Payroll: All Purpose Allowances

[Jen_M]

MYOB does not have a solution for All Purpose Allowances in STP2.  All purpose allowances need to be reported separately to the ATO from hourly rate and most leave payments, but must be included in an employee's hourly rate for overtime, leave loading and cash out of leave calculations (not disaggregated).  Setting up numerous new overtime and leave categories for each individual's hourly rate to do this is NOT a solution.  Dollar values on entitlement reports are also incorrect as a result of not being able to link APAs to an employees hourly rate.

Please provide an option when setting up hourly rate categories to strip out APA to report when required, or when setting up allowance categories an option to add to hourly rate when required.

This has been an ongoing saga for over 12 months and needs to be addressed urgently please!

Agreed, just got off the phone with them and they do not have a solution at all. 

"A limitation of the software" it has been called. 

This is not the first time we have called MYOB about this. Each time the issue came to a complete surprise, as if it was not existing for the last year and a half. 

Setting up numerous categories isn't only NOT a solution, it also still requires to calculate Leave loading manually and what even is the point of having a software, when you still need use an excel spreadsheet with it?

MYOB, we can only agree with Jen, this needs to be addresses as a matter of urgency.

How are we going with this all purpose allowance disaster, MYOB? 

Again, would like to point out, that this has been 'with the development team' and in multiple forums for nearly 2 years....

So, where is the development team at with this??
