Bulk Pay Rate Updater for MYOB and XERO: A Game-Changer for Award Compliance!

If you’ve ever updated Pay Items in MYOB or Xero under an industry award, you’ll know: it’s tedious, manual, and full of room for error. One of our clients — managing a franchise group with 20 MYOB files for SCHADS - covered employees — felt this pain firsthand.

With hundreds and hundreds of pay classifications, entitlements, and loadings to update due to an award change, the expected effort was staggering:

🔸 3 full-time staff

🔸 4 days

🔸 No import/export features in MYOB or Xero payroll

But at 1More Time, we don’t believe in wasted time.

Within hours of hearing the issue, our team had a draft 1-page app in place. By the next day, it was fully operational. Here’s how it worked:

Step 1: The client downloaded current Pay Items to a CSV

Step 2: Updated the pay rates in bulk using spreadsheet tools

Step 3: Uploaded the CSV to our app, which validated and synced the updates across all 20 files

The entire task — previously requiring 96 hours of staff time — was reduced to just 5 hours.

And because the SCHADS award is subject to frequent changes, the client can now repeat the update process with ease — no external consultants, no data entry marathon.

The best part?

We’ve added this feature as a bonus to all custom app clients of 1More Time.
