If you're not upgrading to a version that supports Payday Super, your Payday Super obligations still apply from 1 July. Follow the steps below to stay compliant.
Plan your upgrade
We recommend you plan your upgrade to a version that supports Payday Super as soon as possible. If you run into a Payday Super issue after 1 July, you'll need to upgrade to the minimum supported version to receive product updates.
Check your qualifying earnings (QE)
Make sure there are no superannuation guarantee (SG) shortfalls under the updated definition of QE.
- Check the QE definition so you know what's required.
- Make sure your pay item liabilities for SG are set up correctly for any pay runs from 1 July onwards.
-
Pay superannuation to your employees on their pay day.
Manually update the maximum contribution base
For any business dates on or after 1 July 2026, you must manually update the maximum contributions base.
- Go to the Pay Items form (MPPP2210).
- Open your employer super pay item.
- For the Threshold(s) apply? field, click the Edit pencil icon.
- In the Pay Item Threshold window, select the Maximum Threshold Applies checkbox.
- Deselect the Use the Standard Superannuation Guarantee maximum threshold checkbox.
- Set the Maximum Eligible Earnings Threshold to to $67,707.50. This is the quarterly cap (based on the annual maximum of $270,830 divided by 4).
- Save your changes.
When you upgrade, set up qualifying earnings (QE) reporting
After upgrading to a version that supports Payday Super, you'll begin reporting QE mid-year. Your year-to-date figures need to cover all QE earnings from 1 July up to when you start reporting.
On the Pay Item Liabilities form (MPPP1025), set which pay items are liable for QE.
If you have pay runs with a payday after 1 July 2026, contact MYOB support to backfill your QE year-to-date data. Only do this after setting up all pay item liabilities for QE. After MYOB updates your historic data, your next pay event will automatically include the full QE year-to-date totals.
