The MYOB Exo Payroll Setup Cycle

Before you can enter any employee information and commence the preparation of your payroll, it is necessary to set up the payroll to handle your company's unique requirements. This requires not only setting the structure for your payroll(s), but also entering historical information, such as Gross Year to Date totals, annual leave entitlements etc.

Although some of this preparation may be handled by MYOB in the course of the installation and training, it is necessary for you, the user, to have an overview so that you may be better equipped to successfully understand your payroll system.

The Exo Payroll Setup Cycle

The Setup Cycle steps you through the process of setting up the various masterfiles that will be called on when pays are run. These masterfiles define the types of payments your staff may be eligible for during a pay.

The Setup Cycle opens automatically the first time you open a newly created company. From then on, the cycle can be accessed by selecting Setup Cycle from the Help menu.
