Payday Super: Is Your Payroll System Ready?

Payday Super is coming, and it could expose weak payroll and time tracking systems fast. In this episode, Steve and Levon discuss why clean timesheets, accurate clock-ins, and stronger payroll processes matter more than ever. BundyPlus helps Australian businesses capture accurate time and attendance data through smarter clocking options, automated timesheets, payroll integrations, audit trails, and cleaner reporting. When payroll deadlines get tighter, better time data can help reduce manual fixes, missed clock-ins, and pay run stress. In this episode, we cover how Payday Super changes the rhythm of payroll, why manual timesheets can create pressure, and how issues like missing clock-ins, incorrect overtime rules, and late approvals can flow downstream into payroll and superannuation. The conversation also touches on audit risks, business readiness, and why ignoring the change could create bigger problems later.
