Connecting HR to payroll has never had this much flexibility and control.

With Worknice now considered the leading ‘People OS’ platform, integration is a big part of our offering to bring to life workflows and automation.

When it comes to integrating your Myob AR payroll to your HRIS, we’ve worked hard to include four incredible new innovations that will solve your disparate data issues over night.

Why is connecting Worknice to Myob so powerful?

As the Luke Bryan song goes…  

Some things in life just go together. The song ‘knockin’ boots’ touches on many of them, but misses out on perhaps the most amazing pairings you will ever find – Myob and Worknice. In this article we run through the innovative features of the integration and how it works.

MYOB HRIS integration – connection control

Integrate at the employee level

Now this is a cool feature, people. Infact, so cool we didn’t even know what to call it – we haven’t seen it anywhere else in the HR management platform market. We were going to call it the ‘MYOB integrator 4000 Pro’, but in the end went with something a bit more boring, ‘integration connection control’. Ok enough of the hyping…

So what is it? Rather than connecting Worknice to Myob and syncing at the account level, now you can control how the integration works at the individual level. This offers all sorts of control as you start adding more diverse employee roles into your business, such as unpaid workers, contractors, etc. No longer is it a ‘sync everything, or sync nothing’ situation. Cool!

What is a connection within the Myob integration?

Connections are used to link records in Worknice with those in Myob at the employee level. For example, Jane bloggs in Worknice and Jane bloggs in Myob has its own unique connection.

Why is a unique connection for each person important?

It’s pretty simple – because now you can control each persons sync uniquely.  It offers you a new level of flexibility and control. You can treat the Jane Bloggs connection to Myob differently to a Mary Smith connection.

Imagine this. You decide to onboard Jane Bloggs as an unpaid employee into your business – for example she is a volunteer. Yep, we need to get her personal details like address, have her sign and acknowledge documents, and maybe upload a licence –  BUT we do not want to add Jane into Myob payroll (because she won’t be paid). By having Jane’s connection unique, we can tell Worknice not to create a record in payroll and ignore her in future syncs. Awesome!

What can you do with a unique connection?

There are two key ways that this will be typically used; to ignore connections in the recurring sync between Myob and Worknice, and to also connect employee records between the two systems that don’t have matching data – like email.

Myob integration – integrate multiple accounts

Pull all your people and data together by connecting to multiple Myob payroll accounts

So, if you use multiple Myob accounts you may be wondering; does Worknice allow me to connect multiple Myob payroll accounts into the one Worknice system? Well, the answer to that question is “yeah baby!”. Go berserk – why stop at just 3 like the screenshot above? We have seen as many as 5 connected in the short time this has been available. (P.S if you have many more than 5, maybe consider consolidating a little bit?)

The power of this feature is you can manage all your people in the one Worknice (HRIS) platform. Remember, the goal here is to create an incredible experience with all your people, data and apps connected together and this is an important step toward achieving this.

2-way sync

Keep data in sync no matter where it is being changed. Allow employees to update data self service via Worknice’s intuitive portal, or update direct to Myob and Worknice will sync.

All Myob connections operate 2-ways, Myob to Worknice, and Worknice to Myob.  This is really important for flexibility. By offering 2-way integration different teams can choose to work in the platform they feel comfortable with. For example, account’s teams (or accountant’s) like to work in Myob when they update payroll information or approve leave. So rather than forcing them to use Worknice, let them stay in Myob. It’ll save a huge amount of headache in the change management process.

Leave requests

Wish you could see leave requests in Myob rather than just leave balances? Utilise Worknice Leave requests to create, approve and manage organisation wide leave.
