Can anyone recommend a good, user friendly Payroll system?

We are currently using the desktop version of MYOB Payroll and have had no issues with it for 20 years, but it will no longer be supported as of April this year. 

We have started running the online MYOB Payroll alongside in the hope that by the time the other one expires, all Annual Leave rates and the Leave Liability Report will be calculating correctly.  However, I have zero faith that that will happen and there are too many other issues that make this platform frustrating and not user friendly.

So, we will be cancelling our MYOB subscription at the end of this financial year and making a move to.....?

Some of my issues with MYOB are as follows....

  • Annual Leave rates not calculating correctly, even after manually loading 52 weeks of previous payroll details
  • Leave Liability report not calculating correctly
  • The inability to make any changes to employees once you have started a Pay Run without having to delete the whole thing
  • The inability to be able to make corrections to previous weeks wages in the current week.
    eg. You are unable to enter negative hours if an employee was going to take leave but ended up working.

    Where is the information that desktop version of MYOB Payroll will no longer be supported as of April this year? I have not seen anything and the web base version is not as adequate as Desktop

    Hi Alplasco​ 

     

    This is only in relation to the old New Zealand only MYOB Payroll (which is a desktop only package).

     

    Up to now I had never even heard of this product, most likely as I am in Australia.  Thought I would install the latest release just to see what it is like.  It has an interface similar to MYOB Accounting circa Version 8.

     

    This end of development statement is in no way a reference to MYOB AccountRight - Australian Edition.
