Allowance calculation on Wages Overtime

Hi there,

My employees are all on different hourly rates and are entitled to different all-purpose allowances which need to be reported separately: 

eg:

Base Rate = $42per hour (Gross)

Industry = $1.69 (Allowance - all purpose)

Tools = $1.04 (Allowance -Tools)

Leading Hand = $1.74 (Allowance - task)

 

Which is fine but then calculating their overtime = their Base + allowances x 1.5 (or x2.0) 

Which there is no option to do in MYOB Business (it's base x 0.000 or per hour). Unless I create new pay items for each employee for each type of overtime as a 'per hour' amount which feels messy. 

Is there a better way to do this? Also if I create all new pay items for the employees their payslips looks horrendous because all their existing YTD items stay on there. 

Thanks,

Tess.

    Hi TessCooney,

    Thanks for sharing the details. At the moment there isn’t a cleaner built-in way to have MYOB Business automatically calculate overtime as base rate + separate all-purpose allowances for each employee. In practice, the workaround is usually to create separate overtime pay items with the required rate for each scenario/employee, even though that can get a bit messy.
