🔄 Workflow Impact: Previous vs Payday Super
To understand the impact of Payday Super, it is useful to compare the previous process with the new requirements.
Under the previous approach, superannuation was typically managed within a quarterly cycle, allowing more time to review, correct, and finalise data.
Payday Super introduces a more structured and time-sensitive process, where reporting and payment occur closer to each pay run.
This means that issues such as incorrect employee details or configuration gaps are identified much earlier, rather than at the end of a quarter.
As a result, accurate setup and clean data are critical to ensure payroll processing and reporting run smoothly.
| What Changes | Previous Process | Payday Super (Jobpac) |
|---|---|---|
| Payment timing | Paid quarterly | Paid each payroll cycle |
| Processing timeframe | Extended timeframe within a quarter | Short timeframe aligned to each pay run |
| Calculation method | Based on OTE | Based on Qualifying Earnings (QE) |
| Error handling | Reviewed and corrected at quarter end | Issues identified earlier during payroll processing |
| Impact on payroll | Separate activity after payroll | Integrated into each payroll run |
When your configuration is complete and your data is accurate, this transition can be managed effectively as part of your regular payroll process.
