. Legislative change can be challenging for employers to find time to keep up with, but Hostplus is committed to making the transition smooth by providing regular guidance and support.

Draft legislation released earlier this year outlines key details, including exceptions to the seven-day rule for new employees and for payments made outside the regular pay cycle.

The legislation also outlines some new responsibilities for employers, aimed at streamlining administrative processes. These include revised rules around an employee’s choice of super fund, to improve onboarding processes and reduce administrative burdens. SuperStream standards will also be updated to improve error messaging for quick resolution of payment issues.

Wondering how the 1 July super changes might affect you?

Here's a quick breakdown from our superannuation partner, :
💰 The Superannuation Guarantee has increased to 12%. This boost, combined with compound returns, helps you build a more comfortable retirement.
👶 Super will now be paid on government-paid parental leave. Analysis shows this will increase a mother-of-two’s retirement savings by about $14,800.*
📊 The transfer balance cap and total super balance threshold have risen to $2 million. This change may impact your retirement income streams and contribution strategies.
💸 Government co-contribution thresholds have changed. If you earn up to $47,488, you could receive up to $500 in co-contributions. Partial contributions may apply if you’re earning up to $62,488.
