Ready to process your payroll? If you've added your employees and set up your payroll details, you're good to go.
Completing a pay run in MYOB Essentials is really easy. Simply choose the pay dates, which employees are being paid, and what they're being paid. You can print or email pay slips and, if you're set up for electronic payments, create a bank file to pay wages into your employees' bank accounts.
Save time by allowing your employees to submit their timesheet hours. Learn more about YourPay.

- Choose the dates and duration of the pay period. Dates must be within the current or previous payroll year.
- Select which employees to include in the pay run.
- Click in the Email
column to select which employees you want to email payslips to. You'll need to have entered their email addresses on the Employee details tab of their employee record to be able to email their payslip. - Click Start pay run (or Resume pay run if you're continuing a saved pay). The Pay run page appears, displaying a list of employees included in the pay run, along with a detailed view of the first employee’s pay.
- Check the employee’s pay details. If required, you can change the number of hours worked. Depending on the selections you made on the Pay items - earnings & deductions tab of the current employee’s record, you can add hours of overtime, bonus or commission amounts, or change the default amount of any earnings or deductions as required. If a pay type is not shown, make sure you’ve selected it on the Pay items - earnings & deductions tab of the employee’s record. See Set up pay items (earnings and deductions).
- (New Zealand) If the employee has taken leave or has worked on a public holiday and you want to include this in their pay, click Holidays & Leave, then select the type of leave and make any required changes to the calculations. For more information, see Entering leave and holiday pay on a pay run (New Zealand).
(Australia) If the employee has taken annual or personal leave, enter the number of hours of leave they have taken on the relevant line. Their available leave balance for each type is shown in the Hours column. Note that if an employee has taken leave, you might need to adjust the normal hours worked to make sure the total number of hours is correct. For more information about managing employees’ leave, see Managing your employees’ leave.
Changing the PAYG/PAYE tax
If you need to pay more or less tax for an employee, click on the employee's PAYG/PAYE amount in the grid and type the new amount. This must be the last change you make to the employee's pay in this pay run, as any additional changes will cause the PAYG/PAYE to be recalculated at the default rate. If this is an ongoing change to the employee's tax, you'll need to manually override the default amount each time you do a pay run.
- Once you’ve finished checking and editing the employee’s pay, click Next employee. A detailed view of the next employee’s pay appears.

For more information, see Paying your employees.
