Hi @Cforce

Happy to have a discussion with you - feel free to email me on jennie@jkbusiness.co.nz

Hot tip: do not move to MYOB Acumatica.
If it was my choice, move away from MYOB altogether.

Cforce

I am so confused, what should we move to?

MYOB still advertise a Payroll product. Is this also the same one that is being decommissioned, or is that a new, sperate product (as it appears to be)?

No I still haven't found an option, I don't like the idea of changing everything, so will probably have to pay more to outsource payroll. I looked at Acumatica but not happy to pay the initial outlay of $50k+ just to get a payroll solution that works

Hi, for what it's worth we are switching to MYOB Acumatica.

ATL001

Have you found a system that provides this function?

I asked the question re job costing in payroll as well (when they first advised of the decommissioning) I only just heard back from them last Friday & still didn't receive an answer to my question, it just seemed like a standard response. Not very helpful to me either as its forced me to look for another payroll provider.

The current desktop Payroll that you are using now will be retired by April 2026.

The software that replaces is Business payroll only(which is a cloud based software).

Please find the details below,

Features

Simple pay runs
Direct reporting to IR
Automated tax compliance
Automated KiwiSaver calculations
Manage timesheets online
Automated annual leave calculations

Data from desktop Business software will be migrated by our payroll migration team.

Please reach out to me for further assistance.

ATL001

No they don't either. Someone I know that uses Xero does a journal each payday to get the times onto jobs which is a pain. I'm still doing some research into it as there must be an easier way.

ATL

I thought they weren't interested in us because we're in NZ.

Sounds like they're not interested in helping anyone.

Hi @ATL,

Our team is definitely available to discuss this further and provide you with more information. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant MOCA or by getting in touch with our support here.

Regards,

Hi again @Earl_HD

Ok, so can you tell me which MYOB payroll programme is compatible with Accountright so all pay costs are imported as they are now. Surely we aren't the only company that requires this information.

I had more of a look and maybe Accountright Plus with Payroll added is what we are after. Can you tell me more about this please.

Thanks

Hi @ATL001,

MYOB Business Payroll Only does not support manually entering timesheets. The MYOB Team app is currently the only way to track time and process timesheets.

For a full tutorial on MYOB Business Payroll, you can check these resources:

MYOB Business Payroll NZ: This resource appears to provide an overview of MYOB Business Payroll for New Zealand. You can access it at Getting started with MYOB Business Payroll NZ
MYOB Business Payroll Demonstration: This includes details about the product's features and functionality tailored for small New Zealand businesses. Access it at MYOB Business Payroll Demonstration.
MYOB Business Payroll Only - NZ (Documentation): This contains detailed product descriptions, pricing, and features such as Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting, automated calculations, and mobile accessibility specific to New Zealand. The link is MYOB Business Payroll Only - NZ.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
Earl

Hi. I also left my details two weeks ago when I created this thread. But nobody has contacted me either...

ATL001

We currently use the desktop Payroll and are looking at moving to Business Payroll Only.

I have emailed the MYOB person that rang about changing but have had not reply, and I have googled and watched Youtube tutorials but can't find the answer to my questions, which is -

Is there the option of still entering Timesheets manually? The Teams App is not something we can see working for our staff. We have nearly 30 staff and they are often on a number of different jobs each week, and sometimes travel to a job which is on a different pay rate. We still need all this information to be imported to Accountright after each pay.

Can you post a link to a full tutorial of Business Payroll please.

Hi @Phil_mtc,

As of now, MYOB is sticking to cloud-based payroll packages. Our current and future focus is on cloud-based solutions due to the advantages they provide, such as better connectivity, continual updates, and compliance with regulations.

Cheers,

MYOB

Phil_mtc

Will you offer a non-cloud based payroll package at all or for a standalone payroll setup we now have to look elsewhere ? Just curious as all of your current offerings seem to be cloud only.
