What is TASS doing for the Payday Super requirements?

Payday Super is a new initiative in Australia that requires employers to pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions at the same time as salary and wages payments.

This change, effective from 1 July 2026, means that super contributions must be received by the employee's super fund within 7 business days of payday, rather than the previous quarterly system.

See the Australian Taxation Office website for more information.

With Payday Super quickly approaching, TASS is actively working on changes to our payroll system ahead of the July 1st implementation date.

For the solution, we have partnered with a SuperStream member and financial technology providers to enable a more streamlined process for submitting superannuation contributions directly from within TASS.

This solution is intended to allow both the required data and payment instructions to be actioned from within TASS, removing the need to export files and upload them separately to a clearing house.

Schools will still have the option to continue using their existing process if preferred. You’ll still be able to export your superannuation file from TASS and lodge it via your existing clearing house, provided they’re able to meet the new Payday Super requirements.

These changes are currently on the TASS Software Development Roadmap and are targeted for inclusion in the May General Release, pending testing. Further information and resources will be provided as the release approaches to ensure all schools are well prepared for the transition.
