It introduces a core requirement for employers to make super contributions to funds within seven calendar days of payday, significantly accelerating current processes.The implementation of Payday Super involves extensive collaboration across the SG ecosystem, including employers, digital service providers, gateways, clearing houses, super funds, and the ATO.
