In the payruns window why cant we have an icon that tells us if that particular payrun has been STP reported?
This helps if there has been payruns doubled up and some of those payruns have or have not been submited. Most other software programs have this basic function.

Please include the option to include $0.00 payruns in the report.
As (multiple) payslips are more difficult to reprint now this report becomes more useful/important.
Zero payslips on the old essentials are included but those after the upgrade are not.

Before the 'upgrade' my pay run used to automatch with the transactions paying employees, but it isn't happening post 'upgrade'. Can we please bring it back?

Please revert enter employee and pay field to how it was on MYOB essentials prior to the update. Now when you choose to "enter pay" MYOB auto selects all employess so i have to unselect the ones i dont want then MYOB also auto fills payment figures for the employees which for my casual employees make zero sense! just like unselecting the employees i dont want to pay i now have to clear the auto entered pay fields MYOB suggests i pay my staff?! talk about making life harder!

Ability to add a note to payslips.
In the standalone payroll product it is possible to add a note to all employees' payslips. In Essentials only individual notes or a note via email is available. It would be very helpful to have the ability to add a common note to all payslips directly in Essentials Payroll. We use this to welcome new staff members and also to communicate Christmas lockdown periods. All staff members do not receive their payslips via email and it is tedious to type add the note to each individual's payslip. Could you please consider adding this functionality.

I'm the only employee and I take money as wages out of the company as the month progresses. This amount varies considerably. At the end of the month I do the payroll knowing that my take home pay (net) is some amount. I then do a game of hi/lo entering hours worked at a $100 hourly rate until I get the number I want in the take home column. MYOB should allow a reverse calculation of Gross/Super so I don't have to do this.

Can we please be able to delete payslips from the STP payroll reporting centr if they are MISTAKES that have NOT been sent. Deleted EVERYWHERE else, but apparently we cannot delete them from PRC page?

Be uselful to have a few more characters, especially for client who put individual information on each payslip - they are shearers..

Payslips can’t be edited to present in a different way that doesn’t confuse employees, e.g. the leave should show them the total hours or days they have to claim, not split the hours into alternative, available opening balance, and part-year estimate. This has caused confusion in our organisation with staff not understanding how much leave they have and why it looks different to what it used to under ACE payroll.

We should be able to look up the Superfund by USI not just name (even the funds' websites do not list their full legal name) this would save so much time.

PLEASE! Include option for those with a Withholder Payer Number (WPN) instead of an ABN so that we can use the Single Touch Payroll system software!

Instead of the STP filing step after "looks good" and before "processing" and "print payslips to finish" and "payrun complete" - could we have it at the end of the whole process? This would save having to do any adjusting pay runs. It should be the final step, rather than midway through the whole pay run process.

Currently, MYOB Essentials payroll function automatically calculates the PAYG withholding amounts based on the ATO tax tables for full time / part time employees (https://www.ato.gov.au/Rates/Fortnightly-tax-table/). However, there is no inbuilt function to automatically calculate the PAYG withholding for CASUAL employees by reference to the correct ATO casual tax table (https://www.ato.gov.au/Rates/Tax-table-for-daily-and-casual-workers/). This means thousands of small businesses with casual employees are reporting incorrect PAYG withholding amounts (as Essentials is calculated the amounts based on the incorrect tax table). Can you please add a dropdown box in the Employee Profile where the employer can select "Casual" employee, and then have the PAYG withholding calculated from the CORRECT ATO tax table? Thanks

Hi I am using Myob to keep track of my NDIS support worker wages. Payroll Item Transaction Report. The NDIS requires total cost per pay item. The report gives you a breakdown of gross totals including tax which is great, but I need it to also include super in this report. I am having to manually calculate the super from other reports taking time and as super changes depending on the employee. Anyone got any ideas or where do I submitt a feature request.

I have a client using MYOB Essentials who has requested that we calculate and pay their employees super from the first dollar they earn in a calendar month - no employee ever has a month below the $450 threshold for paying it, and they (the employees) find it confusing when they receive their payslip.
I know this has come up before (see links below) but has there been any change or update?

For contractors their tax type is Withholding Tax instead of PAYE. For all of those paying contractors need the wording on payslip to be changed in this way. For businesses in property management industry like us, we pay all property managers as contractors instead of as employees. So it is quite important for us to be able to change the wording on payslips. As well as the removing Ordinary Time line from it. Since their pays are not based on time, but on commission.
Many thanks

Would love to have had the function of bulk saving all the employees PAYG Payment Summaries for my records.
Unfortunately Essentials at the moment lets you email as a bulk however if you were to save or print you need to do it individually.
Super time consuming when you have in excess of 30-40 summaries. We save summaries in clients workpapers. AccountRight does have this function and we love it.
Thanks

An option to calculate penalty rates (including weekend rates and leave loading) as a percentage of the hourly rate through the Pay Item/Earnings section needs to be created - it would save many hours when setting up employees for any industry that has multiple penalty rates and will still save time for any industry who must pay leave loading.
In the Pay Items/Earning sections the following fields are required.
Name: [LEAVE AS IS]
Name for payslip: (auto feeds from Name: [can still be modified if preferred])
Rate: Per hour/Fixed Amount/Percentage (of hourly rate)
Amount:
Tax:
This would save MANY hours of set up and was available in previous versions of MYOB (Previously used Premier 19).

Payagent will only process a pay run on the day it is submitted (before 4pm). For small businesses where the owner is on holiday/sick and not always in contact with the internet and in addition IRD wanting PAYE processed each payday shortly, would it be possible to change the software to enable submission of a payrun with an advance date(s) please? (reposted in the requests section)
