Exo Payroll to MYOB business Payroll only, leave balances differing?

Anyone else, like myself been forced into leaving the easy to use Exo Payroll and moving onto the Business Payroll only system and having a nightmare making the Leave balances the same?

After inputting all 52 weeks worth of pay history for each employee, into Business Payroll, the balances are different (the new system makes estimates I cant change, which gives the difference balances), I'm sure there is something I have done wrong here, but not sure where to start and running out of time to fix this so I can actually start running a pay cycles in the new system.

(I realise I should have done this sooner but procrastinated, as i was reluctant to change :-)

    Hi campmother,

     

    There are heaps of reasons why the total YTD pay for your employees might not add up for the financial year. If everything looks right but the numbers still don’t match, it’s a good idea to get in touch with us. You can send a ticket through the MyAccount window or chat with our team via MOCA, our virtual assistant.

  • I had the exact same experience and the "support" person was of little help.  Sadly I have not much to offer other than commiserations.  I adjusted the '52 weeks' amount so that the Holiday Pay balances were correct-ish and have been running my old (reliable) payroll alongside to make sure this new nonsense is making sense.  I did discover that you can adjust the annual earnings figure when paying Annual Leave to make the rates match what is in my old system.

    Now I just need to figure out how to make deductions for staff accounts....

    Oh no that doesn't sound like I'm going to have an easy time sorting this then. I can manipulate the numbers to make the leave balances match but that changes the other figures (accrued, advanced etc) incorrect, which maybe an issue, if an employee leaves, when calculating final pay. Eeek.

    Speaking to MYOB support actually left me even more confused and worried as their solution was to manipulate the leave balance to a made up amount until it matched in the new system, now when running the old system at the same time to make sure they match... they just don't and there is no obvious reason for this. Im truly concerned we are now accruing leave incorrectly and this will impact our employees at some point. Genuinely considering moving away from MYOB altogether as this is over complicated and not user friendly (especially for my small mind anyway).
