How to keep payroll smooth and stress-free
Getting payroll wrong doesn’t just cause stress; it can have legal and financial consequences for your business.
At My Business Keeper, we’ve simplified the process into a practical 3-day timeline so your employees are paid correctly and on time, every time.
This short blog walks you through our key steps and explains what we need from you and when.
Day 1: Provide payroll details
Once the pay week ends, provide all relevant employee info to MBK. This includes:
Names and updated details (new starters or changes)
Employee type: full-time, part-time, or casual
Award coverage and level
Notes on overtime, time-in-lieu, or special instructions
Tip: Submitting this early sets the whole process up for success.
Day 2: Approve timesheets by 10am
By 10am on Day 2, ensure all timesheets are fully reviewed and approved. This is essential for MBK to process payroll on time.
If there are errors, delays, or public holidays, please let us know before 10am to prevent disruption.
Day 3: Payroll deposited
Once processed, employee pay hits their accounts, provided everything above was submitted on time. A single day’s delay can push payments back, so keeping to the checklist is critical.
