In preparation for the activation of Qualifying Earnings (QE) Reporting in FY27, you should begin configuring your payroll now to ensure QE reports accurately when the time comes.
This article provides an overview of how QE is calculated and what should be considered during setup.
🔴 Important
- QE reporting should only be activated after FY26 payroll has been finalised.
Activating QE too early may impact STP reporting. - SSID registration must be completed before STP submissions will process.
If this step is not completed, submissions may fail.
Refer to Step 1 in the Payday Super Guide Hub.
