Timesheet Tracking not linked to Payroll

Hi All,

Been onto your support team at length today regarding Timesheets being unlinked from Payroll.  Currently this is not an option and they suggested a request to the forum.

 

We have salaried staff (paid 4 weekly - 13 pays per year) looking to get employees to complete timesheets weekly through the MYOB Team Mobile App and allocate their hours to jobs (already set up in MYOB) We want to track their hours weekly to a job but NOT to be tracked in payroll as this will affect current salary format already set up for each employee. 

Currently MYOB only has 2 options: 

Time Billing & Payroll  or

Payroll

 

Both of the above track through payroll.  Our salaried staff don't have overtime and are not paid  hourly (their salary package includes any/all overtime).

 

We want to track employee timesheets hours so we can ascertain how many hours are worked against a job# so we can bill to client and check hours worked against proposed hours for initial budget.  We require another selection option, one that allows hours to be recorded against a job but not linked to payroll system.   

Surely there must be companies out there that need to track hours against jobs without it affecting/recording against their salary/payroll option.

 

thanks

    While reviewing this option in the forum TImesheet Tracking NOT Linked to Payroll....our trial shows the timesheets are 'clunky' for our needs. Having to have a start time and finish time for each job worked on... can we also look at the option of inserting a number of hours for each job rather than times start and finish ie 2 hrs, 5 hrs etc as we are NOT linking it to their payroll...time consuming for employees in the field when working on multiple jobs per day this might be a good option to be set up for NOT linked to Payroll option.  Also we have 560+ jobs in our system, there is nowhere you can start typing a job number and for it to appear, you have to scroll through the entire list of jobs to find your job and then allocate it to your timesheet, extremely frustrating & time consuming.  We have multiple people working on 4+ jobs a day, requiring a lot of time to search and enter details away from their job. We, as a company are looking to make it as easy as possible for the employee to enter the data required and move on with the work day otherwise they're not going to want to partake in the app lodgement and it's such a good tool for us to have as it's already our accounting program reports can be run and our trial has shown app is easy to use other than Timesheet - allocation/job# entry/hours.  The app can be fantastic, if we can fine tune a few things to suit employee use in the field and on remote locations moving forward I think you'd have a lot more content users :)

    Missed this. We work on multiple jobs per week, and very often the same job over different days, the ability to be able to use the notes/job/customer from previous day and COPY OR CUT IT into the new timesheet info would be a very valuable tool to have instead of starting from scratch every day. Would be great if this could be addressed too, thanks :)   

    Re my previous comment ......Thinking a search function for the job/customer scroll would be great addition to save time and allow ability to search a job number and/or customer if required rather than scrolling through over 560 jobs to get job number.
