Payday Super Payments Steps

Couldn't find it in a quick check of the steps involved to pay super with my weekly payroll, but after prcessing pays, went to 'Pay Superannuation' (changed the dates to match this weeks payroll) but no employees listed - blank page

 

All employee funds are correct, listed to be paid etc and updated as per steps described and last week's pay / super (1st time) was completed without this issue.

 

What I suspect is as I had not actually issued the payslips, the 'Pay Superannuation' page was blank - previous week I may have issued the payslips. Once I issued payslips went back in some frustration to try again to work out what is different from last week - suddenly all the information was there to process the super

 

My question is this correct that Payslips have to be issued BEFORE attempting to 'Pay Superannuation'? Or am I too fast for MYOB 'Pay Superannuation' and need to give it time to 'think' or some other reason?

    Hi Eastside

     

    Thanks for testing that and sharing what you found. It does seem odd, as issuing the payslips appears to have resolved it in this instance.

     

    That said, there isn’t any published help article confirming that payslips must always be issued before using Pay Superannuation, so I wouldn’t want to say that definitively based on this alone.

    Hi  We are having the same issue whereby we do the pays normally and then go to the "Pay Superannuation" tab, put the current pay period dates in and no employees are listed.  How do we get the employees to be listed?

    Hi 61Myaree54​,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. If no employees are showing in the Pay Superannuation window, it usually means MYOB isn’t picking up any super amounts that are currently due for payment.

     

    A couple of things to check:

     

    • Make sure the employees have actually accrued super for that pay period. You can check this in the Payroll Activity [Detail] report.
    • Check that the employee’s super fund is set to Pay directly from AccountRight in the Superannuation Fund Information window. If this isn’t ticked, the employee won’t appear in Pay Superannuation.
    • In the date filter, make sure you also include the date the pay was paid, not just the pay period dates.

     

    If everything looks right and they still don’t appear, it can also help to double-check the employee’s super fund and payroll setup. You can also follow the troubleshooting steps here: Troubleshooting Pay Super payments.

     

    Regards,

    Sai

    Hi Thank you for the quick response.  I checked the Payroll Activity Report and Pay directly from AccountRight.  I put the date that the pays are actually being paid, which is tomorrow, not the end of the pay period date and the list came up and that seems to have worked that way.  Thank you.
