Updating Contractor GST details during an active pay run in MYOB
Hi, I am currently processing a pay run in MYOB business payroll that includes contractor withholding tax deductions, and I have encountered an issue when needing to update contractor details during the process. For example, when I receive a contractor invoice that includes GST, I need to update the contractor’s GST information to ensure the payroll is processed correctly. However, once the pay run has been started, I am unable to update the contractor or employee details within the current pay run. Could you please clarify the following: Is it possible to update contractor or employee details (such as GST settings) during an active pay run in MYOB? If changes are made, will they be reflected in the current pay run automatically? Is there a way to apply these updates without having to delete or reverse the entire pay run and start again? At the moment, I have to cancel the entire payroll and reprocess it in order to apply updated details, which is quite time-consuming. I would appreciate your guidance on the correct process or best practice for handling this scenario in MYOB. Thank youSolved39Views0likes2CommentsIncorrect 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!29Views0likes2CommentsDeleting 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! :)39Views0likes2CommentsLeave 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.33Views0likes1CommentMYOB Payroll 2025.1 & Decommissioning

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 you44Views0likes1CommentHow 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!Solved60Views0likes2CommentsChange in Annual leave hours due to change in weekly hours mid-tenure
Hi I have a question regarding how to adjust annual leave accumulation when an employee's hours change mid-tenure. When I updated an employee's weekly hours from 30 to 40, the system automatically recalculated their total accumulated leave as if they had been working 40 hours since the start of their employment. Please advise on how to correctly adjust these settings so the leave reflects the actual hours worked during each period of their employment? Appreciate a response.Solved182Views0likes2CommentsPay 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 Xmas141Views0likes1CommentAnnual 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?128Views0likes1CommentFinal 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.228Views1like7CommentsRe-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.78Views2likes0CommentsACE 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.138Views0likes2CommentsNew Release: Pay Run History report now live

Hi, We are in the process of transitioning away from the MYOB NZ Payroll desktop software. Can anyone recommend which reports we can use to export 52 weeks of pay data, and leave liability data, so that we can import into new software (MYOB Acumatica)? Are any of these reports in excel format, or are they all pdfs? :(146Views0likes1CommentIRD / GST Number - Fiji Revenue & Customs Authority 10 Digit IRD Number
I would like to highlight that now in Fiji the new personal and company Tax Identification Numbers are 10 Digit, but the same cannot be input in the Business Setting screen IRD Number / GST Number nor can it be input in Customer Setup Screen IRD Number / GST Number. (Refer attached TIN letter for our company IRD number for your reference). We are hopefully in the next MYOB software upgrade this could be upgraded.132Views0likes1Comment
