Edit a payroll employee

Your employee list comprises of the payroll recipients you have saved to your ANZ Internet Banking. When making payroll payments you can select previously saved recipients from your employee list and avoid filling in their details each time.

Editing an employee from your list is easy.

How do I edit a payroll employee?

  • Go to the "Payments" menu.
  • Select "Pay employees".
  • Select "Update employee list" and follow the steps below.

Alternatively you can:

  • Go to either the "Settings" menu or the “Payments” menu.
  • Select "My Payroll Employee list" and follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Select the “Edit” button next to the employee you wish to edit

Step 2 - Make your updates and click "Save details"

You can update the BSB number (financial institution number), account number, employee name or the reference/salary number for the employee.

When you are happy with your edits click "Save details".

Your employee details will then be updated.

Why can't I edit my employee?

You cannot edit an employee if there is a future or recurring payment scheduled for that person.

You must first cancel any pending future or recurring payments.

If you wish to delete a future dated or recurring payment, the request must be lodged with ANZ Internet Banking prior to 11.59pm Melbourne time on the day prior to the payment date.

If you want to save your employee's details in the payroll employee list you will need the following information:
