Payroll Survey Results
Payroll software survey results
Thank you to everyone who took part in our payroll experience survey.
Congratulations to Joanne from Atkinson & Booy Surveys, who won our $50 Bunnings voucher!
Xero and MYOB were the favourites, with 37% of respondents using Xero Payroll and 22% using MYOB products.
Smartly Payroll also featured, used by 15% of respondents.
Although the prize draw has now closed, the survey will remain available if you'd like to share your payroll preferences.
We’ll be showcasing Abtrac’s payroll links in future webinars
Did you know Abtrac links with Xero Payroll in both Australia and New Zealand, and MYOB Payroll in Australia? (MYOB doesn't offer this integration option in New Zealand.)
You can also use custom mapping and our CSV payroll export to extract timesheet data from Abtrac and import it into your payroll system.

Webinar: Productivity Reporting - from Work Done to Recoveries
Understanding How Productive Work Becomes Revenue
Productivity tells us how much chargeable work our team completes, but what happens next? In this webinar, we explore how Abtrac’s Productivity Analysis and Employee Work Done and Recoveries reports help you track productive work through to invoicing and payments received.
Ideal for Directors, Principals, Practice Managers and anyone responsible for business performance, this session uses real-world examples to show how comparing reports over several months can help identify billing delays, monitor recoveries and understand whether productive work is ultimately contributing to revenue.
In this session we'll cover:
Productivity Analysis – understanding what happens to productive work after it is completed
Tracking Work Over Time – comparing reporting periods to see whether work is progressing through the billing cycle
Employee Work Done and Recoveries – understanding fee value, fees invoiced and payments received
Using Productivity Data – identifying billing gaps and supporting better management decisions
Join Anytime
Our November webinar is a 15 minute session available on demand at any time.
Register below and we’ll send you the recording.
Project reporting
Track Project Delivery Performance at a Glance
From Home page reports, the Billable Job Delivery widget provides a calendar year-to-date summary of billable job activity: showing how many billable jobs have been started, completed, and how long completed jobs typically take to deliver.
This widget helps management monitor project delivery performance and identify trends in project duration over the current calendar year.
