Connecting Payroll to the Square integration – Your Payroll Australia

Important

This feature is only available for businesses on plus plans.

You can integrate your payroll file with Square to have your business locations, employee data and timesheet data imported to be used for pay-run processing.

Important

When importing timesheets from Square, employee and location data needs to exist and match the data from the timesheets being imported. It is therefore recommended that you use the Import Employees functionality to make sure matching employees and locations can be determined.
