Moving an employee from Salary Expense to Salary COS

Hi

 

I have been asked to move a F/T employee who is on salary from the normal expense salary account to a COS account as he is our sole maintenance person so they want the allocation of his costs separate to the rest.

 

I set up a Wages & Salary - Maintenance in COS along with a Superannuation - Maintenance.

The Maintenance SG and Salary I have set up as per below.

SG Maintenance.JPGsalary - maintenance.JPG

 

I have selected the Maintenance SG in the employees card file as their default and have also selected Maintenance Salary (MYOB does not allow for Base Salary to be deselected).

 

When I run the employees pay in a test run, the salary is going entirely to Base Salary and the Maintenance SG is calculating correctly only after I manually remove the Base Salary amount and enter it under Maintenance Salary.

 

Is the Maintenance Salary going to have to be entered manually each time, or is there a step I am missing?

 

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Re: Moving an employee from Salary Expense to Salary COS

Hi @BenchCBS 


When you produce a pay for an employee the system will look at the Standard Pay of an employee. If the standard pay does contain a value, which is likely in this case, it will pull that information onto the Pay Employee window. If you don't need to pay that value i.e. you don't want Base Salary but another category you would need to navigate to the Standard Pay and update the Amount field to remove that value and replace with another value if needed. For example, go into the Card File>>Cards Lists>>Select the employee's card>>Payroll Details tab>>Standard Pay>>Overtype the Base Salary value to be $0.00 and enter the dollar value against the required category (Maintenance Salary). 

 

From a superannuation point of view, I don't see any problem with the way in which the category is set up. Although, it is worth noting that as its a new category it will attempt to backdate the superannuation calculation for this month. So if you have a pay already in the system for August and need to another pay for the month then you would need to manually update the superannuation amount to be 9.5% for that pay. This will correct itself with a new month.

Kind regards,
Steven

Thanks @Steven_M 

 

That has corrected the issue. The SG is running at the correct rate of 9.5%.

 

Much appreciated.

 

Kind regards
