Streamline Your Payroll: Seamless Integrations with MYOB Business & Employment Hero

Blog

August 4, 2025

In today's fast-paced security industry, efficiency is key. Every minute spent on manual data entry or reconciling discrepancies takes away from managing your operations and growing your business. That's why we're thrilled to announce Guardhouse's enhanced integrations with MYOB Business and Employment Hero, designed to revolutionize your payroll process.

The Challenge of Disconnected Systems

For many security companies, payroll can be a significant headache. Manually transferring timesheet data from your workforce management system to your accounting or payroll software isn't just time-consuming, it's also highly susceptible to errors. This can lead to:

  • Increased administrative burden: Your team spends valuable hours on data entry instead of strategic tasks.
  • Payroll inaccuracies: Manual input often results in mistakes, leading to overpayments, underpayments, and disgruntled staff.
  • Compliance risks: Errors in payroll can lead to non-compliance with award rates, tax regulations, and superannuation obligations.
  • Delayed reporting: Getting a clear financial picture becomes harder when data isn't flowing seamlessly.

Our Solution: Enhanced, Seamless Payroll Exports

Guardhouse's latest update directly addresses these challenges by offering new, sophisticated payroll export options specifically tailored for MYOB Business and Employment Hero. Located conveniently within the Paysheets > Export section of Guardhouse, these new reports ensure your approved timesheet data flows smoothly and accurately.

Here's what this means for you:

  • Direct Compatibility: Generate export files in the correct format (.txt for MYOB Business, .csv for both) that your payroll software can easily import.
  • Automated Accuracy: Reduce manual data entry and human error, leading to more precise payroll calculations and happier employees.
  • Time Savings: Drastically cut down the hours spent preparing payroll each period, freeing up your team for higher-value activities.
