MYOB Advanced Payroll (formerly known as MYOB Advanced People) and Workforce Management is a modern, cloud-based payroll and HR solution. It can be run as a standalone platform or integrated as an MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Business module.

What is MYOB Advanced Payroll (People)

MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Payroll (People) is the payroll module of choice for more complex Australian and New Zealand businesses. It is fully integrated with MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Business to keep all your data up to date in one place and in real time.

MYOB Advanced Payroll (People) is built on the platform of the world’s fastest-growing ERP system – Acumatica. In addition, MYOB has added their own local expertise so that you can leverage this powerful, purpose-built payroll solution for your business. As it is cloud-based, you have access to your data anywhere and at any time. MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Payroll (People) is designed to be flexible and customisable so that it can meet your needs now, without holding you back in the future.

MYOB Advanced Payroll (People) Cloud Solutions are STP compliant.

Like all of MYOB’s payroll and HR software, MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Payroll (People) is Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliant. By enabling STP, salaries and wages, PAYG and superannuation information is reported directly to the ATO at the time of each payday and this saves time at the End of the Financial year. It is no longer necessary to provide PAYG Payment Summaries; the information will already be available for your staff through myGov. Overall, this reduces the number of interactions with the ATO as well as the manual duplication of data.

As part of an April rollout, MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) Payroll is Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 compliant. Learn more about the changes to STP and how MYOB Advanced Payroll puts you ahead of the pack when it comes to payroll compliance.
