Payroll Restart & Purchase Leave Restart

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;I need to restart payroll for all employees before the end of the month (30th June), including both active and terminated staff. The challenge is that all terminated employees have been processed with their actual termination dates. To restart payroll, I’ll need to temporarily undo these termination dates to trigger the STP report, and then reapply the correct termination dates afterward.&nbsp;Additionally, after 30th June, I’ll need to restart the Purchase Leave balances. This involves using a small dummy value to ensure the balance appears on payslips from 1st July onwards. As far as I understand, MYOB doesn’t automatically restart Purchase Leave, so a manual restart is required.My question is: why do we need to perform these restarts manually? It seems quite tedious and time-consuming. Is there a more efficient or automated way to handle this?&nbsp;Thank you in advance.&nbsp;Regards,Indigo

Hey IndigoHermawan,
&nbsp;
Restarting Purchase Leave manually might feel like jumping through a few hoops. Leave accruals are designed to align with what’s required by Fair Work or state laws, like Annual Leave and Personal Leave, which are mandatory benefits for employees. It doesn’t have an automatic process to reset it like it does for mandatory leave types. That’s why the manual workaround is needed to get it all set up again for the new financial year.
&nbsp;
Cheers,
Doreen

Thank you Doreen,&nbsp;&nbsp;That's make sense. But how about the normal restart? for everyone - the restart with $0 transaction? What is that for? Thanks&nbsp;Inidgo
