G'day @john183 👋
It is mandatory for you to report employee payments to the ATO each pay and, when Payday Super starts on 1 July 2026, to send your super data and payment on payday.
There are truly free payroll products that include payroll, STP reporting to the ATO and SuperStream reporting each pay - with no cost for those who have less than 4 employees.
Search for "e-PayDay" and "freepay" for just such a payroll product. 😉

Which system you use to run payroll for your employees? Some payroll system includes this feature without incurring additional cost.

Hi @john183,
Just to add onto @PayrollDeanne response - with the upcoming changes to how and when super will be paid (known as payday superannuation) it’s important to understand what you’ll need to do.
All employers will need to provide payments and related data to super funds electronically, for each payday, using an option that is compliant with SuperStream.
Since the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) is closing with the new system, it’s a good idea to get familiar with your other lodgment and payment options now. you can use:
If you’re not sure which option is best for you, you can also ask your accountant or bookkeeper for help.
