    MYOB Timesheet App: What It Is, What It Does, and Where It Stops

    MYOB's timesheet app is MYOB Team. It is a solid way to get hours into a pay run — but if your hours are also your invoice, your compliance record and your job margin, that is a different tool.

    Is there a MYOB timesheet app?

    Yes — it is called MYOB Team. It is MYOB's employee self-service mobile app for rosters, clock-on and clock-off, timesheet submission, leave and payslips. Managers approve hours in the app or the MYOB Team admin portal, and approved hours flow into the MYOB pay run.

    • Best for: small businesses already on MYOB payroll with shift-based staff at fixed locations.
    • Where it stops: job costing, cost codes, plant hours, ticket and induction gating, client-verified dockets and turning hours into invoices or progress claims.
    • Better fit for contractors: SprintSuite captures time once against the job, enforces site compliance, costs the work live, and produces both the claim and the payroll hours — built for Australian mining, engineering and heavy-industry contractors.

    What is MYOB Team?

    MYOB Team is the app that sits in front of MYOB Business payroll. Employees use it on their own phone, or on a shared device set up at a location, to clock on and off and submit their hours. Approving managers review and approve those hours, and the approved timesheets feed the pay run instead of someone typing a paper sheet into payroll on Friday afternoon.

    It also handles the surrounding employee admin — rosters and upcoming shifts, leave requests, payslip access, and new-starter onboarding details flowing back into MYOB. You can read the current feature set and setup steps on MYOB's own MYOB Team page and its getting started support guide . Plan inclusions change, so confirm what your subscription covers with MYOB directly.

    What MYOB Team does well

    Employees clock on and off from their phone, or from a shared tablet set up as a kiosk at a location.
    Timesheet hours are submitted to an approving manager rather than handed in on paper.
    Approving managers review, adjust and approve hours in the app or the MYOB Team admin portal.
    Approved hours flow into the MYOB pay run, so payroll is not re-keying the same numbers.
    Rosters and shifts can be distributed to staff, with employees seeing upcoming shifts.
    Employees can view payslips, apply for leave, and new starters can submit onboarding details.
    Multiple locations can be managed, with permissions for employee, approving manager and admin.

    Where a payroll timesheet app stops

    None of the following is a flaw in MYOB Team — it is simply a different problem. A payroll timesheet app answers "what do we pay?". Contractors also have to answer "what did that job cost, what can we bill, and was that worker even allowed on site?".

    Payroll is the destination, not job cost

    MYOB Team exists to get accurate hours into the pay run. It is not built to allocate every hour to a job, task, cost code, asset or client and report margin on that job.

    Locations, not jobs

    Time is organised around locations and shifts. Contracting crews move between multiple jobs, shutdowns and clients in a single day, and each of those movements needs its own cost allocation.

    No ticket or induction gating

    A timesheet app does not know whether a worker's HV authorisation, site induction or medical has expired. Nothing stops an uncompliant worker being rostered and clocking on.

    No plant or equipment hours

    Excavator, EWP, crane, welder and test-set hours are a real cost and often a billable line. They do not belong in a payroll timesheet app.

    No client-verified hours or dockets

    Mine sites and Tier-1 principals commonly want signed dockets before they pay. Approval for payroll is not the same record as sign-off for invoicing.

    No path to the invoice

    Once hours are approved for pay, the billing question starts again in a spreadsheet: which hours were billable, at what rate, against which purchase order.

    Capabilities are summarised from each vendor's published documentation as at September 2026. Confirm current inclusions with the provider before you buy.

    When the SprintSuite app is the right choice

    Crews move between jobs, clients and sites in the same shift, and each movement changes what you can bill.
    You run shutdowns, breakdowns or T&M work where hours are the invoice.
    Site access depends on tickets, inductions, medicals and competencies that expire.
    You need to know a job's margin while it is still open, not four weeks after it closed.
    Plant and equipment hours are billable, or at least need costing against the job.
    Clients require signed dockets or verified hours before they will pay a claim.
    Workers are on swing rosters, 12-hour shifts and travel days rather than a Monday-to-Friday week.
    Crews work in pits, underground or remote workshops with no reliable mobile coverage.

    When MYOB Team is enough

    Being honest about this matters. If the following describes your business, MYOB Team will do the job and a contractor platform is more than you need today.

    Your staff work set shifts at one or two fixed locations.
    You are already on MYOB payroll and simply want to stop chasing paper timesheets.
    You do not bill clients based on labour hours.
    Job-level profitability is not something you manage week to week.
    A single approving manager can review everyone's hours.

    What mining and heavy industry actually demands

    Offline clock-on

    Time, breaks, job allocation and photos capture on the device and sync when coverage returns. A cloud-only timesheet app is unusable at the bottom of a pit.

    Compliance that blocks, not warns

    Expired HV authorisation, confined space ticket, site induction or medical prevents scheduling and clock-on — not an email nobody opens.

    Award interpretation on real rosters

    Penalties, allowances, RDOs, night shift and travel calculated on swing patterns, then exported to payroll without a manual rebuild.

    One number for pay and billing

    The hour a worker clocked is the hour you cost, the hour you claim and the hour you pay. No reconciliation meeting.

    Keeping MYOB as your ledger

    Switching timesheets does not mean switching accountants. Plenty of contractors keep MYOB or Xero as the financial ledger and run operations — jobs, crews, compliance, timesheets, costing and claims — in SprintSuite, with hours and invoices flowing through to finance. See how that works on our MYOB EXO alternative and Xero integration pages.

    Compliance behind every timesheet

    Whatever you use, the obligations are the same. Record-keeping and award entitlements are set out by the Fair Work Ombudsman , reporting by ATO Single Touch Payroll , and fatigue and shift risk by Safe Work Australia .
