Setting up payroll
As a small business owner, paying your employees correctly is one of your most important responsibilities. To do this correctly and legally, you need payroll software. Although you can handle basic payroll manually, a payroll software such as QuickBooks Payroll powered by Employment Hero will allow you to handle things easily in-house.
Once you’ve signed up for QuickBooks, it’s time to get connected to QuickBooks Payroll. Below you will find a few easy steps to setting up your payroll, but first, it’s important to get a few details together. Make sure you have your:
- Company information (including ABN).
- Employee information (including TFN, superannuation and bank details).
