Purpose
The Payroll module allows you to record payments made to employees, track entitlements, and employer expenses such as PAYG. This data can then be used to prepare payslips, group certificates, and instalment activity statements.
It is really important that the payroll information be entered correctly because MYOB locks pay information once it is entered. This means that to change a payroll transaction you must delete the wrong transaction and then create a new transaction. The purpose of this function is to protect against people modify transactions after payslips have been entered but until you get used to the idea that mistakes cannot be easily fixed you may find this frustrating.
