Employee annual leave is not deducting from the annual leave balance.
We have recently migrated from MYOB Exo Service to MYOB Business Payroll. However, for salaried staff, I am unable to get the annual leave balance to deduct correctly. For example, if I enter 1 day of annual leave and 1 day of sick leave under “Holidays and Leave,” the system correctly shows the annual leave pay and sick leave pay. However, the total salary amount becomes incorrect. If I adjust the “Salary Hours,” the amount also becomes a few cents different. Could you please advise the correct setup or processing method for salaried employees on leave?NZ AIM return
I'm setting up an AIM return in AccountRight for the first time ever. This is AIM only, no GST. The FYE is 31-03-2027. When I get to the end of the setup, I'm only presented with Sept 25 to March 26. Does anyone know how I select a month in the current financial year? I tried closing the previous year but still get the same choices. I tried changing the GST period manually to May 2026 but that made no difference. This is what I am presented with.
Amending Kiwisaver deduction from 01.04.26
Hi When processing the payrun on 01.04.26 the Kiwisaver deduction was made at 3%. IRD have picked up on this and require the amount amended to 3.5%. The payday was 01.04.26, but the pay week was w.e.29.03.26, so should I just explain that to the IRD, or make an adjustment?
Incorrect Employee classification after Migration from ACE Payroll to MYOB
Hi, We have recently migrated from ACE payroll to MYOB business Payroll. After completing the migration, I noticed that all contractors have been set up as permanent employees. Could you please advice if there is a way to change these employees to the correct contractor classification? Thank you!
Deleting or removing pays from NZ desktop
Hi, How do I delete two weekly pay runs from the old NZ MYOB desktop payroll system (see screen shot)? While we were switching over to new NZ Acumatica payroll system I actioned parallel pay runs. The duplicate pays were not uploaded to IRD twice. I'd just like to remove them so that my EOFY reports are neat and I don't have to manually remove the weeks. Thanks! :)
Leave without Pay effect on Annual Leave
Employee taking 17 weeks leave without pay. Employee has so far accrued 1.06 weeks (43.58 hours) since his previous anniversary date of 22.12.2025 but when I change his anniversary date by 16 weeks as I have been advised that is what should be done his accrued holidays disappears. Is this correct? or will it start calculating after 13th April 2026 (the 16 week date) Is there an easier way to calculate this without changing his anniversary.MYOB Payroll 2025.1 & Decommissioning
FYI: MYOB Payroll 2025.1 - March 2025 MYOB Payroll 2025.1 updates the ACC earner levy rate, ESCT and extra pay tax thresholds for the 2025 to 2026 financial year.

Pay Slips & IRD Filing
Hi, Have just upgraded 9 Ace payrolls to MYOB. Overall approx 350 part time and 20 full time staff. In ACE I sent payslips out before IR filing and loading the bank. With 9 schools and many part-timers, plus a Tues evening work cut off and Wed payment, there was often a change of shift or late sick leave to adjust. Is there any way I can send out the payslips before I load the IR file or download the bank data? Plus is it possible to download the IR file and file it later, rather than automatically? Thank you
How to delete a duplicate pay run?
Hi all, I've just realized I ran a wages calculation twice in payroll. They were only paid once and it was only reported to the IRD once but I don't balance now. How do I delete the duplicate please? I've looked everywhere and can't see a guideline for how to do this with NZ Payroll. Thanks!
Pay Run error
Hoping someone can help me. Some how I've done a pay run a week early! It's gone right through to pay day filing stage . How can I reverse it as the data is incorrect? Also does anyone have a ph number that MYOB answer to. I'm real new to MYOB so stuffing up like this & having no help isn't very helpful Merry XmasAnnual Leave Calc adding 8%
Just doing a payroll roll for later this week. One employee has had about 8% added to her hourly rate for her annual leave taken for Xmas and Boxing day so her pay is higher than normal. Other two employees have same pay as usual? NZ MYOB not open until the 5th of January. Can I change manually?
Final pay - 2 pay runs in one pay period
We run a monthly payroll, paying employees on 12th of the month for the full calendar month. We are making some employees redundant and wanting to pay redundancy and final leave balance at end of the month. Can I run two pay runs in one month? Possible alternative is to run normal pay as being from 1st to 30th of the month, change pay cycle to weekly and have pay period for the 31st. In this scenario, the redundancy should be taxed correctly as an extra pay, but will the annual leave be taxed correctly? Any solutions would be appreciated.Re-employing staff
Just some advise for all out there, if re-employing/reinstating a staff member (regardless if it is the same or a different financial year) don't follow the online advice: 'You can reinstate (or reactivate) an ex-employee by reusing their employee record. All you need to do is remove the Termination date from their record and ensure their payroll details are up to date.' This will just lead nowhere as you are unable to edit the anniversary dates for annual and sick leave and MYOB are unable to do anything about it. You need to set up a new employee record.ACE Payroll
I need to add an additional week of annual leave entitlement to a couple of employees. How do I backdate this so that the entitlement starts from a couple of months ago, and how does this affect the ongoing calculations if the increased entitlement is a different date to their anniversary date for leave calculations i.e. I need to increase the annual entitlement to 5 weeks going forward, but also backdate when the annual entitlement dates back to.
