Part Pay Payroll Liability

We have several employees who have child support deductions coming out of their weekly pay. We have been paying these through the Pay Liabilities tab previously with no issues. 


We have recently been informed that we are now required to pay to the CSA for one of our employees on a weekly basis.

 

How can i part pay the child support liability through MYOB as when i go through Pay Liabilities it only shows the total amount of the liability, rather than the amount outstanding per employee (like in the pay superannuation tab). 

 

I want to ensure that a) we can pay this weekly with no issues and b) the liability amount reduces in MYOB to ensure that we don't then double pay it at the end of the month.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Hi LauraF 

     

    If you were trying to isolate just a single employee using Pay Liabilities the only other way you could do it, assuming the deduction amalgamates all of the employees would be to use a separate deduction category.

     

    This would allow you to keep the weekly deductions separate from the monthly ones and pay them weekly

    Hi LauraF 

     

     

    The Pay Liabilities window will detect all of the unpaid payroll liability for the nominated period and amalgamated into a single amount. The payment date of the pay determines which period it falls into.

     

    If you needed to pay the deduction on a weekly basis rather than a monthly one, you could reduce the date range to include the payment date of that pay. This will detect the amount of deduction to be paid for just that period, allowing you to pay it for that employee for that week

     

    As the Pay Liabilities window only reflects unpaid amounts, if you pay a portion of the deduction through the Pay Liabilities window, that amount will no longer display when you run those same dates again

      Thanks for your reply Neil_M 

       

      I still have the same issue if i isolate the dates to a pay day. They amaglamate into a single amount . I have 4 employees with Child Support Deductions each week, only 1 of them needs paying weekly.
