Year To date values on Pay Advices are not shown for payment categories not reported that week (eg sick leave paid value)

[geoff32]

If a payroll category is not need for the week but has been used for the year (e.g. Overtime or Sick Leave) the Year to date value for that category does not report on the weekly pay slip. Presumably that is something in the set up but I cannot ascertain what setting to change in the Cusomise Pay Slip forms section

Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find plenty of useful information.

This happens every year, AccountRight requires an entitlement to be used in a payroll year to be able to display it on payslips.

You could run a dummy payslip and add 1 to the each of the entitlement catergories and run the pays.

Then locate and reverse them so that the 1 is removed from the entitlements so that the correct totals remain.

The entitlements should now show on the payslips in future.

Hello

Thanks for the reply but that does not solve the problem.

in the 2018/19 year an employee worked overtime in week 51 and his YTD total for overtime was shown. In week 52 he did not work overtime and therefore his YTD for overtime then did not show. Obviously he was confused because when he checked his prefill information in his tax, the gross information did not match his last payslip for Year to Date because the year to Date overtime did not report on his week 52 payslip. Ultimately the amount sent to the tax office was correct but understandably the employee was confused and the payslip was not legal.

Hi @geoff32 

Do you have Setup>>Preferences>>Reports and Forms>>Include all YTD amounts and Entitlement Balances on Paycheque stubs enabled? If that is not enabled, it will not report the year to date information from payroll categories, not used on that pay.

Note: A payroll category does need to have been used in a payroll transaction in the payroll year to show up with that preference enabled.

Do let us know how you get on and if you require further assistance.

Thanks... It was set up but somehow had been unticked and it didn't trigger that was the problem
