It seems such a backward step that MYOB has absolutely no facility to automatically accrue long service leave and therefore requires users to keep separate records by way of spreadsheets etc. Seems t...
Hello Belinda,
What you ar after might possibly be found in a high-end payroll programme that would cost you many thousands per year to own and operate. you should not expect that this functionality would be in a relatively inexpensive general purpose accounting passage like MYOB Account Right.
I can well immagine the complexity of such a payroll package to have iincluded and to be kept up to date the differing requirements of each state's legal requirements, various awards, full-time and casual employees, average hours over a period and industry LSL portable funds.
As Ron has pointed out however previously, the accrual of LSL in MYOB is handled well for most situations already. Have you looked at the various MYOB Support Notes on the subject?

You mention that the accrual should automatically turn on when 7 years service has passed. I have some clients who want to accrue from day one of employment, others who consider that they want to accrue after 5 years as the employee is likely to get to seven, and others who want to start at 10 years. there is no hard and fast understanding of the issue.
Best regards
