Transitioning to Payday Super with MYOB Acumatica

Payday Super starts in July. Here's what to do in MYOB Acumatica.

From 1 July 2026, employers must calculate and pay employees' super guarantee following the new PayDay Super guidelines. These changes affect almost every aspect of how super guarantee is managed.

With version MYOB Acumatica — Payroll version 2025.2.100, you have all the tools you need to be compliant, but there's some setup required and some changes you need to be aware of.

This page is about what you need to do in the MYOB Acumatica  — Payroll software. For more information about the changes and the impact on your business, see Payday Super: A complete guide for mid-size businesses.

1. Familiarise yourself with the new superannuation features

We've made changes to a number of screen and workflows to support Payday Super. Read through Payroll: Support for Payday Super (AU) to make sure you're on top of the changes.


2. Update your Pay Items

One of the biggest changes under Payday Super is the new superannuation earnings base, called qualifying earnings. The new base is broader, so it includes some pay items that were previously not liable for superannuation guarantee. There are also some cases where certain pay items may no longer be liable for superannuation guarantee.

To make sure your super payments are correct, you need to manually review all your pay items. This needs to be done after your last pay run prior to July 1, but before your next one.

To review your pay items:

  1. Make sure yu understand which payments are and aren't included. For more information, see the ATO page What payments are qualifying earnings.
  2. Open the Pay Item Liabilities screen (MPPP1025).
  3. Go through the list of pay items and select both the Liable for Qualifying Earnings (QE) and Liable for Superannuation Guarantee (SG) columns for those that are included. 

  4. Click Save once you've marked them all as complete.

3. Review your superannuation processes

One of the biggest changes coming with Payday Super is the requirement to pay superannuation with each pay run, rather than quarterly. You also need to make sure payments reach accounts promptly, to avoid potential penalties.
