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

Come on MYOB for goodness sake, this is a basic function that would be an easy update for you, users have been requesting this for 5 years now.

This was raised 5 YEARS AGO and still MYOB has done nothing about it.
MYOB you need to add the LSL function to your payroll. This is a necessary function for employers. I have been using MYOB for 10 years now and dont want to have to change to another company but will if i cant track LSL through my currently subscription.
I appreciate if you add Long Srvice accruval fuction to MYOB Essentials. It is useful for the employers as well as for the employee.

Even if MYOB can't introduce Long Service tracking specifically, please allow us to be able to total the number of hours an employee works over any time frame.
Totally agreed that MYOB Essential should have the Long Service Leave accrual record similar to Annual Leave as it is already available in AccountsRight. This would be useful information for both the employer and employees. Please make it a priortiy. Look forward to the upgrade. Cheers!

At the very least, all pays should be CSV downloadable so that 7 years or 10 years of pay slips don't need to be painstakenly trawled through to come up with a figure. What a terrible thought!

We are wasting our time by commenting on this forum.
I lodged a written complaint directly to MYOB, and a formal complaint with the Qld Office of Fair Trading, regarding this very issue. MYOB's response was along the lines of that the product is what it is and they offer a 30 day free trial, so there. I don't believe they have any intention of making any improvements to the product.
MYOB Essentials is a sub-standard product. It has no capacity for recording LSL accruals. It doesn't even produce any meaningful reports which might help with recording it eslewhere. The payroll functions generally are inadequate, for example, it is impossible to make an adjustment, or correction, to an employees leave balances in anyway that creates a transparent audit trail.
I will be converting to Quickbooks. I've been using it recently for my husband's business and it is great. It's a far superior product and it is cheaper too.

Agree Henri. Few years ago I posted its a waste of time, as Myob said to me (finally), "if you need LSL, upgrade to AccountRight Live". The arrogance of never replying to the post irritated me. They should have just left Essentials without Payroll, for sole traders and mum and dad partnerships moving from "shoebox accounting" for the first time.
We agree ! surely this should be a minimum standand in Essentials considering its against the law not to pay long service leave.
