Payroll reports for terminated employees

Question

We are currently going through an extensive audit and the MYOB leave reports are causing us a lot of grief.&nbsp; Why do employees who have been terminated during the year not show up as having an opening balance at the start of the year given they were employees at the time?&nbsp; I have selected all employees so that terminated employees are included. I have refreshed the reports as suggested in other posts.&nbsp; It's caused huge issues in the audit.&nbsp; Why does MYOB make everything so difficult??!

Hi AmyG1,Thanks for raising this! Once an employee is terminated, their card file updates and reports only show what’s currently on their card. This means you won’t see opening balances for terminated employees in leave reports. That’s why those balances don’t appear, even if you include all employees and refresh the reports.&nbsp;Regards,Earl

ThanksThat makes no sense to me.&nbsp; If they were an employee at the start of the financial year, then their leave accrual is included in the opening balance on the balance sheet so why wouldn't they be included in these reports?&nbsp; It causes a lot of discrepancies for an audit.

Hey AmyG1,
&nbsp;
These reports grab their info based on what’s currently in each employee’s card file, rather than what was listed at the start of the financial year. That means if someone’s card has changed or isn’t active now, their leave accrual doesn’t show up in the report. If you’re seeing gaps or odd numbers, it’s likely because the report is only looking at the latest details.

Cheers,
Doreen
