How do I do a separate pay run for back pay?   I've done the normal weekly run, but when I try to create a new payrun, I can't get the employee's name to show up in the screen.

    Hi Rosie

    Maybe you should make a new post for this so that one of the admin people see your message. 

    Unfortunately, I am using a newer version of Payroll now and cant remember what I did - so I an unable to help.

    Hi RosieLL, 
     
    Thanks for your post. I would like to extend to you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. 
     
    Regarding your question, processing a separate pay run for back pay involves creating an adjustment pay or a separate pay run. To handle back pay in MYOB Business, navigate to the payroll, or pay run section >> Create a new pay run or an adjustment pay >> In the new pay run or adjustment pay screen, you should be able to select the employee for whom you want to process the back pay. 
     
    If you cannot find the employee's name, make sure to check the following: 
     

    • Check that the employee is active, and their employment details are correctly set up in the system.
    • Make sure that the pay frequency is correct, the same as the pay run you are creating.
    • Check if the card file has a termination date.
    • Check if you already finalized your employee's data.

    Once the employee is selected, adjust earnings or add additional pay items >> Add the back pay amount as a separate line item or adjust the existing earnings to reflect the back pay >> Specify the details of the back pay, such as the date range it covers, the amount, and any applicable taxes or deductions >> Review the pay run to ensure that all details, including back pay, are accurate >> Confirm the pay run or adjustment once you're satisfied with the information >> To verify that the back pay has been processed correctly, check the employee's pay history or transaction details. 
     
    More information and instructions will be found in our Help Article: Back pay.
