The Australian payroll landscape is preparing for one of its most significant shifts in years: Payday Super. This legislative change, effective July 1, 2026, will require employers to pay their employees’ Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions on the same day they pay their salary and wages.
At SpinifexIT, we understand that major regulatory updates can be daunting. We are committed to supporting our customers (and the broader SAP community) by ensuring our solutions, particularly Easy STP, are ready well ahead of the deadline.
While the government has passed the legislation, digital service providers like SAP and SpinifexIT are still awaiting finalized technical requirements from the ATO. However, we are already proactively planning several key enhancements to our Easy STP solution to help you transition smoothly:
In addition: Our Easy STP solution will add a new Payday Super menu, with an initial 10 new reports to help you with preparation for Pay Day Super, as well as ongoing validation of the payments.
These reports fall into the following categories.
Please see a sneak peak of the Payday Super reporting suite below:
The SAP Changes are scheduled to be released on 14th May 2026
SpinifexIT is planning an initial release of additional functionality on the 22nd May 2026. This will be part of our 2025.R2 release (Patch 4). Alternatively, our latest release 2026.R1 (patch 1) will also contain the new changes, and will be made available on the 22nd June 2026
In order to prepare for the SpinifexIT Easy STP enhancements, we recommend moving to the above release and patch levels. We also recommend that you move to the required SAP HRSP support pack level
Further releases are planned over the following months where we will further extend the existing functionality over a phased roll out.
While we wait for SAP’s release of the new functionality, there are steps you can take today to ensure your organization is ready:
Whether you are a long-time customer or just exploring our solutions, SpinifexIT is here to help you navigate the “Payday Super” journey with confidence.
