MYOB Payroll is the payroll functionality built into the MYOB Business platform, covering pay run processing, STP Phase 2 reporting, superannuation management, and leave tracking for Australian businesses. It is available as part of MYOB's broader accounting and business management plans, or as a standalone Payroll Only plan for businesses that need payroll without the full accounting suite. MYOB has traditionally been strong on payroll, particularly for Australian businesses with complex award structures — its payroll handles STP Phase 2 reporting, leave calculations, super processing, and time billing natively.

■ Key Features

• STP Phase 2 & SuperStream: Payroll data — salary, wages, PAYG withholding, and super — reported automatically to the ATO each pay run. SuperStream-compliant super payments processed natively within MYOB Business.

• Award & pay item configuration: Configurable pay items covering ordinary time, overtime, allowances, deductions, leave loading, and termination payments with correct ATO reporting category mapping for STP compliance.

• Integrated accounting: Pay runs post directly to the MYOB general ledger, with payroll expenses appearing in profit & loss and BAS reports without manual journal entries.

• Employee self-service: Employees access payslips, lodge leave requests, and update personal details via the MYOB portal, reducing payroll admin queries.

• Standalone Payroll Only plan: MYOB offers a dedicated Payroll Only subscription supporting up to 4 employees, covering STP Phase 2, super processing, leave tracking, and employee self-service — without requiring a full accounting plan.
  
  

■ Who It's Best Suited For

• Australian SMEs already using MYOB Business for accounting that want payroll and accounts in the same platform

• Businesses with straightforward to moderately complex payroll — salaried staff, standard leave structures, and superannuation — who value MYOB's established local support network and ATO compliance track record

• Small employers (up to 4 employees) needing a standalone, low-cost payroll-only solution without a full accounting subscription
