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).

How do I migrate from another payroll software to MYOB?

There are two ways to move your data to MYOB.

Option 1: Manage your own move

See our helpful guides:

Option 2: Get help moving from Reckon, QuickBooks or Xero to MYOB

With the help of MMC Convert, our migration partner, you can have your data securely migrated from your current accounting software to MYOB. Plus, we'll cover the cost to migrate data from the current and previous financial year. Make the move.

How do I set up payroll in my MYOB?

Setting up payroll in your MYOB software is simple, and takes 3 easy steps:

  1. Set up payroll for your business – start by entering a few details about how payroll works in your business.

  2. Add employees – you'll need to set up each of your full-time, part-time and casual employees. You can invite employees to submit their own details.  
    If you've already paid an employee this payroll year using different software, you can enter the amounts you've already paid them.

  3. Set up reporting obligations – you're almost done. The last step is to set up Payday filing reports to ensure your information is reported correctly to the IR. And finally, you'll set up the Kiwisaver payments you'll contribute for your employees.

Is my data secure?

Yes. MYOB takes the security and protection of our customers’ data seriously. We use secure, encrypted channels for all communications between us and follow industry best practices including ISO 31000 Risk Management Standard.
