Base Hourly Calculation Rate Changed by MYOB System during payroll

Background: Apprentice 3rd yr anniversary mid pay cycle. 

 

Pay cycle w/ending 20/08/25, Paid as follows: Thur & Fri at Old 2nd yr rate,

Mon, Tues & Wed. paid at 3rd yr rate (which is now Base hourly for this employee on his file).

 

Apprentice Base hourly rate set up on employee file is $27.39 (3rd yr rate) in prep for this pay cycle.

On Pay item "Old Pay Rate" is the 2nd yr rate $23.18 - employee added to this pay item in prep for this pay cyle.

 

When entering hours in payroll for this employee:

16 hours was put to item "Old Pay Rate" at $23.18

24 hour put to "Base Hourly". However for some reason the MYOB system increased the pay rate  to $30.20 per hour, changing it from $27.39 per hour.

 

This has also happened previously when hours for pay item "Annual Leave Taken - Loading" was entered, the MYOB sytem automatically changed the "Base Hourly Rate".

 

Why?

 

Please fix this bug.

    Hi Anna18

     

    Thanks for sending through that screenshot, looks like there’s a bit of extra manual work because of the values automatically filing up. 

    If MYOB’s filling out those pay details for you automatically, it’s probably because of how things are set up in the employee’s standard pay. I’d suggest jumping into their employee info and updating or removing those values should save you some hassle going forward. You can read more about how standard pay works from this article
