It would be great to have long service accrual recorded similar to annual leave. This not only useful for employee but essential for employers. It is available on AccountRight why not make it available here. I feel like I'm going backwards in giving my employees information they need. Please make this a priority on Essentials. Can't be too hard. Cheers
Payroll: Long Service Leave Accrual

Partners all year have been asking for long service leave to be added to the features available in essentials. Without it, product can't truly handle all payroll functions for a business.
How can you sell a program that apparently does payroll but has no function to accrue and calculate long service leave. I have had a previous payroll package with MYOB that did this easily and now when i upgrade to the STP system it is not available but under legislation I need to account for this. This is not a payroll package.
Why do we have to vote/beg for this basic function and why does Essentials have a whole lot more useful functions available to NZ residents but not Australians?

I see the above post was July 2014 and still no option to accrue LSL in MYOB ESSentials payroll. Come on MYOB, this is a necessity at the very least!
I totally agree. Long Service Leave is the only other fundamental leave that needs to accrue and is so important to be included as standard like Annual & Personal Leave. Very disappointed with MYOB in not including this in their product . We can add any other leave like Compassion or Unpaid Leave but this one needs to accrue and be tracked.
I see this option still has not been updated since Sept 2014. Come on MYOB it is a feature that is required by so many.
Hi,
I just assumed (wrongly) that there woudl be the facitlity to calculate and track lsl and the lsl liabilty. Very disappointed that this is lacking. Also very disappointed to see how long this thread has been going! Come on MYOB!

Come on MYOB, this post has been around since 2014 and you haven't added this basic Payroll option.
Feature needs to be escalated given the push with STP.
MYOB Essentials must be updated to include management of long service leave entitlements.
Managing accrued entitlements for employees in a reliable and robust system is an essential part of payroll. An accounting system which does not manage all leave entitlements is grossly inadequate.
The only alternative solution offered is to record long service leave entitlements data in an Excel spreadsheet. I feel this is a cumbersome and inaccurate method and falls very short of best business practice.
I think the advertising for MYOB Essentials has been misleading and disingenuous. My business converted to MYOB Essentials as it was advertised as offering full payroll functions, however, this is not the case. I have complained directly to MYOB regarding this issue, both verbally and in writing. This has been met with indifference. I have since lodged a complaint with the Office of Fair Trading Queensland; this is pending.
Management, and potential mis-management, of leave entitlements has significant implications for employees earnings and, in turn, revenue for the ATO; thus, I have sent a letter to the ATO to inform them of this issue as they are a relevant stakeholder.
The function for managing long service leave entitlements already exists in MYOB AccountRight. It should be a fairly simple task to make this available in MYOB Essentials too. I would appreciate it if this could be resolved as soon as possible.
