The calendar skips weekends and national public holidays, the days gazetted in every state. A state-only holiday inside the window pushes the real deadline later, never earlier, so the date shown is never later than the actual deadline.
From 1 July 2026, employer Super Guarantee contributions must be received by the employee's fund within seven business days of each payday. Every pay run carries its own window, replacing the old quarterly due dates. Received means in the fund's account; a payment sent on time but landing late still misses. The checker counts the window day by day, skipping weekends and national public holidays, so a payday before Easter or Christmas gets the later date it actually has.
SevenDay (M3) is live for exactly this window, pacing contributions payday by payday across the year. See the modules or start SevenDay. Related reading: the seven-business-day rule with a worked example, and the two ways Payday Super bites an SMSF.
