Payday Super is coming, and if your business runs payroll through Employment Hero, here's what you need to know.
From 1 July 2026, new legislative requirements around Qualifying Earnings (QE) and the Annual Maximum Contribution Base (MCB) will take effect.
The good news? Employment Hero has already released the configuration changes to prepare your payroll. Most businesses won't need to do much, pay categories are now auto-classified for QE, and STP will handle Codes Q and L automatically for post-July pay runs.
A few areas worth reviewing now:
✅ Pay category settings (especially if you have award or EBA super arrangements)
✅ Annual MCB configuration at employee or Pay Rate Template level
✅ Any API integrations that reference MCB fields
As your Employment Hero partner, we're here to make sure this transition is seamless. If you'd like us to review your configuration before the changeover, get in touch.
