Deputy partners with SuperAPI to streamline employee onboarding and help get shift-based industries ready for PayDay Super
Deputy, the global people platform for shift-based work, has announced a new partnership with SuperAPI, marking a major enhancement to its HR product suite. The integration will uplift the employee onboarding experience by providing shift workers across Australia opportunities to save fees by stapling their superannuation to previous accounts, and simplify the filing process for businesses, saving hours a week.
Through this partnership, Deputy will embed SuperAPI’s TFND and Superannuation steps directly into its HR workflow, allowing new employees to seamlessly select and retain their preferred super fund within the Deputy platform. This eliminates the need for repetitive account creation when starting a new job, helping workers avoid unnecessary fees and ensuring their retirement savings remain consolidated and protected.
According to ATO data from June 2025, 21% of working Australians have two or more superannuation accounts, often doubling the fees that are unnecessarily eating away at their retirement savings. This trend is often attributed to the challenges posed by employees in nominating their existing member accounts when changing jobs.
“This integration levels up Deputy’s HR offering in Australia, empowering shift workers with genuine choice and transparency around their existing superannuation fund(s) and the choices they can make – and saving hours for their employers by removing manual filing of super choices through clearing house software”, said Deepesh Banerji, Chief Product Officer at Deputy. “By embedding SuperAPI directly into the onboarding process, we’re simplifying compliance for employers and creating a smoother, more trustworthy experience for every new team member; a critical step in getting employers PayDay Super ready; accurate onboarding equals accurate and timely payroll.”
SuperAPI, an Australian-born regtech, is designed to be embedded within HR and payroll software to automate superannuation connectivity. It provides integrated access to all compliant super funds, ensuring businesses stay aligned with evolving regulatory standards such as the upcoming Payday Super requirements.
“SuperAPI exists to make superannuation compliance effortless — for employers and employees alike,” said Riley James, Co-founder and CEO at SuperAPI. "Partnering with Deputy means we can deliver this experience at scale to thousands of workplaces, helping shift workers keep control of their own financial future from their very first shift. Our vision of creating a more efficient administration process for every superannuation fund has become a reality, and our goal is for shift workers to benefit from the cost reductions in the form of lower fees over time. ”
The integration further positions Deputy as an industry leader in workforce technology for shift-based industries, including hospitality, retail, and healthcare. It enhances employee choice, streamlines compliance obligations, and accelerates worker onboarding through a more transparent, efficient experience.
