It’s been almost a month since Payday Super became the new standard for Australian employers. While many businesses prepared well ahead of the change, the shift from quarterly superannuation payments to contributions alongside each payroll cycle has introduced new processes and new expectations.
For payroll teams, finance managers and business owners, the focus is now on ensuring payroll data is accurate, employee information is up to date, and super contributions can be processed efficiently every pay run.
The good news? With the right systems and processes in place, Payday Super doesn’t have to mean more administration.
What Does Payday Super Mean for Your Business?
Rather than treating super as a quarterly task, businesses now need to incorporate superannuation into their regular payroll workflow. This places greater importance on maintaining accurate employee records and ensuring payroll processes run smoothly every time.
It’s also an opportunity to improve payroll efficiency by reducing manual work and identifying data issues earlier.
How Cheops Supports Payday Super
Cheops has been enhanced to help businesses manage the increased frequency and accuracy required under Payday Super. By keeping payroll and employee information connected in one system, Cheops helps your team work more efficiently while supporting compliance.
Key features include:
- Confident payroll processing – Ensure employee hours, allowances, pay rates and payroll information are accurately captured to support correct super calculations.
- Efficient super data exports – Prepare contribution information for your preferred clearing house with streamlined export functionality.
- Member Verification Requests (MVR) – Validate employee super fund details when onboarding new employees or updating existing records, reducing the risk of contributions being sent to incorrect or outdated accounts.
- Built-in validation tools – Identify and correct payroll and superannuation data issues before processing contributions.
- Support for evolving compliance requirements – Stay aligned with changes to payroll reporting, including Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Payday Super requirements.
- Less manual administration – Reduce reliance on spreadsheets by managing payroll, employee and super information within one integrated system.
A Quick Payroll Health Check
Now is an ideal time to review your payroll setup and confirm everything is running as expected.
Ask yourself:
- Are employee and company details current?
- Is super fund information accurate and up to date?
- Have employee super details been verified using MVR where required?
- Are your payroll processes efficient enough to support every pay cycle?
Taking a few minutes to review your data now can help prevent processing delays and reduce administrative effort later.
