ACC and Holiday Pay on MYOB Payroll
One of our staff member has been on a mix of ACC (non work related injury) and pay for 12 months. At times she has been paid for by ACC on a work trial and at other times on abatement where we pay for what she worked, topped up by ACC. I have entered the hours that we have paid her on MYOB Payroll, but at times she has worked hours that are on the timesheet but not in payroll because ACC have been paying her. Below is the relevant section from the Employment NZ website. So if she takes annual leave we pay her at her ordinary weekly pay, but she is not actually accruing holiday pay at 8%? An employee's annual leave is calculated as if the employee were still working. When the employee ends their job after a period of being on ACC, the employer needs to pay any outstanding annual leave in the final pay based on gross income. The “first week compensation” paid by the employer is included in gross income. ACC compensation payments are not earnings, and are not included in gross income. Since annual leave is calculated at the higher of the average weekly earnings for the 12 months before termination or the ordinary weekly pay, if the employee has been unpaid by the employer for over a year the average weekly pay equals zero.The employer then needs to use the ordinary weekly pay, which is the amount the employee would receive for an ordinary working week. Many employees will still have an ordinary weekly pay even after being off work on ACC for a lengthy period, which is normally covered in the employment agreement.If there is nothing specified in the employment agreement, then the pattern of work and payment from when the employee was last working would decide what an ordinary weekly pay is for the employee.For example, an employee who works 40 hours a week at an hourly rate of $20 per hour would have an ordinary weekly pay of $800 despite being off work on ACC for over a year.Solved7.7KViews0likes2Comments
GST Details Report not showing GST from bank payments for home office
Hi, am an MYOB newbie and trying to do my first NZ GST return since starting to use MYOB in April. I have put a number of my expenses through as bank payments rather than raising these as individual bills as I'm only claiming a percentage (home office) or they're DDs (insurance) and I don't get a regular invoice. When I run the GST report however, none of the bank payments are showing up although if I look at them individually they have GST associated to them. Any advice as to why these aren't being picked up by the report.Solved4.5KViews0likes6Comments
Adding GST to an Invoice - What am I Missing?
Hey everyone. This should be a simple one, but for some reason it isn't. I've just registered my business for GST. Added the information to MYOB, but I can't get the GST to add on to my invoices. It simply says it is inclusive of the price. Whereas I want it to show in the GST section... Please help, what simple step am I missing here?Solved4.5KViews0likes3Comments
Interest received from Inland Revenue on GST Refund
I have received a GST refundfrom Inland Revenue, which includes interest over and above the return amount, for paying early. My problem is not with the original GST entry but when I enter the journal entryto clear GST collected and GST paid accounts for the return. I enter the GST collected amount, the GST Paid amount and then the GST Payments/Refunds amount (which is what I actually received). I am obviously left with the small amount ofinterest paid by IRD which needs a Credit transaction to balance the entry. My best thought is to enter a Credit to GST Payments & Refunds and memo it Interest Paid by IRD. Would welcome any suggestions on how others have dealt with this?Solved3.7KViews0likes3Comments

printer not activated, error code 30
Hi there, obviously the latest Windows 10 update has affected the print function in MYOB payroll. It was working perfectly fine last pay last week. I note that Windows did an update. When I went to email the payslips it popped up with the 'printer not activated, error code 30' notification box. That meant I had to screenshot the payslips and copy and paste into an individual email to all employees. That is so time consuming and potential for huge error (hate to send wrong payslip to wrong person). So after doing that, I proceeded to process the Employment Information for filing PAYE with IRD. When I went to preview the EI_Return (clicked the button) lo and behold it also gave me the same error. Meant I couldn't print this important tax sheet which I use to verify the imported file in IRFile and to keep as a record of weekly EI Return from Payroll. I would like to have this corrected please so that next Wednesday I am not faced with the same dilemma. It has always been a real hassle to fix this and it's not an easy fix. Has often meant uninstalling and multitude of other things to remedy. Equals lots of wasted time. Will wait to hear what is required. ThanksSolved3.3KViews0likes6Comments

Why does the annual leave rate alter with certain staff AND sometimes I am able to change it back to their ordinary rate and sometimes not? Also, we have a staff who started October 2019, has taken leave in advance.

I still have one client on this and am trying to do their accounts. I went to open a support request and it won't open one - tells me to come here.

So frustrating at year-end to have these issues.

Resignation after ACC
We have an employee who has been off work on ACC ((work related injury) - we have agreed it was but are not 100% certain it was not an old injury) he had only been in our employeement for approximately three weeks prior to his injury late November 2022 . We paid his first week of compensation as required at 80%. He has now resigned as of the 30 August 2023. Am I right in assuming his final pay will only be a very minimal amount eg. 8% of his AWE for the three/four weeks he was physically working with us.Solved2.2KViews0likes6Comments
