Getting Started with MYOB Exo Payroll

Before you get underway with setting up your MYOB Exo Payroll, we suggest that you take the time to familiarise yourself with the general structure and philosophies of the system.

This is best handled by working your way around the Demonstration Company that is installed with the package. This will help you learn how to move through the windows and understand better, the information needed to set up your own Payroll Company.

Start the Payroll Software by double-clicking on the Exo Employer Services icon on your desktop or click the Windows Start button and choose the program from Programs > MYOB Exo Employer Services.

The first thing you will see is the MYOB Login Screen with the Demonstration Company in the list of payrolls. Exo Payroll is a multi-company system (you can have unlimited additional payroll companies). Once you add your own Payroll Company, its name will appear in this list.

The Demonstration Company line will be highlighted. To open a company, either select a company and press enter or double-click on it. You must enter the logon details of a user account that has been set up in the Exo Payroll system.

The Demonstration Company has a default user called Admin. This user has the User Code "A" and the Password "Admin"
