A better way to manage payroll
Payroll gets harder when employee details, pay runs and reporting tasks are managed in different places. MYOB helps small businesses keep payroll more organised, from regular pay runs to reporting requirements.

From scattered payroll admin to a clearer pay run process
Payroll details can quickly end up across spreadsheets, emails and separate records, making each pay run harder to check.
Good payroll management makes employee details, pay, leave and tax information easier to prepare, review and keep up to date.

How MYOB makes payroll easier
MYOB helps small businesses manage payroll alongside business accounting, with tools to support pay runs, payroll records and Payday filing reporting where available.

All your questions answered about MYOB cloud payroll software:
How does Payday filing work?
Payday filing is the system used by New Zealand employers to report employee payment information to Inland Revenue (IR). Instead of filing a single monthly schedule, you provide details every time you pay your staff.
MYOB streamlines Payday filing by automating the calculation and submission of required data directly from your payroll workflow to Inland Revenue (IR).

MYOB is for businesses that want payroll and accounting software that’s straightforward to manage and flexible as they grow.
