You can currently export Deputy's out of the box pay rules to the following payroll systems:

• ADP Run
• Gusto
• MYOB AccountRight Live
• MYOB Desktop
• Xero

Applying pay rules from the pay rule library works in a similar way to entering the pay rule amount manually.

On the People page and click the name of the employee you would like to add the pay rule to.

Scroll down the menu on the left and select Employment, then click Edit:

Click on Pay Details and then the Pay rates drop-down menu for a full list of award rates.

You may also find it easier to find the award you need by typing the abbreviation of the award name in the search field.

Once you have selected the correct award, simply enter the employee's ordinary base rate and it will automatically populate the other fields.

Remember to click Save to apply the rates to the employee.

If you need to update multiple employees at once you can use the Bulk Action functionality in the People page.

When you export using our pay rules library, it is advised that you match the export code sent from Deputy to the matching pay item in the target payroll system ( ADP Run, Gusto, MYOB AR, MYOB, Xero). This allows you to re-use any pay items within your payroll system, avoiding any duplicate items.

Please remember to click Save when making any changes to the Export Code.

Note: there may also be limitations in your Payroll system as to what export code you can use. For example, in MYOB AR Live, the export code is limited to 31 characters. Check your payroll system for your specifications.

A note about decimal places in Deputy

When viewing costs, hours, and units in Deputy, you will see the numbers reflected with up to two decimal places. Please be aware that Deputy's software actually stores up to eight decimal places in the background, and uses all eight decimal places when performing calculations to achieve a highly accurate result.
