Would love to get the reason MYOB has put this restriction on. Couple of times I have missed changing it and overpaid someone. Very annoying.
Hi Lamica,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter.
I can understand the frustration that can arise from accidentally overpaying someone due to overlooking the default value. The base hourly default value is established from the employee's standard pay settings, which is aimed at maintaining consistency and precision in payroll calculations.
In my exploration, I've found that while you can adjust the hourly rate and default hours within the pay cycle to different values, the software prevents setting them to zero, issuing an error message: "The hours in the (pay cycle) pay period must be greater than zero." You'll need to enter 0.01 to zero out the hours worked in the standard pay. It's important to double-check the standard pay section to ensure the accuracy of any changes made before proceeding with a pay run. This precaution helps to avoid any potential errors and ensures smooth payroll processing.
Feel free to post again if you need further assistance.
Cheers,
Princess
