Employees

Add an employee

AddAdd
  1. In the MYOB Team admin portal, click the Employees tab.

  2. Click Add employee. A list of employees from your MYOB software appears. If you need to add an employee to your MYOB software, see the help for AccountRight.

  4. Click Add employees.

You can now add approving managers and assign them employees as described below.

An approving manager is someone who can approve your employees' timesheets using the MYOB Team mobile app. If you have an employee, like a team leader, who needs to approve timesheets, add them as an approving manager in the MYOB Team admin portal. When you add an approving manager, you'll choose the location they're responsible for. The approving manager will then be sent an invitation to use the MYOB Team mobile app.

You may need to set up the approving manager as an employee

If you'd like to add an approving manager who is not currently an employee, like the business owner, a bookkeeper, or payroll officer, you'll need to set them up as an employee in MYOB Business (go to the Payroll menu > Create employee).

Just create a new employee record for them and enter their name and email address on the Contact details tab, and set their Employment basis to Other on the Payroll details Employment details tab.

You should also set their Pay basis to Hourly (Payment details > Salary and wages tab). If you don't want to include this person in pay runs, select Inactive employee in the Contact details tab.

If you don't have, or don't want to use, an existing employee, you can set up a dummy approving manager employee in MYOB Business. For example, just call them Approving Manager.

Setting up an Approving manager in MYOB Business

You can then add them as an employee in the MYOB Team admin portal as described above, then add them as an approving manager to a location.

  1. Click the Locations tab.

  2. Click a location.

Locations

Locations are your business's physical workplaces, departments or teams of employees. You'll choose a time capture type for each location, based on your business needs and how you want your employees to submit their hours.

Verifying attendance at a location

If your employees clock on and off using the MYOB Team mobile app or a tablet kiosk, you can use either geolocation or photo capture to reduce time theft and increase transparency around employee attendance. You can verify submitted geolocations and photos when approving timesheets.

AddAdd

    • Clock on, Clock off - tablet kiosk: for businesses with a fixed location(s) and an emphasis on capturing and proving attendance with high accuracy on a kiosk tablet

Employees

If you've added an employee in your MYOB software, you can invite them to use MYOB Team via the MYOB Team admin portal. Once they're added, you can edit the employee's name and email address in the MYOB Team admin portal. This won't update the employee's details in your MYOB software so you'll need to update the details there too.

Add an employee

AddAdd
  1. In the MYOB Team admin portal, click the Employees tab.

  2. Click Add employee. A list of employees from your MYOB software appears. If you need to add an employee to your MYOB software, see the help for MYOB Business.

  3. Select the employees you want to add to MYOB Team.

    If an employee you'd like to add can't be selected (their name is greyed out), you need to ensure the employee has a valid email address entered in your MYOB software.

  4. Click Add employees.

You can now add approving managers and assign them employees as described below.

Add approving managers

AddAdd

An approving manager is someone who can approve your employees' timesheets using the MYOB Team mobile app. If you have an employee, like a team leader, who needs to approve timesheets, add them as an approving manager in the MYOB Team admin portal. When you add an approving manager, you'll choose the location they're responsible for. The approving manager will then be sent an invitation to use the MYOB Team mobile app.

You may need to set up the approving manager as an employee

If you'd like to add an approving manager who is not currently an employee, like the business owner, a bookkeeper, or payroll officer, you'll need to set them up as an employee in MYOB Business (go to the Create menu > Employee).

Just create a new employee record for them and enter their name and email address on the Contact details tab, and set their Employment basis to Other on the Payroll details Employment details tab.

You should also set their Pay basis to Hourly (Payment details > Salary and wages tab). If you don't want to include this person in pay runs, select Inactive employee in the Contact details tab.

If you don't have, or don't want to use, an existing employee, you can set up a dummy approving manager employee in MYOB Business. For example, just call them Approving Manager.

Setting up an Approving manager in MYOB Business

You can then add them as an employee in the MYOB Team admin portal as described above, then add them as an approving manager to a location.

  1. Click the Locations tab.

  2. Click a location.

  3. From the Select an approving manager list, choose an employee.

When creating their account, employees must use the same email address as the one saved in their employee card in AccountRight.

Self-onboarding

When an employee first signs into the MYOB Team mobile app, they'll be prompted to enter any personal, tax and superannuation details that are missing from their employee record in your MYOB software. This eliminates paperwork, reduces your data entry, and simplifies your workflow.
