Number of employee

Hi, 

My low cost MYOB limits to 4 employees. Currently I have 4 employees. Can I deactivate an employee but add a new one in the next pay cycle in the same month without exceeding the limit of 4 employees?

  • Hi Ken_Wong​ - thanks for your question.

     

    If you've already reached your monthly limit and you need to add a new employee in the same month, you'll need to upgrade your plan. You can always downgrade your plan afterwards, or you can stay on the upgraded plan to keep paying the increased number of employees.

    I hope this helps!

    Actually my employees are casually workers. They will come and go all the time. They may not be the same in every pay cycle. It so happens one of them will leave in November (the last payment on 2 November) and a new employee will join in the same month and will be paid in the next cycle 16 November (ie in the following pay cycle after I have paid the leaving employee) I always pay 4 employees every time. Any solution?

    Hi Ken_Wong​ - if your plan includes 4 employees per month, the employee you're paying on Nov 2 counts as one employee for that month and the new employee you're paying on Nov 16 counts as a second employee for that month. If you'll be paying more than two other employees in November, you'll need to upgrade your plan.
