why do I have to list myself as an employee to approve timesheets?

We have finally got Teams to work but we are a small business with only 3 employees. I cannot allocate a manager because that is me, but the only way i can allocate myself to sign off timesheets is to add myself as an employee. This seems a bit ridiculous, as it also means that i now have to pay extra for payroll for myself, even though i am not actually paid a salary because i am the business owner. Is this just another money making exercise for MYOB or is there a way for very small businesses to use Teams? 

 

Would love MYOB to use government definitions of small business so that having 3 employees doesn't tip you into the more expensive category with lots of "value add" analysis that is unneccessary so therefore no value (that's a different but related issue to being able to sign off paysheets)

    Hi JaneG360 

     

    Thank you for your post. It is one of the requirements on MYOB Team to have an approving manager listed under employees to be able to see and approved timesheets. Both employees and approving managers must be added to the approval hierarchy in the admin portal of a business to be able to log in to the mobile app. They both need to have an employee card set up as well as the approving manager.

     

    Since you will be added as approving manager, you'll need to add yourself as an employee just for the record. You don't need to worry about what will happen if you are going to do a a pay run, you can always deselect your name on the process of doing a pay run. You will just need to provide your basic details like name, email and contact number, some other details like payroll information are not necessarily needed unless you'll be paying yourself too.
