If you already have an Employment Hero Payroll business it is possible to migrate that business to Phoenix Payroll.

 

There are two stages in this process:

 

1. Request the Transfer from Employment Hero:

You will need to Provide written authorisation to AGDATA from a full access user/owner confirming they approve the transfer.  We will then provide our approval in writing to Employment Hero along with your written authorisation.  

 

2. Assigning the Payroll Business to your Phoenix Set of Books:

Launch Phoenix and open the Set of Books you wish to attach the Payroll Business to. Important: The Set of Books MUST have the same ABN as the Payroll Business.

Click the Payroll Button on your Phoenix Toolbar

You will be shown the following message:

4.Enter the details of the Authorised Officer for the Payroll Business and once you have read and agreed to the Terms & Conditions as well as the Privacy Policy, click Complete Transfer.

An email will then be sent to the contact person for the Payroll Business, the Administrator/s for the Payroll Business (if any) and the Primary Contact for the Phoenix subscription/company.  You will be shown the Security Code window:

Your existing Employment Hero Business comes across untouched, with all existing employees, pay runs, etc still available.
