Payroll & Integrations FAQs
- Most modern rostering systems offer direct integration with Xero and MYOB. Approved timesheets export automatically with the correct pay rates, overtime, and allowances already calculated, eliminating manual data entry.
- Common causes include incorrect award interpretation, manual timesheet entry mistakes, missed penalty rates, and outdated pay rate tables. Using integrated systems with automatic award calculations reduces these errors significantly.
- Reconcile each pay run before processing. Check total hours against rosters, verify penalty rates applied correctly, and review any manual adjustments. Monthly reconciliation of leave balances and superannuation is also recommended.
