Payroll: Child Support Protected Earnings

It would help if in a future MYOB releave that a standard payroll category deduction was created for Child Support payments which includes the Government stipulated Protected Earnings threhhold.

 

If that happened then the Child Support amount could be entered for each employee and if they earn less than the protected earnings threshold, then the Child Support would not automatically deduct.

 

Seeing that a large number of people are subject to Child Support payments, and that many employees are now Part Time or Casual, this really should be a standard MYOB feature.

    Hi,

    It would be handy to have an area to set 'protected eanrings' when setting up a child support deduction. As it stands at the moment i need to remember that employee's protected earnings amount and ensure i manually stop the deduction if he has not earned over that amount.

    Many years ago MYOB had that feature, not sure why they got rid of it

    It is 2020 and still there is no protected earnings set up in payroll. This is a necessary implementation as many employees are casual workers whose pay fluctuates with each week's earnings.

    I see on two community posts regarding setting up the Child Support Protected Earnings amount in Australia that MYOB has decided to ignore the requests of their clients.  Surely after 11 years since this post on August 2013 you would have considered the request as being necessary.  You have introduced the ability to send information to the ATO, Services Australia via a portal but not capable of creating this minor fix.
