Pay Super Day: How to Process Automatic Super Payments in Xero After Wages

Paying wages is only half the payroll job — the other half is getting your team's super into their funds on time and reconciled correctly. In this episode of The Trinity Business Podcast, we walk through "pay super day" in Xero: exactly what to do after you've processed wages to send super off using auto super.What we cover:- The setup that prevents headaches — registering for automatic super, adding employee funds, and the employee details (TFN, mobile, email, gender) that trip up most batches- Paying super straight from the pay run vs processing it separately- The authoriser and SMS approval flow — and how bookkeepers can prep a batch for an owner to approve- Marking accruals as paid when super was paid outside Xero (and how to fix it if you get it wrong)- The 0–7 business day processing timeline, what each status means, and why "Paid" doesn't always mean allocated yet- Reconciling the payment to your superannuation payable account so your books stay cleanWe also cover what Payday Super means for you: from 1 July, super needs to be processed at the same time as wages — so building the habit now keeps you ahead of the change.This episode is general information for Australian businesses using Xero Payroll, not personal advice.
