Why are a worker's hours merged or split in MYOB?
MYOB groups hours by worker, day, payroll category and job:
- Same day, same pay item, same job: the hours are merged into one entry.
- Same day, same pay item, different jobs: the hours stay as separate entries, one for each job.
This is expected. It lets a worker have more than one base hourly entry on the same day when they worked on more than one project.
Example
On 14 October, Tom works at two sites, all at the Base Hourly pay item:
| Timesheet | Hours | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Morning at Harbour Apartments | 4 | HA102 |
| Afternoon at Harbour Apartments | 2 | HA102 |
| Late shift at Riverside Tower | 3 | RT205 |
After import, MYOB shows two entries for Tom on 14 October:
- HA102: 6 hours (the two Harbour Apartments lines merged)
- RT205: 3 hours
