STP Phase 2 requirements
I have just moved from Reckon to MYOB and am having issues with payroll set up. Under STP Phase 2 I have to disaggregate Task Allowances and Leave Loading. Each employees hourly rate is separated ...
Forum Discussion
Thanks for that Genreve. I have another issue now. My standard pays are calculating incorrectly (For example. Employees total hourly rate ($50) is separated into base hourly($46), task allowance($4) and leave loading ($1)
If i put their hourly rate of $50 in on the Wages tab the base hourly on the Standard Pay Tab calculates on the $50 not the $46. If I put the $46 in the Overtime calculates on that amount not their total hourly.
I'm hoping someone can help.
Hi CCGOffice,
Your rate sounds like it needs a little calibrating. What you’re seeing is actually how AccountRight works. The hourly rate on the Wages tab is the same rate that flows through to Base Hourly on Standard Pay, so it can’t be $50 in one place and $46 in the other.
For STP Phase 2, the important bit is that you split the pay into separate payroll categories, for example:
- Base Hourly at $46 (Gross payments)
- A Task allowance pay item at $4/hr (Task allowance)
- A Leave loading pay item (e.g., 17.5% on leave hours)
That way, an ordinary hour still totals $50, but STP 2 sees each part separately.
Overtime in MYOB is designed to multiply the Base Hourly only (so it uses $46). Whether your allowance or loading should also apply to overtime depends on the award/EA, so it’s best to double‑check that with your advisor. If you have any further help, I recommend reaching out to our support team by creating a ticket on the My Account page or connecting with live chat through MOCA, our virtual assistant.
