Case Study Background

Amanda has a business called Aly's Hair Saloon. Amanda has never used MYOB Business Payroll before but has created a trial and has been familiarising herself with the features over the past two weeks. Amanda is now ready to create a new business account and has hired you as a payroll administrator to help set it up.

Amanda has asked you to use MYOB Business as the new payroll software for her business. Previously pays had been processed manually using an Excel spreadsheet, which has been cumbersome and inaccurate. After you have created a new business account on MYOB, Amanda would like you to set up a payroll file and process the first 2 weeks pays.
Amanda has two staff - Mark who is on a salary and Joanna who works part time and is paid wages.
