Employee ID/Card ID

[LaniOUP]

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.
