Payslips - employee name

Payslips - employee name

We have three employees - every time a pay run is run I have to go into the individual employee details to ensure the correct name is shown on the payslip for the wages and for superannuation.  I have to change the name for each employee every time a pay run is done.

    Hi trish2,

     

    It sounds like there might be an issue with how the employee details are set up in your system. To ensure the correct names appear automatically on payslips and superannuation, I recommend reviewing employee records.

     

    Go to the employee details and check the Personal Details section to confirm the employee's full name is entered correctly by going to Payroll > Pay items. Ensure the correct names are also set in the 'Name for pay slip' under the Payment Details and Superannuation sections. Once details are updated, save the information to make it permanent for future pay runs.

     

     

     

     

    Regards,

    Sai

    Your solution does not work.  

    What I do:

    Click on Employee

    Click on Payroll Details

    Click on Salary and Wages

    Click on Base Salary (under Allocated Wage pay items) then I put the correct employee name under 

    Name for Payslip

    Note:  Further down under 'Employees using this pay item' I have all three employees listed -  should this only have one employee??

    Ditto for clicking on Superannuation.

      Hi trish2

       

      If all three employees use the same pay item, the pay line item will appear similar on all the pay slips. A workaround for this is to create separate pay items for different employees. This way, they will appear differently on the pay slips.

        I do not understand.  You did not answer my query on Note:  Employees using this pay item - should I have only the employee I am attempting to correct or list all three employees we have.

    I still don't understand.  What do you mean by creating different pay items for different employees?  What pay items?

        At long last I have discovered the problem of 'name on payslip'.  I thought that where it says 'name on payslip' it meant the name of the employee.  But what it means is the category (ie. base salary, superannuation guarantee, annual leave, etc.).  

        But now I have another problem:  on attempting to click on MYOB sign in it comes up with

        Oh-oh! the numbers don't add up.   I had this problem ages ago which got resolved but cannot remember how.
