Payday Super payment timing

Thank you but it does seem a big chaotic that you cannot schedule the super payments, rather than having to manually do this every week. 

Hi kate17, 

Thanks for sharing that extra context. I can understand why this is important, especially when one person handles payroll and needs to schedule things ahead while they’re away.

At the moment, payday super payments can’t be scheduled the same way payroll payments can. If the payment is authorised now, it’ll still be processed and debited now, even if a future date is entered.

For now, the practical option is to process and authorise the super payment closer to the actual pay date. If leave coverage is the main issue, another option is to have an additional Pay Super authoriser set up so someone else can process the payment at the right time while the usual payroll person is away.

We appreciate you calling out how this affects leave planning and cashflow, and can see why a scheduling option would be helpful here.

Also, posting on the Ideas Board would definitely help the dev team gauge interest on a feature like this.

Agreed!  I did question MYOB with regard to how long it takes to get to the employees account.  Exactly 6 days after submitting the payment.  Receiving significant interest on the short term money market is very lucrative I would think.  

Hi Sunny17,

I get why you're frustrated. For a small business where one person handles payroll, having to log in on the exact day just to stop the super payment coming out early is a real pain, and I can see how that would create cashflow and reconciliation issues too. If the super payment is authorised today, it will still be processed and debited today, even if a future date has been entered. That means the only current workaround is to authorise the payment closer to the actual pay date.

Hi Sunny17,

Sorry for the late reply, and fair call. Other users have already voted for the feature to future date super payments for a specific date, and it’d be really helpful if you could add your vote there too. This Community Forum post is one of the places our dedicated team keeps an eye on for feature feedback and demand, so adding your support helps keep it visible. 

Cheers,

I agree but this does not work in the Hospitality Industry where you have multiple casuals on different hours each week and paid weekly.  Last week we paid super on the same day as wages and it is still showing as processing (no new employees and we are at Day 6, stressful!) MYOB are super slow and not helpful at all around this.

Yah need this because when a payday super is authorised after 4pm it sometimes processes same day and deducts from account and sometimes does it the next day.  If you could just forward date one day there would be no issues with the bank rec.
