Integrate super payments within a pay run

This feature introduces a seamless integration between pay runs and superannuation payments, reducing the steps required for our users to improve their superannuation compliance obligations. All eligible users (full admin users) can create super payments directly via the pay run screen, or as part of their pay run finalisation settings.

  • Pay Schedule/Pay run finalisation settings - users can now select to create a super payment as part of the pay run finalisation settings. Further details can be found in this article: Pay Schedules - Set Up.
  • Pay run finalisation - as part of the pay run finalisation process, users can now select to create a super payment immediately, or manually at a later date. Further details can be found in this article: Finalise a Pay Run.

Icon status guide

You can check the status of your super payment on the pay runs page by hovering over the super icon, located next to the date paid column.

Here is what the colours mean:

  • Grey: When the icon is grey, the super payment has not been submitted (Beam super payments) or marked as paid (Manual super payments).
  • Yellow: When the icon is yellow, the super payment has been submitted. This icon will only appear for users with Beam integration enabled.
  • Green: When the icon is green, the super payment has been received (Beam super payments) or marked as paid (Manual super payments).
  • Red: When the icon is red, the super payment has failed, or there may be an error or return to your super payment. This icon will only appear for users with Beam integration enabled.
Additional costs for processing super batches more than once per quarter
Super batches processed more than once per quarter (per employee) will attract an additional cost of $0.25 per employee for each subsequent batch. This feature has been introduced in preparation for the ATO’s changes to Super in 2027. Please note that our current billing setup only includes one Super batch per quarter free of charge.
