Self Onboarded Employee not automatically coming up in banking
Hi, All my previous employees have been entered manually onto the payroll. To avoid entering all their bank details, I've always chosen "cheque" as their preferred payroll payment method, and I set their notification as "to be emailed and printed" but then just send emails. When doing the payroll each Sunday, the 'to be paid' amounts per employee automatically appear in my banking information (as if already paid), which helps with my data entry. My newest employee has been asked to Self Onboard, and chose "electronic payment" as her preferred payroll method. After 2 payment cycles, I've just realised she didn't automatically appear in the banking list as having been paid, so my MYOB data entry was out. I had to manually insert her payment into the account used, in the bank register but now the format is different (I have to choose an account, "wages expenses" rather than the automatic insertion of the employee name in "payee" and then have to manually type in her name in the memo). I've just changed the preferred payroll method back to "cheque" as I have her bank details. I don't use MYOB to pay my staff. Will changing the preferred payroll method "cheque" rather than "electronic" help? If not, I'd rather go back to manually entering and collecting paperwork from my future employees as more steps weekly is more work than me chasing up paperwork before hiring the employees. Thank you very much, Jackie202Views0likes1Commentemployee termination unused annual leave loading
Hi, I use MYOB AccountRight. I have just had an part time employee leave to take on another job. She has 15.30 hours of unused annual leave. I am aware it is a requirement to add the annual leave loading of 17.5% onto the payment of the unused annual leave, however there is no "unused annual leave loading" category. Am I supposed to create one, or just adjust the amount (by adding the extra 17.5% calculated on the amount of unused annual leave pre-calculated by MYOB software)? What is the best way to move forward without confusing the ATO or making a mistake? Thank you very much for your feedback, Kind Regards, Jackie BellSolved1.7KViews0likes2Commentstermination annual leave pay mistake
I have just processed a final payment for unused annual leave and long service leave for one of my employees. I've gone through all the steps including sending the information to the ATO via the STP and terminating the employee from my file and notifying the ATO . The employee then SMS'd me and let me know I didn't include the 17.5% annual leave loading in the final pay. How do I correct this, and how do I let the ATO know. Do I reverse or just try to do another final pay just with the annual leave loading and PAYG entered? What is the benefit of reversal over deleting and starting over again? Do I need to reinstate her first before I can correct this? Thank you very much for your help, Kind Regards, Jackie BellSolved1.2KViews0likes2CommentsLong Service Leave pay out on termination
Hi, I'm using AccountRight 2019.3. I'm in NSW. When I took over my business, one employee stayed with me. She has just left her job, after 12.5 years. She is entitled to 10.7900 weeks of accrued long service leave which I need to pay out. When I set up MYOB with payroll in 2012 when I took over, I didn't set up Long Service Leave entitlements per employee. I'm in the process of finalising her termination, and in step 2 I need to determine the outstanding entitlements. I've manually set up "Long Service Leave Accrual" as per your online advice, in payroll category, both in wages and in entitlement section. I set it up as "user - entered amount per pay period" as I didn't know how much % to enter in "hourly equals % gross wages". Then I clicked on employee and ok'd her. From the NSW long service leave website, I worked out she is entitled to 10.79 weeks, and as she has worked 38 ordinary hours per week for a long time, the hours owed worked out to be 410.02 hours. I entered them into her entitlement section of her payroll details in her card file, as "Carry Over". They do show up in the Total column. When I do step 2 of the Outstanding entitlements, the balance comes up as 0.00 hours accrued, 0.00 hours taken and 0.00 hours available. Why do the 410.02 hours not show up as carried over? I tried to do another balance, for end of last financial year, to see if the 410.02 hours show up there. But everything there is 0.00 hours as well. Should I process this differently? Have I made a mistake? She is the only employee currently entitled to long service leave so if I need to delete everything and start again, that is not a problem. Is it not showing because I have not entered a termination date in her file? I thought I can only do that after going through all the steps from determining outstanding entitlements to termination payments to terminating her via STP. Hope you can help!
