Cards: Employee birthday notification

Every other database I work in professionaly that colects birthdays actually has interface that allows birthday emails to be sent out automatically let alone remind me automatically that its someones birthday.  I too use this contact log but what a big hassle and such a backward way of doing things!!!!!  Come on MYOB web based software is just the start of your woes -  the simple features like this berthday alert being requested make you light years behind your competitors.

 Hello Kerryn KLP

MYOB can be setup to do what you want by using the Contact Log in the Cards.

firstly in Setup / Preferences /  Windows select the option to Display the To Do List when opening.

Then open the employee card and open the Contact Log tab.

Now when you open MYOB or click on the TO DO LIST at the bottom of the screen you wiull be reminded of the birthday so you can change ther rate.

you could open it from here and change the recontact date to the next year.

Cheers

David

A feature that I think would be very useful to anybody who does payroll... when you go to do a pay run and put in the start and finish date of the pay run, wouldn't it be great if MYOB alerted you that one of your staff had a birthday during the pay period???I would find this particularly useful as a bookkeeper as I do the payroll for several businesses, so don't know the staff personally.  Many businesses employ 'juniors' which means the pay rate needs changing if they have a birthday.  A popup would be so much more useful than having all employee birthdays from several different businesses in my email calendar.

It would be great if MYOB would remind the operator when an under age employee had birthday so that the wage rates could be changed.

Also whwn an apprentice reached 2nd or 3rd year anniversary.
