Cost centres | MYOB Payroll

As a business you can have multiple locations based in different suburbs or states; in these cases your organisation would have different employees employed in each location. Having a location register with a record of each address and the location hierarchy will allow you to maintain an accurate record of who works where within your organisation.

The Cost Centres feature allows you to create a list of cost centres that you can allocate against your employees. The feature also allows you to disable a cost centre if it is no longer in use, edit the data, and delete a record if it is no longer required.

Warning

Cost Centres do not sync over to MYOB Account Right, this means your organisation's payroll admin will need to enter this information manually into your MYOB Account Right platform.
