Hi,
We are currently setting up MYOB payroll in preperation to move from our exisitng software to MYOB.
We are at the stage where we need to enter leave balances, we can enter the Holiday Leave Balance however we can not enter the Sick Leave accrual, the line for Sick Leave is there however nothing can be entered.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Hello CTG
Welcome to the Community Forum.
If you want to adjust leave or entitlements you can go to Card File command centre > Cards List, open an employee card > Payroll Details tab > Entitlements. Enter the opening balances (in hours) in the Balance Adjustment column.
You mention not being able to enter this in for the sick leave, can you please describe if there is anything different that could be preventing this, such as if the line is greyed out? Are you able to please send a screenshot of this or any error that is popping up. (Making sure to cover up any private information in the screenshot)
Please let me know how you go.
How can the sick leave be adjusted if the settings are to 'not carry forward the balance to the next financial year'.
Employees are demanding the accrued balance be shown on their payslips, but it zeros out for the new payroll year. It can't be adjusted like annual leave balances.
Hello LenaC1
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Have you managed to get this sorted?
The way to adjust leave is the same if that is ticked or not.
You go to Card File command centre > Cards List, open an employee card > Payroll Details tab > Entitlements. Enter the opening balances (in hours) in the Balance Adjustment column.
This will then update the sick leave balance for the employee.

I haven't come accross any Sick Leave entilement in recent times that do not carry forward to the next financial year.... I'd be checking if a mistake has been made here.

If a mistake has been made and MYOB is refusing to let you tick the carry over check box then a new Entitlement will need to be created (if the old one has not actually been used yet then you should be able to delete it)

There is no requirement to to display the accrued sickleave balance on payslips. (Its good practice to not show the sick leave balance)
