NZ desktop payroll on Parallels with ARM
Does anyone know how to get NZ Payroll (green desktop payroll) working on Windows ARM? I've been running Macs for years using Parallels with absolutely no issues. When I updated to a Macbook Pro last year with Parallels (all current including all Mac & Windows updates) I haven't been able to get the payroll working at all. I've been told it's an "ARM" issue. Has anyone come across this and know how to get it working? I'm sick of running two computers to do wages & can't do Online Payroll for these wages & really gutted this software has been left behind while none of the other payroll options are anything like it in reporting or processing. Many Thanks Bex16Views0likes2CommentsSplit Bank Accounts in NZ Payroll
We have been waiting for MYOB to re-introduce the ability to split wage payments into more than one bank account for our employees. After it was left off the new updated version, we were told it would be done in the first quarter of 2024. This is still not done, and very frustrating to have to make one off separate payments in our bank for our employees with multiple bank accounts every week. When is this going to be available again for NZ Payroll like it is for Australia????Solved32Views1like3CommentsNZ Bank Account Names
Hi there, NZ Banks are now double checking that bank account names match with bank account numbers. I notice when the payment file is created, the A/c name field is not pulled into this file and instead defaults with the employees First & Last name. When the file is then imported into our bank to make the payments, the names are sometimes incorrect to the exact bank account name. How do we go about updated this for future pay runs without having to manually override the account names each time it is imported into the bank.

Hi, We have processed an overpayment of wages. How do I correct this? Can I simply enter a neagtive amount against the over-paid payroll code, and the system will calculate the correct taxes and KiwiSaver amounts? (pls say yes). Or do I need to manualy adjust taxes, kiwisaver, etc.? We are using desktop version 2024.2 (not essentials) Thx.Solved23Views0likes1Commenthow to pay 8% holiday pay
We have a closedown at Christmas from Monday 23 December starting back Monday 13 January 2025. Some staff have not worked a year (only a few months) and I need to pay out the 8% holiday pay. MYOB payroll does not have a default to pay the 8% without termination. Can someone help with this - how do you process the gross amount so that it reduces the holiday pay. or do you have to do all of this manually? Also if you pay out the leave in full and they have no leave left as they are off on holiday what are the rules to move the start date if they are coming back to work on the 13 Jan.Solved21Views0likes2CommentsAnnual Leave conversion from old payroll system
Our previous payroll system calculated Annual Leave in Hours, not Weeks. How do we enter previous Annual Leave Entitlement into MYOB (as MYOB calculates leave in Weeks, not Hours)? Our staff choose what days and hours they want to work, so they dont have consistent working patterns, so "hours worked" every week is different. Thanks.Solved34Views0likes4CommentsBad Debt & GST
Hi there. On MYOB Accountright I have a bad debt which sits within the current filing period for GST. I have followed the steps so that the amount owed has been allocated to the Bad Debt account instead of the customer account (which now sits at $0.00 and had been closed). Should this automatically be picked up on my MYOB GST report, or are there additional steps I need to take to make this happen e.g. Journal entry?Solved26Views0likes4CommentsPaydays fall on Christmas day and New Year Day
Just refreshing my brain as I am self-doubting myself my payroll ends on a Tuesday night for Payment on a Wednesday With Christmas day and New Year's Day falling on a Wednesday I know the banks will still process the payments but before 7-day banking came along we had to pay payroll the day before a public holiday. I can't find anywhere that this RULE still applies so I am assuming it is no longer a rule since 7-day banking came along, and I can just set the payrolls to pay out on the set days (both Wednesdays ) ?747Views0likes3CommentsSick Leave - changing anniversary date

Hi All, We have a new employee commenced in NZ in the Month of August. According to employees Tax Code the Tax taken up by MYOB is incorrect.

Hi, I am using NZ Desktop Payroll version 2024.2 We have a returning employee who has been away from the company for 12 months. In terms of reloading them into NZ Payroll, should I load them as a new employee, or is there a reinstate button or process? Secondly, are there any other items to consider with a returning employee with regards to NZ employment rules and regs?

Hi all I think ever since the upgrade to 2024.2, whenever I finalize the pay a blank page opens up (top bar reads my.myob login) and then after a few seconds the page says that the page cant be opened and try and refresh. After I close that pop up page I get an error in Payroll saying Operator/operand type mismatch. I the click OK Next it says the Journals have not been posted into my account. I can also recreate this when I go into Tools/Create Journals and try to do it manually I have recently had to replace this computer so have had to reinstall everything, so unsure whether it started happening straight after the payroll upgrade (via email) or whether its only been since this new computer. I have just trying reinstalling Payroll but its still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks68Views0likes1Comment
