Hi Doreen,
I did reach out to support but am still none the wiser.
She changed all my subbies employment type settings to Labour hire, and put in an annual salary amount, which is incorrect. Could MYOB not have a contractor option??
I spoke to the ATO, and he said that as our subbies are not in the STP system, we don't have to use it, just pay the super but there is no way to just pay the super in MYOB without going through Payroll. Unfortunately though next year we have to declare the OE!
I intend to change back the settings to Labour - other and when it comes to recording payroll and it says it is 'not accepted by ATO do you still want to record?' go yes so that I can pay the super but it is not going through STP.
He said if I report anything through STP, which the last pay run did after Support changed the settings (putting in a salary amount & using labour hire as employee code), I have to report OE!
Talking to Support, I just wanted to know how MYOB was going to somehow marry up the cost of sales expense (subcontractor) and wages expense so as not to have both sitting there on the P&L.
I realise that the ATO, by instigating all these changes, has probably not thought thru all these consequences, but surely MYOB & ATO can come up with a solution.
Cheers
Carmel
