STP 2 All purpose allowances
Have been trying to get help for the last month regarding STP2 and all purpose allowances and how to set them up. If have rang MYOB and was on hold for 1.5 hours and then have been cut off twice. Spoke to someone who then told me that you cant do this in MYOB. This is a requirement for STP 2 so it looks like we will be changing to another software company. Have asked the same question in the MYOB community with no response. Below is the question asked.
Need to set up an all purpose allowance this should be added to the minimum rate before penalties and overtime are calculated and needs to shown as an allowance through stp 2.
Unfortunately, the "you cant do that in MYOB" answer is correct.
Overtime and penalties will only calculate on a base hourly rate multiplier. You cant tell it to calculate on base hourly + an allowance.
I did find a thread where this had been asked before, and presented the same reasoning, and a solution that isnt of any use for STP2. (i.e. the allowance wouldnt be able to be reported seperately)
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hopefully it stops you needing to waste any more time chasing an answer.
