What is the new Employer Portal?
legalsuper's new Employer Portal is an integrated clearing house and self-service administration platform, provided by Wrkr, designed to help you meet your super obligations.
It replaces the current SCH Online and EmployerAccess platforms and brings together everything you need to manage super contributions in one place — with a modern interface, real-time validation and support for the upcoming Payday Super legislation.
Getting ready for Payday Super
Under the Payday Super legislation, effective 1 July 2026, employee super payments will need to align with each pay run. The new Employer Portal is built to support this change, with real-time data entry checks, automated alerts and clear reporting across single or multiple ABNs.
Transitioning to the new portal ahead of this date means your business will be ready when the legislation takes effect.
Key features
Single login for all super compliance admin
Simple, user-friendly interface
Real-time validation and status tracking
Secure MFA sign-in
Digital employee onboarding, including super stapling
Multi-entity switching for multiple ABNs
Smart alerts and in-platform guidance
Bulk contribution file upload with reusable templates
Built for Payday Super
What happens to the current system?
SCH Online and EmployerAccess will remain available throughout the transition period. Key dates for when these platforms move to read-only mode and eventually close will be communicated to employers in due course.
We recommend downloading any historical contribution reports you may need from SCH Online or EmployerAccess for your records before the transition is complete.
What do I need to do right now?
Keep an eye on your emails. Registrations are being rolled out in stages, so you'll receive a personal invitation to begin your Employer Portal registration when it's your turn. This staged approach gives you time to prepare before your registration window opens.
In the meantime:
- Check that your details in SCH Online and EmployerAccess are up to date
- Make sure each user who will need portal access has their own individual email address, as shared mailboxes won't be supported
Resources
To help you prepare for the transition, we've put together the following resources.
We recommended downloading and sharing them with anyone in your organisation who manages super contributions.
Frequently asked questions
The current SCH Online and EmployerAccess platforms will not be updated to meet the requirements of the new Payday Super legislation, which requires contributions to align with each pay run from 1 July 2026. The new Employer Portal ensures legalsuper employers have a compliant, future-ready platform ahead of that deadline.
The new Employer Portal supports the industry-standard SAFF file format, which most payroll and HR systems produce. If your system uses a different format, the portal includes a file mapping tool that translates your file into the required format and saves the settings for next time.
No. Employers who use contribution files can import their next file directly — all employee records will populate automatically. Employers who use the manual grid will have the option to import existing employee data. The aim is to minimise re-entry and reduce errors.
Yes. MFA is required for all users and can be set up via the Google Authenticator app or a one-time code sent to your mobile. A personal device can be used if a work device isn't available.
Yes. The new Employer Portal supports multi-entity switching, so you can manage contributions for multiple ABNs under a single login.
The platform uses industry-standard security protections including TLS 1.3+ encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for stored data. Access is strictly controlled to authorised personnel only.
No. legalsuper will not use employer portal data to approach members of other super funds. This would be contrary to the Privacy Act. Our focus is solely on supporting employers with their contribution and compliance obligations.
Business owners, bookkeepers and payroll service providers who manage super contributions on behalf of an employer.
Yes. Employers will still be able to make manual contributions on a fortnightly basis. The platform accounts for employers who do not use file uploads and allows manual entry for creating new members, updating details of SMSFs and contributions.
Similar to SCH Online, employers will still have the option to download a file extract (SAFF or custom) from their payroll system to automate most of these processes.
Transitioning to the New Employer Portal
Registrations are being rolled out in stages. You'll receive a personal invitation by email when your registration window opens. Once you receive your invitation, follow the link to set up your account.
We aim to minimise disruption. There is no planned downtime for clearing house services. We'll communicate any scheduled maintenance in advance.
Yes. Where possible, your existing details from SCH Online will be used to pre-fill your new account, making setup faster and reducing the risk of data entry errors.
Once you activate your new account, SCH Online moves to read-only mode. You won't be able to make changes or new contributions, but you can still access your contribution history. Read-only access will remain available for approximately 12 months. We recommend downloading any reports you need for your records before this period ends.
Log in to SCH Online, go to Contribution within the top navigation menu, select Completed Contributions, then filter and download as needed. We recommend doing this before completing your transition.
You'll have read-only access to SCH Online for approximately 12 months after activating your new Employer Portal account. After this period, SCH Online will no longer be accessible. We recommend downloading any reports needed for recordkeeping as part of your transition.
No. SCH Online will move to read-only mode during 2026 (date to be confirmed) and will be fully retired after the 12-month access period. You'll need to use the new Employer Portal for all future contributions.
If you choose not to activate your account, you can make alternative clearing house arrangements. Any data prepared for your account will be securely deleted after the transition program ends.
Data Transfer
We'll securely collect your information from SCH Online and core administrator systems. This data will be used to pre-fill your new Employer Portal account, so setup is faster and more accurate.
When activating your account, you'll be asked to review and confirm your details. Most fields can be edited at this stage. You should also review user access, remove any outdated users, and send invitations to the right people. To prepare, we recommend reviewing your SCH Online details now to make sure everything is accurate.
If you choose not to activate your account, any data prepared for your registration will be securely deleted after the transition program ends. SCH Online and EmployerAccess will retain your historical data in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
No. legalsuper will not use employer portal data to approach members of other super funds. This would be contrary to the Privacy Act. Our focus is solely on supporting employers with their contribution and compliance obligations.
Security
Yes. MFA is required for all users and provides enhanced security for your account. You can authenticate via the Google Authenticator app or a one-time code sent to your mobile phone. A personal device can be used if a work device isn't available.
No. You must take a clear photo of the original physical document. Photos of copies will not be accepted.
The platform uses industry-standard security protections including TLS 1.3+ encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for stored data. Access is strictly controlled to authorised personnel only.
