Suitable for social posts, newsletters, articles, or voiceover.

How to use

  • Use as standalone quotes, or drop one into the caption under an image.

  • For journalists: these can be used verbatim as contextual quotes.

  • For presenters: use the “short grabs” as 10–15 second reads.

Quotable lines:

  • Payday Super is a timing change — the obligation isn’t new, but the margin for error gets smaller.

  • The biggest risk for small business isn’t intent — it’s process: rejected payments, missing fund details, and exceptions no one catches.

  • If your payroll is tight today, Payday Super will reward businesses that systemise, automate, and reconcile early.

  • “We’ll fix it next quarter” won’t work — under Payday Super, issues need to be caught and corrected in days, not months.

  • The practical win is transparency: when super is paid with wages, employees can see problems sooner — and so can employers.

  • Getting ready is mostly boring admin: confirm your pay inputs, validate fund details, and set an internal cut-off before payday.

  • A clean exception process is the difference between “we missed it” and “we corrected it immediately”.

  • The businesses that struggle won’t be the ones trying to do the wrong thing — they’ll be the ones relying on manual steps and memory.

  • Cashflow planning matters more than ever: the same super is paid, just more frequently, so budgeting needs to match your pay cycle.

  • The easiest early win is data hygiene: correct employee fund details reduce bounce-backs and rework.

  • Treat super like payroll, not a quarterly admin task — build it into the same discipline and cadence.

  • Payday Super will lift standards, but the transition will expose weak payroll-to-super workflows unless businesses fix them now.
