payroll period dates

my pay week runs Wed to Tues and I pay on Wed.  Every week I have to change the "pay period start" date and  "pay period end" date.  Surley there is some sort of setting that can make myob remember this every week? rather than me having to change it all the time?

  • Hi lyndor,

     

    Thank you for your post. We understand that having to manually update these dates every week can be time-consuming, and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

     

    Generally, when you go to Payroll >> Process Payroll, the payment date is determined by the current date. For example, if you go to Process Payroll, the payment date will be November 9, 2023. This date is also used as the pay period end date, with the pay frequency selected determining the pay period start date. Regarding the setting feature that will make MYOB remember the pay period dates, we acknowledge that this would be more convenient for our users. We’ll definitely forward this to the relevant team for future updates to improve the user experience. We also encourage you to post in our AccountRight Idea Exchange for our developers' review and consideration. If you have any more suggestions or encounter any other issues, please don't hesitate to share them with us. We're here to help.

     

    Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

      Yes I see someone suggested it in July 2013 so probably no point me doing it. Cant imagine after 10 years they are suddenly going to impliment this simple ask

        Absolutely.  The whole idea with MYOB is for you to forget what people suggest.  Give it time and everyone forgets it.  Just like Covid :)
