Zepto welcomes the federal government’s Payday Tremendous coverage passing laws. This is a crucial reform that can remodel how Australia pays superannuation; linking contributions to every pay cycle means cash hits staff’ accounts sooner, compounds for longer and reduces unpaid tremendous.
However to ship these advantages at scale, implementation have to be sensible and sequenced throughout all individuals within the tremendous contribution provide chain: the ATO, funds, gateways and payroll suppliers. Information high quality and validation can even be essential to the success of Payday Tremendous: authorities must put money into upfront information companies that help employers to get it proper the primary time.

Encouragingly, Zepto’s first real-time superannuation fee was efficiently processed in 2023 — proving the aptitude already exists when innovation and regulation align. The main target now have to be on scaling that functionality safely, reliably and inclusively so each employer and worker advantages. Zepto stands able to work with payroll and tremendous suppliers to show Payday Tremendous from compliance strain into higher fee experiences for each Australian enterprise.”
