Resources and tips for small business owners and employers.

Stuart and Belinda Griffin milk 500 cows in Wesbury, Victoria. They employ five staff and need a payroll that is accurate, timely, and efficient. In September 2025, Stuart and Belinda became the first customers to use PaySauce in Australia. Before PaySauce they'd been using three different systems to run their payroll. Taking around an hour and a half to complete, it either took them away from family time, or was left too late in the evening. Now they're gaining time back in their day and peace of mind that everything is taken care of. Here's what they have to say: "PaySauce is fantastic. To be a one-stop shop, that one-click payroll, that does our staff pay, pays our PAYG, pays our super, makes sure that we're compliant. And it's just going to be so simple."

This is the final post in the series, and it’s all about making the Payday Super transition virtually invisible. We share what "being ready" actually looks like, a system where payroll runs smoothly, super is calculated automatically, and compliance happens in the background. Discover the practical next steps you can take now to simplify your processes and make this change an opportunity to streamline your farm's payroll, not complicate it. The goal: barely notice the change.

Is Payday Super going to affect your farm's cash flow? This blog addresses that common concern honestly and practically. We break down what's actually changing, it’s the timing of payments, not the total annual amount, and reveal why smaller, more frequent super payments can actually lead to improved budgeting and visibility for many farms. Get practical tips on aligning pay cycles and using payroll reporting to forecast costs, so you can stop worrying about quarterly "bill shock" and manage the transition with confidence.

This is the essential post on readiness. It cuts through the jargon by translating the ATO’s Payday Super guidance into a plain-English checklist built specifically for dairy farmers under the Pastoral Award. Use it to quickly and confidently assess your farm’s current payroll setup, system readiness, cash flow considerations, and overall compliance confidence well before the July 2026 deadline. Don't guess - get clarity.

We dig into the practical shift the new legislation brings. The biggest change isn't the total amount of super you pay, but the timing. This post walks you through the new pay-run process, where super is calculated and paid instantly with wages, and highlights the common risk points for dairy farms, emphasising the need for accurate systems to handle variable hours and award compliance.

I break down what Payday Super actually is, it means superannuation must be paid at the same time as wages (weekly or fortnightly), not quarterly. The legislation is expected to commence on 1 July 2026. I also explain why this change is particularly important for dairy farms like yours, focusing on the complexities of payroll, such as variable hours, casual staff, and the Pastoral Award.
