## Setting up the MYOB Payroll Categories

 

Before you can begin the timesheet process. The organisation’s MYOB Payroll Categories will need to be entered into CareMaster. The Payroll Categories are matched by name when importing timesheets into MYOB.

 

Please note, the Payroll Categories must be entered manually into CareMaster, identical to how they appear in MYOB. Currently MYOB does not have the function to export the categories.

 

To add the Payroll Categories, in CareMaster go to menu Admin > MYOB > Payroll Categories

 

Click on the New Payroll Category button.
