Payroll News June 2026

Welcome to the June 2026 edition of JobBag Payroll News.

Happy end of financial year to everyone! As we prepare for EOFY, we have everything you need to know about the upcoming payroll changes, Payday Super, and the latest enhancements available in JobBag Payroll.

Payday Superannuation Has Arrived!

From 1 July 2026, Payday Super comes into effect.

Superannuation can no longer be paid quarterly. Super contributions must now be processed each time you pay employees, freelancers, or talent - whether you process payroll weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.

Super contributions must be received by the employee’s super fund within seven business days of the payment date.

What we have done

We have been working hard to enhance JobBag to support the Payday Super requirements:

✅ Updated STP reporting to include Qualified Earnings (QE)

Ensures compliant reporting aligned with ATO requirements.

Completed

✅ Improved the superannuation clearing house remittance file

Reduces errors and streamlines the super payment process.

Completed

We have successfully submitted our January–March superannuation payments to AustralianSuper, with contributions processed and received into employees’ super accounts within 48 hours.

✅ Updated how JobBag manages the Maximum Contribution Base (MCB)

Completed

✅ Added Qualified Earnings (QE) columns to reports and the STP window

Provides greater visibility and transparency when reviewing payroll data.

Completed

✅ Removed the requirement to report contractor and non-performing artist super payments through STP

Unless a voluntary PAYG agreement is in place.

Completed

✅ Added the ability to create and find superannuation payments from within the Superannuation Reconciliation window

Completed

✅ Prepared recommended Payday Super process help articles

Completed

Coming Soon

🔜 Fund Validation Service (FVS) and Member Verification Requests (MVR)

This will improve data accuracy by validating fund details and member information before superannuation submissions.

Key Processes

The following recommended processes will help you manage employee, freelancer, and talent payments under Payday Super:

• Recommended Pay run Process
• Recommended Freelancer Processes
• Recommended Talent - Performing Artist Process
• Recommended Talent - Non-Performing Artist Process
• Recommended Superannuation Reconciliation and Payment Process

Maximum Super Contribution Base (MCB) & Concessional Contribution Cap (CCC)

The Concessional Contribution Cap (CCC) is now configured annually and has been moved to the Australian Country Tax settings.

Navigation:

File > Configuration > Countries > Australia > Tax tab

This has already been configured in your JobBag data. JobBag will automatically update the CCC each financial year when new thresholds apply.

Once an employee reaches the Concessional Contribution Cap (CCC) threshold, superannuation calculations will stop.

For the 2026–2027 financial year:

• Maximum Super Contribution Base (MCB): $270,830 in earnings
• Concessional Contribution Cap (CCC): $32,500 in super contributions

Note: The MCB is no longer maintained within the employee employment record.

Super Guarantee Remains at 12% 2026/2027

Add New Employment Information start date 01 Jul 2026

A new Employment Info record will need to be added for each employee.

For employees with a Salary Package, review and adjust their salary package lines accordingly.

New Employee Tax & Super Details

New employees now complete the New Employment Form via myGov.

• They must provide a PDF copy to their employer.
• Instructions for employees: Completing the form using myGov

Employers can retrieve the employee’s tax and super info using the event ID directly in JobBag.

• Instructions for retrieving this info into JobBag

Note: The paper TFN form is only allowed for employees without internet or access to myGov.

Additional Employer Super Contributions (RESC)

We're excited to announce that Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions (RESC) for additional employer contributions are now fully supported in JobBag Payroll.

These are optional contributions made by the employer - on top of the standard Superannuation Guarantee (SGC). They’re typically agreed individually and do not affect an employee's gross income.

The new tax tables, including HELP debt changes, have been published.

You will see this prompt when logging in:

“There are tax tables available for download. Do you wish to download them now?”

• Payroll Menu > Update Tax Tables

Once updated, a JobBag notice will confirm the process is complete.
