Employee ID/Card ID

Hello

Can you please explain to me the difference between a Card ID and an Employee ID in MYOB?

Can you edit both/either? 

We are bringing payroll inhouse after having used an external payroll provider for years.  Should I be using the number that the external provider used in either of these?  

There has been no STP attached to any employees to date. 

Thanks

Lani

    Hi LaniOUP, the card ID is a field on all cards, and requires a unique value for each card, so for employee cards it is an ideal place for the employee ID from your external payroll records. 

     

    STP set-up only requires the employee first and last names, their address (including city, state and postcode) and tax file number (as per this help topic). Note that State is selected from a drop-down list and not typed.
