MYOB payroll runs but journals are entered manually
MYOB processes payroll and lodges STP. But the accounting entries (wages, super, PAYG, leave provisions) still need to be created as journals in your main accounting system. Every pay run.

MYOB Payroll Integration
MYOB Payroll Integration Services
MYOB Payroll handles pay runs, STP and superannuation for thousands of Australian businesses. It does the payroll part well. What it does not do is connect seamlessly to your accounting system, rostering tool or job management platform.
We build custom MYOB Payroll integrations that close those gaps. Payroll journals post to Xero or AccountRight automatically. Timesheets from field systems push to payroll without re-entry. Labour costs are allocated to the jobs and cost centres where they belong.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We work with trades, professional services, hospitality and growing businesses across Australia, connecting MYOB Payroll to accounting, operations and reporting.

MYOB Payroll Integration Audit
15-minute scoping call. We map your MYOB Payroll setup (version, headcount, timesheet sources, accounting system), the systems you need it connected to, and the specific workflow gaps slowing your team down. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
-
Weeks 1–N
Build & Parallel-Run

-
Cutover
Go-Live & Handover
Production cutover aligned with your pay cycle — typically between pay runs. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Documentation and source code handed over in full.
Sound Familiar?
What MYOB Payroll users tell us
MYOB processes payroll. Getting payroll data into everything else? That is the problem.
Timesheet data from field systems does not reach payroll
Staff log time in job management, rostering or field service apps. That data needs to get into MYOB Payroll for processing. Currently it is an export, reformat, import exercise every pay cycle.
Super payments tracked manually
MYOB calculates super guarantee. But tracking payments to super funds, matching them to SG liabilities and reconciling quarterly. That requires a separate process someone does in a spreadsheet.
Leave balances do not match between systems
MYOB Payroll tracks leave accruals. Your rostering system tracks leave requests. The two rarely agree because they are not connected. Someone reconciles them at EOFY. Or they do not.
Labour costs allocated to one bucket
MYOB knows what you paid each employee. It does not know which job, project or cost centre the hours belong to. All labour shows up as one expense line. No visibility on where costs actually land.
STP is sorted but everything else is not connected
MYOB handles STP compliance well. Single Touch Payroll is lodged. But the day-to-day integration between payroll, accounting, rostering and job management? That is still manual.

What We Build
MYOB Payroll Integration Workflows
Journals, timesheets, leave and labour costs connected to accounting and reporting.
Payroll journals to accounting
MYOB Payroll journals posted to Xero, MYOB AccountRight or QuickBooks after each pay run. Wages, PAYG, super guarantee, salary sacrifice, leave provisions and net pay mapped to the correct accounts.
Works for businesses running MYOB Payroll standalone or alongside a different accounting system.
Timesheet aggregation for payroll
Hours from Deputy, simPRO, ServiceM8, Tradify or other field/roster systems consolidated and pushed to MYOB Payroll. Pay categories mapped. Overtime calculated. Allowances applied.
Award interpretation included where needed — penalty rates, split shift allowances, public holidays.
Labour cost by job and cost centre
Payroll expenses split based on timesheet data. Each dollar of labour allocated to the right job, project, department or location.
Job profitability calculated with actual labour costs, not estimates. Per-department overhead visible.
Leave balance synchronisation
MYOB Payroll leave accruals synced with rostering and HR systems. Leave requests approved in one system update balances everywhere.
Annual, personal, long service and parental leave types all supported. Balance discrepancies eliminated.
Payroll and workforce dashboards
MYOB Payroll data combined with accounting, rostering and job data in Power BI. Labour cost ratio. Revenue per head. Overtime trends. Super liability tracking.
The payroll metrics your accountant and operations manager both need.
Why Integrate MYOB Payroll
Payroll journals posted to Xero or MYOB AccountRight automatically
Every pay run generates the matching journal — wages expense, PAYG withholding, super liability, leave provisions, net pay. Each to the correct account and cost centre.
No manual journal entry. No month-end scramble to reconcile payroll with accounting.
Timesheets from field systems flow to MYOB Payroll
Hours logged in Deputy, simPRO, ServiceM8 or other field systems push directly to MYOB Payroll for processing. Correct pay categories, overtime and allowances mapped automatically.
No more manual timesheet consolidation before every pay run.
Labour costs allocated to jobs, projects and locations
Payroll costs split by job, project or cost centre based on timesheet data. Labour cost per job calculated. Per-department overhead visible. Multi-location labour costs tracked separately.
The visibility you need when labour is your biggest expense.
Leave balances synchronised across systems
MYOB Payroll leave accruals synced with Deputy, Employment Hero or other HR/rostering systems. One source of truth. No EOFY reconciliation needed.
Staff see accurate balances everywhere they check.
STP, super and reporting connected end to end
MYOB handles STP lodgement. We connect the surrounding processes — super payment tracking, quarterly BAS reconciliation, payroll tax calculations by state.
Compliance is not just lodging. It is making sure every number ties back across every system.

Case Study
Job-to-invoice automation that cut billing delay from days to minutes
A Perth services firm with five field crews was losing days between job sign-off and the accounting team raising the invoice. We connected the field-management tool to their accounting platform so invoices generate the moment a job is approved, with line items, GST and customer details all pre-mapped.
