Payroll - Incorrect Base Hourly Pay

Hi all,

 

We encountered a bizarre issue with our latest pay run. On of our employees is on a base hourly pay of $30. In the latest run, he was paid $29.50 instead of the $30. No other employees had this issue. All previous pay was correct. Nothing different was done for processing this pay run. 

We've checked the MYOB employee settings and tab and his settings are the same as the other employees. 

  1. Pay basis is hourly - $30;
  2. Allocated wage pay items is not set to auto-adjust

Seems to be a known issue from a few years back - https://community.myob.com/discussions/payrollforum-board/payroll---base-hourly-wrong/867857

 

Has this been fixed?

    Hi Sai,

     

    Thanks for your reply. It is disappointing that the solution is to manually check the base pay and manually correct any issues.

     

    A system of this scale like MYOB should not have such a fundamental flaw for something as basic as transferring the correct base hourly pay. I'm not sure how can users trust it for anything more complex. It's even more concerning that this has not already addressed, given it's an issue from 2 years ago, but instead choosing to push the onus onto users to manually check and do everything. 

     

    Perhaps another item to add to the ideas board!

    Hi JWorkright,

     

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with Base Hourly Pay. Since you've already made sure that "Automatically Adjust" isn't used for multipliers greater than 1, the next step is to carefully check the pay amounts when processing payroll and manually correct any discrepancies before finalising.

     

    If the issue persists, it's best to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant MOCA or submit a case via MyAccount so they can further look into it.

     

    Regards,

    Sai
