MYOB ACE Payroll - how to terminate someone on a different day to the usual fortnightly pay cycle?

Tracy_P

Good Morning,

 

MYOB ACE Payroll question:

I have a staff member who ended employment yesterday, 4th June 2025, exactly one year after he started (1 yr contract).  Our usual fortnightly pay cycle finishes on 13th June 2025.    

I went to calculate his AL on termination but on top of his actual entitlement, its calculating 8% for the period 5th June to 13th June, which he isn't entitled to as he won't work for that period.  

What is the best way to do tell the system he is terminated from 4th June?  

Thanks

Tracy

Hey @Tracy_P,

 

For your employee who finished up on the 4th of June, it's popping in additional leave for the period from 5th to the 13th. Since they're no longer working, they shouldn't be earning those extra entitlements. The easiest way to fix this is to process a one-off payment to account for their actual entitlements upon termination. By processing a one-off payment, you can make sure their final payout reflects only leave and entitlements earned up to the actual termination date, 4th June, rather than including those unwanted extras from the next pay cycle. You can check this link for more info.

 

Cheers,

Doreen
