Incorrect tax table
I got told of this error yesterday from MYOB,that there might be a problem with the tax codes being used for employees added during 2 January and 11 February 2026 I found a few employees that joi...

MYOB is there any update on this? It seems quite urgent. We have received the warning notice about the incorrect tax tables, have three new employees who self-onboarded during this time. Bit hard to check if the wrong tax table has been allocated if I am unable to see what information they provided.
Flare should not have access to our employees personal information. We do not provide employee benefits and there is no reason for them to have this data.
Hi SDuddy,
You’re right to be concerned given the incorrect tax table warning and have raised a fair point around who can access their personal info. The good news is we do have a workaround specifically for the incorrect tax tables which you can follow here. For onboarding details, MYOB supports employee onboarding and information requests through Flare, so if you need the onboarding PDFs for those team members, Flare’s support team can securely share them with you. You can also make self‑onboarding optional if you’d like a bit more control over the process by going to:
- Setup
- General payroll information
- Invite employees to self‑onboard, then set it to: Optional, ask me every time
Cheers,
Doreen
thanks, How do I contact Flare?
Thanks Doreen_P I have done some further reading and I'm actually really concerned by this.
I wasn't aware that our employees' sensitive personal information was being retained by Flare.
Looking at the screenshots of what they see when they onboard, they might reasonably expect they are only providing that information to us, their employer, as we do not use Flare for provision of employee benefits. I cannot see anywhere in the onboarding invitation that makes reference to Flare's privacy policy that would give the employee an opportunity to consent to this. Furthermore there are aspects to this privacy policy that are troubling to me, inlcuding potential disclosure to market research companies, recipients in a foreign country, and for purposes of direct marketing.
I thought that having the employee self-onboard was a great idea because I have been on the other end of trying to decipher people's handwriting and sweating over making a mistake entering their bank details. But I know for myself, I wouldn't be comfortable with some random company retaining all the information required to commit identity fraud and compromise my TFN. Especially one I hadn't voluntarily or knowingly engaged with. Even within our organisation, we keep access to that information very restricted, only management can access.
We will immediately be stopping using this onboarding function and I will be contacting Flare to destroy any personal records of our employees. I think MYOB should be contacting people and making them specifically aware of what it is doing with employee records, so that people can make their own informed decision.
Doreen_P also just so you know, the workaround doesn't work.
I have taken a snip of an employee who started in February and I received the MYOB email on 17/02 that they had completed their employment details. The option to view employee details and download anything is not there.
Vs employee who started in December and the view employee details and download pdf is available.
