Quarterly timing still needs verification

SuperSure shows the current quarterly timing model as a practical planning aid, but the dates are still labeled as date-sensitive. Employers should verify the live ATO schedule whenever payroll timing changes or a new period begins.

This is especially important for businesses balancing standard quarterly obligations against upcoming rule changes.

Use timing guidance as a workflow trigger

A due date is most useful when it helps an employer ask the next operational question: has payroll closed, has the contribution file been sent, and is there any risk of paying late?

That is why the result view pairs timing guidance with a late-payment risk summary rather than presenting a naked date with no action context.
