What to do now
- Talk to your payroll provider about system updates
- Review current payment cycles and cash flow forecasts
- Consider trialling monthly super payments to ease the shift
- Update any relevant internal policies
Small compliance issues can lead to big problems—underpayments, disputes, or penalties. An HR audit can help you stay ahead of risks and gives you peace of mind.
Actionable Tip
Treat 2025 as a “practice year” by shifting to more frequent payments ahead of the official deadline.
