Settings for onboarding
Before you invite your first employee, you need to finalise some settings. You can edit your settings whenever you need to, like if you open a new location.
1. Set up onboarding defaults in MYOB Advanced Payroll
Onboarding defaults include settings like including calendar and pay group. Along with the information your employee will provide, these defaults are used to automatically create a detailed employee record in MYOB Advanced Payroll.
You can access the relevant screens for setting these defaults on the Workforce Management tab of the Payroll Preferences screen (MPPP1100).
Depending on how your site has been configured, there are two ways to set these defaults.
If employee profiles are enabled
In the Set Onboarding Defaults section, click Set Employee Profiles. This opens the relevant employee profiles configuration form – Employee Profile (MPPP2420) if no employee profiles have been set up yet, or Employee Profile List (MPPP2420) otherwise.
In the Set Onboarding Defaults section, click Set Onboarding Defaults. This opens the Employee Onboarding Preferences (MPAT1010) screen, where you can complete the mandatory fields.
2. Set up your MYOB Advanced Workforce Management site
Set up the requirements for onboarding:
Extra locations to tailor your onboarding experiences.
3. Customise the onboarding experience for your business
So you get the information you need, the first time, MYOB Advanced Employee Onboarding lets you customise onboarding flows that work for your business, and even for individual roles and locations within your business.
Enter personalised email invite messages into the Default footer text and Default invite optional message fields.

Onboarding process overview
The flowchart below shows who does what in the MYOB Advanced Employee Onboarding workflow.
1. Invite an employee and add them to Advanced Payroll
Once MYOB Advanced Onboarding is all set up, it only takes a few clicks to invite your new employees. To see what the process looks like for the employee, see How do I complete the onboarding process?
Go to Management > Employees and click Invite Employee to email an onboarding invite to your new hire:
If you want to personalise the invite email for the employee, add an Optional Message.
Select an Onboarding Flow to use one of your customised flows.
Keep track of new hires' progress from the Management > Employees screen.
Click Filter
Select Invited or Onboarding from the Show Only drop-box to show employees who haven't completed the process yet.
When new employees complete the onboarding forms they will be automatically added to MYOB Advanced Payroll.
2. Finish setting up the new employee in MYOB Advanced Payroll
Go to the Employee Onboarding Detail screen to check your new employees have been added to Advanced Payroll.
If any employee details weren't captured during the onboarding process, or they differ from the defaults on the Employee Onboarding Settings screen, add them on the Pay Details screen:
Standard pays
Tax offsets and variances
Holiday act settings (NZ)
STP reporting types where not WHM or Wage and Salary
Other pay groups
Notification and employment settings
Expense allocation
And on the Employees screen, add their employment history.
On the Outstanding Actions tab of the Pay Details form, check if there’s anything you missed. If you can’t see the tab, try clicking the >> icon to show more tabs. For example, in the following screenshot, the tab shows that a Kiwisaver pay item still needs to be created.
Once you're happy that the employee's details are all correct, go to the Pay Details screen and set their Onboarding Status to Onboarded.
If required, set the employee up for employee self-service, with an ESS user and an approval map.
Once the employee is all set up in MYOB Advanced Payroll, you're ready to start paying them!
