Payslips email problems

We've been using MYOB Account Right for a long time. I currently do payroll on the desktop version of our AccountRight software even though we have an online account I find it easier to process payroll in desktop rather than online/web interface. For many months now I am experiencing an intermittent problem but it's quite a serious one for our business and employees. When I click on Print/Email Payslips after I've completed a pay run and click on 'To Be Emailed' the list of payslips to be sent is populated as it should, no worries. I select all and click on Send Email. Then I give it a minute and I click on Sent Emails. There are two issues happening at different times.

 

First issue, one of the employees who was on the previous screen and for whom I have selected to send a payslip to never actually appears on the Sent Emails list. Even up to hours later. Sometimes I check back the next day and still not there. Now I am ok to send it again and again when it never appears on the Sent Emails list but should I really have to be going back every payroll and double checking if it comes up as Sent and then go through the process to resend those that don't? It is very time consuming every payroll to be doing this because I can't trust MYOB payslip email functionality anymore.

 

Second issue is sometimes all of the employees who are meant to be emailed payslips do appear on the Sent Emails list. But they call me the next day to ask where their usual emailed payslip is. I ask them to check their spam/junk etc. Nothing. So they never receive an email that MYOB has listed on the Sent Emails list. When I send it again, they usually receive it (sometimes straight away, sometimes a few hours later). This is starting to cause issues for some employees who are feeling very frustrated with me when they have to call me again and again to tell me they haven't received their payslip but for me at my end on the Sent Emails list it looks like it has gone.

 

A similar error is happening with my invoices but I'll lodge that post in the appropriate section. It is also causing a lot of frustration for clients (and me) when they receive statements and have to call me to say they never actually recevied the invoice in the first place. Not good.

 

Help please.

  • Hi RC_Admin,

     

    Thank you for notifying us about the issue, may I ask if you received any notification regarding the email not being sent? Can you please check the default pay slip email address of the employee if it is updated. To check this go to Card File >> Card List >> Employee Tab >> Open the employee's card file >> Payroll Details tab, and then check the pay slip Email.  Kindly confirm if the section where you entered the employee's email address and option to send by email match. You can try changing the email option to Print & Email to test this too. 

     

    If that matches correctly can  you please check if the Print/Email Payslips >> Emailing >> Advanced Filters and ensure the tick box is not ticked. You may also check these helpful articles for the detailed information in doing troubleshooting : Email Troubleshooting, Set up AccountRight to send emails, and Viewing pay runs and pay slips, has detailed information and  and process that you can use a reference. 

     

    Feel free to write a post if you need further assistance.

     

    Cheers,

  • Hi Jem

    I'm frustrated with your response because you haven't actually resolved my issues but sent me on the pathways of which I have already troubleshooted before I lodged my post on the community forum. You have also directed me to suggested resolutions in the latter part of your response which has nothing to do with the issue I am experiencing. I only want to have the unsent payslips appear on my 'To be emailed list' because if I had all payslips on that list it would be ridiculous every payroll. Surely I am not alone in thinking that unticking that box in advanced filters is not the solution to the issue I am experiencing?

     

    1. I did not receive a notification to say that the email was not sent for either issue (where it was meant to send but didn't or where it says it was sent and never received). This has not happened with one employee but a number of them and not consistently but intermittently.
    2. Yes. The email address is correct. Yes. I have the option to send by email. And all other options are correct in their employee cards too
    3. What a ridiculous suggestion and nothing towards a resolution for these issues.

    And the 'helpful articles' do nothing to help resolve this issue either. I've been processing payroll in MYOB for a long time and being told to look at these help guides is not what I need to resolve this.
