Under Payday Super, super must reach your employee's fund within 7 business days after payday, counting payday as day 0. The first payment to a new employee or a new fund gets 20 business days. Business days skip weekends and any public holiday that covers a whole state or territory, wherever you are. The ATO's own examples are below.
