Description
The Pay Records and Payday Super Checklist is a practical tool for professional services firms and other small employers wanting to strengthen payroll compliance.
It covers payday super requirements from 1 July 2026, including calculating super each pay cycle, paying contributions every payday, meeting the seven-business-day payment window, reporting through Single Touch Payroll and preparing for the cashflow impact of more frequent super payments.
The checklist also helps employers review payslip content, maintain required employee and payroll records for seven years, and keep clear evidence of wages, hours, leave, deductions and superannuation payments.
Designed for business owners, payroll staff and bookkeepers, it provides a simple way to identify gaps in payroll systems and build a more reliable ongoing pay routine.
This checklist provides general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Employers should confirm current requirements with the Fair Work Ombudsman, Australian Taxation Office or a qualified professional.
