Awards

Currently Available (as of May 31, 2019):

If the award you are looking for is not in our system, feel free to send it in via our Deputy Awards Suggestion Form.

Connecting your MYOB account

First, you will need to connect to your MYOB account.

Read Connecting New Integrations for an introduction to connecting to third party systems.

After you have selected MYOB you will be asked to enter your credentials to connect to MYOB.

Apply Pay Rate Library Rates/MYOB Award Interpretation

To apply the Pay Rate Library rates to your employees, simply click 'Edit Profile' for the employee you would like to change.

Now scroll down to 'Pay Rates' and select the desired award. Enter in the base rate and our multipliers will work out the other pay conditions necessary.

Click 'Save' when you are done.

Approving and Exporting Pay Rate Library Rates

Note: If you previously used the 'Standard' pay rates as offered by Deputy, and you would like to apply the new Award rates to employees, you will need to unapprove and reapprove any timesheets that are affected.

When approving timesheets, check the Pay Rates section to see if the correct rate has been applied to the employee. In this case, the 'GRIA - PT - SW - Baking Prod - M-F - Ordinary' rate has been applied to this employee.

When exporting, you will see the Pay Rate appear in the employee's timesheet. Here you can edit the Export Code as well.

Please ensure that the EXPORT CODE is 31 CHARACTERS or LESS. Errors will occur if the export code is 32 characters and above.

The error message above will appear if the export code exceeds 31 characters.

When you export your timesheet, select 'MYOB AccountRight Live (Cloud Export). You can also see links to relevant help docs in the export modal. Click 'Export' when you are finished.

We've added a new 'Export Progress' bar that will assist in giving a visual indication of the time left for timesheet export.

The following is the MYOB AccountRight Live interface.

In the above screenshots, the GRIA award rate was exported to 'Alan Long'. When searching for an employee's pay rates in MYOB after export, you will see the award in their wage list.

After confirming the correct export code (as edited in Deputy), you can Process Payroll in MYOB. When Processing Payroll, you can confirm the application of the award rate when you click 'Preview Pay Details'.

From here, Process Payroll as per usual.

Pay Rate Library

Deputy currently pushes our Pay Rate Library to MYOB. Any pay rules attached to an employee will be pushed to the employee within MYOB.

In the screenshot above, the wage rules will populate with the rules exported from Deputy.

In the screenshot below, you can see that we can apply these specific wage rules to employees within MYOB.
