Xero Has Started Preparing for Payday Super
If you use Xero Payroll, you may have noticed new prompts and setup tasks appearing in your payroll file recently. These changes are part of Xero’s preparation for Payday Super, which is currently scheduled to commence from 1 July 2026. While the new requirements are still approaching, Xero has already started rolling out updates to help businesses prepare. As part of this process, employers may be asked to review payroll settings, earnings categories, leave categories, and employee super information.
What Should You Do?
Rather than rushing through the setup screens, we recommend taking some time to understand what the changes mean for your business and payroll processes.
To help employers prepare, Xero has released a short video explaining the new setup process and the areas that may require review.
The video covers:
- The new Payday Super setup experience
- Changes to payroll settings
- Reviewing earnings and leave categories
- Employee super information
- Steps businesses can take before 1 July 2026
Join a Xero Webinar
yn addition to the video, Xero is also hosting webinars to help employers understand the upcoming changes and what actions may be required.
These sessions provide an opportunity to hear directly from Xero and gain a better understanding of how Payday Super may affect your payroll processes.
We encourage businesses using Xero Payroll to take advantage of these resources and begin preparing early.
Although Payday Super does not commence until 1 July 2026, Xero has already started rolling out the tools and guidance businesses will need to prepare. Taking a few minutes to watch the video and attend a webinar can help you better understand the upcoming changes and ensure your payroll processes are ready well before the new requirements begin.
