Payday Super is Coming. Are You Ready?

The ATO's Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) closes on 1 July 2026. If you currently use it to manage super payments, you need to switch to a new system before then. Wrkr makes the transition to payday super stress-free.

Simple setup, and free until July 1st. Starting from just $5/month. Register now for early access.

THE CHANGES

What you need to know about Payday Super

What is Payday Super?

From 1 July 2026, the ATO requires all employers to pay super contributions within 7 days of each payday, not quarterly.

Instead of quarterly payments, super is now paid with every pay run, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on how you run payroll.

When does it take effect?

1 July 2026. That's when payday super becomes law. The SBSCH closes the same day.

If you're currently using SBSCH, you have less than 5 months to transition.

How can Wrkr help your business?

Wrkr simplifies Payday Super with a single, consistent process every pay run.

Built-in validations, payment tracking, and clear visibility mean you can process super with confidence, every time.

Why you need to move now?

THE SBSCH IS CLOSING 1 JULY 2026.

If you use the ATO’s Small Business Clearing House, it’s time to plan your move.

From 1 July, the SBSCH will stop accepting new data. Payday Super becomes law, changing how and when super must be paid.

Wrkr is built for Payday Super. Set it up early, test it before July, and move across without the last-minute scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I actually have until I need to make the switch?

The ATO’s Small Business Clearing House is being phased out, and businesses will need to move to a Payday Super–ready solution.

Wrkr can be set up in a few hours, which means most businesses can switch early, test their process, and be fully prepared well before the change applies, without leaving it to the last minute.

When can I actually start using Wrkr?

You can go live on Wrkr from March with early access. This gives you time to set up your account, start using the platform, and get comfortable with the process ahead of the change.

From 1 July, full access begins and Wrkr becomes your ongoing solution. At this point, standard subscription fees apply.

Starting early means there’s no rush, no last-minute setup, and no disruption when the new requirements take effect.

What does Wrkr actually cost?

Wrkr is available to registered users at no cost until 1 July 2026. Pricing is based on employee numbers, with plans starting from $5.00 per month, billed monthly.

Eligible users will be invited to register when the platform goes live in March. Pricing is transparent, with your exact monthly cost displayed upfront prior to activation.

How long does setup actually take?

Set-up is straightforward and shouldn't take you longer than an hour. 

  • Review and confirm your employee details and pay structure
  • Map how and when super is paid across your workforce
  • Validate employee super fund details and payment information

You’ll have access to clear product documentation to guide you through each step. If you need additional support, our Australian-based customer support team is available to assist.

Is my data actually secure?

Wrkr protects customer data using the same security frameworks required by the ATO and global financial institutions.

Our controls are independently assessed and continuously maintained, including:

  • ISO/IEC 27001 — the international standard for information security management, verified through regular independent audits.

  • SOC 2 Type II — confirming our security controls operate effectively over time, not just at a single point.

  • ATO Operational Security Framework (OSF) compliant — a mandatory requirement for systems that connect directly to ATO services.

Security threats evolve constantly. That’s why Wrkr focuses on proven frameworks, ongoing assurance, and continuous monitoring.

What if I'm already using a payroll system?

If your payroll system generates a Standard Audit File for Super (SAFF), the industry-accepted format, you can simply upload that file into Wrkr to process your super payments.

No changes to how you run payroll. Wrkr uses the SAFF file to validate and process payments in line with Payday Super requirements.

Which super funds does Wrkr Pay support?

Wrkr supports all Australian APRA-regulated super funds — including AustralianSuper, REST, Hostplus, HESTA and Australian Retirement Trust — as well as over 600,000 self-managed super funds.

How long does it take to process payments?

Most super payments are settled within 1–3 business days from submission. Some funds process payments instantly.

Wrkr’s dashboard shows clear, fund-level timelines so you always know where each payment stands.

What happens if a payment fails?

If a payment fails, Wrkr notifies you with the specific reason for the failure.

You’ll see exactly what needs to be corrected,  whether it’s a data issue, fund detail, or validation error, so you can amend the information and reprocess the payment quickly.

Wrkr keeps a clear record of failed and reprocessed payments, giving you visibility and traceability at every step.

Can my accountant and bookkeeper access the Wrkr platform?

Yes. You can invite your bookkeeper or accountant to your Wrkr account and assign access based on the role you choose, including visibility into payment history and reporting.
