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.
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 youAnnual 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?
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 Xmas
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.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.
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.New Release: Pay Run History report now live
Kia ora everyone, We’re excited to share a new feature that went live on 18 December — the Pay Run History report. This update brings all your past pay runs into one consolidated view, helping you easily audit, review and report on payroll activity across your chosen employees and date range. What’s included? Summary view: High-level totals and pay run insights Detailed list view: A breakdown of each pay run, including selected employees Flexible date filters: Quickly retrieve historical payroll data Faster audits: No need to jump between multiple screens More accurate reporting: Clearer visibility of past payroll events This has been a highly requested capability from partners and SMEs, and we’re thrilled to deliver it before year-end when payroll reviews are top of mind. A huge thank you to everyone who shared feedback throughout the year — this update was shaped directly by what you told us would make the payroll workflow easier and more efficient. Let us know your thoughts or any further improvements you’d like to see. Cheers, Amanda.Historical leave data export/import
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? :(IRD / 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.MYOB Payroll - Timesheet upload integration help?
Hi all, We use "MYOB Business Payroll Only" at the moment and there's few things i can't figure out or I don't think it supports. So i need to figure out the right version for us. 1. What version of MYOB can I upload timesheet data into? The various help docs on the site only say to 'turn on timesheets' but nothing about which versions you can do this in - and i can't find it in my version. We use Guardhouse for our timesheets - staff clock in/out there - and that says it produces an MYOB compatible timesheet report but i can't determine what version of MYOB it can be uploaded to. 2. Is there a version of MYOB that I can separate annual leave cash outs so we can keep these tracked? As we often have staff asking to cash out their 1 weeks limit per year, but I have to manually keep record of this and dates it was done at the moment. 3. Is there a version of MYOB where it easily tells me the dates alt/lieu days are earned (instead of having to run a report and do manual calculations) so I can determine when they are eligible to be paid out? 4. Is there a version of MYOB where it can report all MOJ/IRD/MSD fines/payments/deductions? At the moment this only reports Court Fines and Child Support - but if staff get IRD repayment notices, or MSD repayment notices it's all manual not done in here 5. Is there a version of MYOB where I can have it track the '6 month test' for casual staff, when it comes to sick leave and bereavement leave entitlements? As in NZ they have to work a certain number of days/hours within a continuous 6 month period before they are entitled to this, and having to manually track and calculate that for our large casual work force is really difficult. 6. Is there a version of MYOB where staff can view their leave balances without having to wait to receive their payslips? It's tracked through our MYOB at this is our pay system, so it's not also in Guardhouse incase the 2 ever don't match up for whatever reason. So staff can only currently see their balance on the bottom of their payslips. 7. Is there a way for / version of MYOB that will somehow mark/alert public holidays when processing pay runs? To ensure the public holiday loading has been applied. Thank you in advance!
myob payroll
hi there , i am in the process of switching from myob exo desktop version to the business pro payroll, i have added all the employees and have added there current leave balance from exo as there starting balance in business however for some reason the accrued isn’t working correctly. - an example it’s added around 3 weeks accrued to one employee on top of the elated 3 weeks carried over - so it’s saying he has around 7 weeks leave
