Payroll exports

Authorised accounts can use the Payroll Export page to prepare approved hours and configured costs for their accountant or payroll process.

Prepare an export

  1. Open Payroll Export and check the active organisation.
  2. Select the pay-period start and end dates, or use a date preset.
  3. Review the preview, employee totals, and any pending-timesheet warning. Pending timesheets are excluded from the export.
  4. Choose the required format and select its Download button.

Available formats

  • Payroll Summary (.csv): totals per employee for manual entry or accountant handoff.
  • Xero Reference Export (.csv): a per-day breakdown for reference alongside a Xero pay run. It is not a direct Xero timesheet import.
  • MYOB Direct Import (.txt): tab-delimited timesheet data for MYOB AccountRight.

Check configured rates, penalty loadings, and the preview before processing payroll. These exports do not submit a pay run or Single Touch Payroll report to the ATO.
