Payroll: Long Service Leave Accrual
It would be great to have long service accrual recorded similar to annual leave. This not only useful for employee but essential for employers. It is available on AccountRight why not make it available here. I feel like I'm going backwards in giving my employees information they need. Please make this a priority on Essentials. Can't be too hard. Cheers
Payroll: Edit Payslip template
Please allow us to edit the Payslip template in MYOB Essentials. I have employees who are on hourly and some on salary. The hourly rate showing on the salary payslip and the annual salary showing on the casual hourly rate payslip is misleading and looks very unprofessional. The layout of the Payslip is also not well thought out. Very sad indeed. "Payslips"
Reports: Employee Leave Entitlement Balance report
Can MYOB design & include in Essentials: Entitlement Balance detail report which shows A] by pay period, and B] for each leave type: employee name, opening balance leave hours, leave hours accrued, leavehours taken, leave available hours (cumulative). Please base design on "Entitlement Balance (detail) report" which is in Account Edge Pro v13.5 "MYOB Essentials - to provide Leave Entitlement Balance Detailed Report"
Report: Payroll activity - list alphabetically by last name
Who was the genius that decided that a payroll report should list employees alphabetically baed on their first name instead of their surname? MYOB have never done this before (for good reason). No other accounting report or ATO report or any report lists employees alphabetically based on their first name. If there is a good reason for it, I certainly cannot see it. Please either change the alphabetical listing in the reports to be based on surnames, or give the user the ability to edit the way that the reports are listed like Xero does? "Payroll activity report listed alphabetically using surname (NOT first name)"
Employees: Ability to set a default extra (PAYG) tax amount
I have an employee that wants to have an extra $10 of tax withheld from his pay each week. The ATO form has an option for tax to be withheld at a particular percentage, or for tax to be increased by a fixed amount. The Support chat line clarified that LiveAccounts currently only supports the percentage option. We will need to vary the tax withheld each week manually., I would like to see an enhancement to allow for the increased withholding by a fixed amount. This would seem fairly straightforward and would make weekly payroll simpler for us. Thanks Scott "Withholding Variation - Fixed Amount"Report: Superannuation accrual amounts
It would be really handy to have a something available in Essentials like in AR the super by fund summary report. Currently I use the payroll summary report as this is the only report available. It works fine as it shows the super for that month, but I am always flicking back to the employee contact details to see the super fund and member number for each employee. "Super report"Employees: Notes - increase character limit
Hi we have just had the 1st of 4 files migrated to the new version of Essentials. We have been eagerly awaiting all the new featuresthat would make life easier but we are disappointed to see some of the good points about the old version have gone. The notes section of the employee file has a reduced character limit so much so that the notes on one employee file that were imported from the old version have had to be cut & pasted to a word document as they were too large for the field & tech support are unable to tell me how charaters can go in the field The payslip (& whole payroll process) was much simpler in the old version. We would like to be able to edit the payslip template or if you could just make it look like the old version including logo that would be fantastic We would like to be able to add our logo to the remittance advice as well If we can edit the invoice template why cant we edit the payslip & remittance templates? It is great that we can now have TOIL & LSL accruals & recurring journals but I wish you could have kept the good features from the old version that have been removed. We would love the simplicity of the old version with the added features of the new "Payroll & templates in New Essentials"
