You can use the payroll feature to:

set up records for each of your employees

pay your employees

keep track of how much you’ve paid your employees and how much you need to pay to the ATO (Australia) or IRD (New Zealand).

By answering a few questions about your employees, MYOB Essentials will automatically calculate how much PAYG (Australia) or PAYE (New Zealand) you need to withhold from your employees’ pay, along with other amounts such as superannuation (Australia) or KiwiSaver (New Zealand).

Do the following to pay your employees:

The Payroll area is where you pay your employees and keep track of their payroll information and other details. If you subscribe to MYOB Essentials with payroll, you can pay as many employees as you like. Otherwise, you can pay one employee (or yourself).

Before you can start doing pay runs, there are a few setup tasks you need to do:

  1. Choose your payroll settings. Decide which bank account you'll use to pay wages and select what information will be shown on payslips. See Set up payroll.
  2. Set up employees. Create a record for each of your employees and enter their personal, tax and pay information. Doing this correctly is important to ensure that PAYE and KiwiSaver (New Zealand) is calculated correctly. See Adding an employee.

Pay your team

When you've completed the payroll setup and entered your employees' information, you can start doing pay runs. The Pay centre is the place you set up and manage this.

When you're ready to pay your employees, you'll do a pay run. MYOB Essentials lets you fine tune for other details, such as entering leave, splitting pay between accounts or earnings or deductions like overtime or commission. 

Other available features include the ability to view individual employee pay history and options for managing their leave balances.
