    Hi LidiaP 

     

    Apologies for not making my previous response clearer. AccountRight 2019 works on the principle that the entitlement category will appear on payslips if the entitlement has been used i.e. had a value accrue for the current payroll year. When an employee is paid LSL, the amount is recorded against the wage payroll category but for the entitlement to appear on payslips the entitlement category needs to have a value against it. Recording a pay with a value against the entitlement category, then reversing that pay will show the entitlement balance on payslips.
     
    Based on my review of the documentation you have provided and additional documentation from other sources there is no required provision to have that information available on the payslips. it merely does need to be provided should the employee request that information.

Hi LidiaP 

 

Can I please clarify if the employee has taken LSL in this financial year?  If not, the accrual won't appear on the payslip until the entitlement is paid through Process Payroll. This is the same for all entitlements, they don't appear on payslips until they are paid through Process Payroll in the current payroll year.

 

If the employee hasn't taken LSL you can record a pay for 1 hour LSL, zeroing out all other amounts and hours, then reverse that pay. This will create a record of LSL being used in Process Payroll so the entitlment will appear on payslips.

 

Please let me know how you go with this.

    Hi Tracey,

    Yes, 2 employees have taken LSL this financial year (via the linled wage account). The LSL entitlement balance doesn't shown on their payslip.

     

    On the other hand: Due to legislation changes in LSL-Victoria, this entitlement balance has to be provided to the employee regardless if it was taken or not.

    I undertand that for the time being the LSL will not be available on payslips.

    I woul appreciate if MYOB could fix this ASAP so we can comply with the current LSL legislation.

    Thank you

        Hi Tracey,

        Thank you for suggestion.

        LSL balance is directly related to the employees working time.

        I've decided to keep track of the LSL entitlement in MYOB and not use external spreadsheets.

         

        As I previously mentioned, I added the balances of LSL at the end of FY 2019, but after the rollover to FY2020, LSL did not show on the payslips.

        Employees were taking LSL as per new legislation, but the decreased balance wasn’t showing.

        As per your suggestion, adding the accrued LSL for the current FY with a zero wage pay run, had fixed the issue and the LSL it is now sowing on the payslips.

        Thank you for your help.

        Suggestion for developers:

        As most of the entitlements are Carry Over Entitlements, they SHOULD be shown on the payslips after rollover to a NEW financial year, regardless if the entitlement accrues or not in the new FY.

        An example is TIME in LIEU (TIL), which has accrued during FY 2019, was carrier over to the 2020 FY, but will not necessarily accrue further in 2020. The 2019 TIL balance will not show on the FY2020 payslips as owed entitlement.

        The old desktop MYOB was doing the rollover of entitlement correctly and showing them on the payslips.

        I hope the new cloud version will able to do that without the tricks of creating and reversing payments.

        Thank you for your support on developing further the software.
