Time off in Lieu - accruing annual leave, personal leave etc
I set up some employees for Time of in Lieu following exactly the instructions by MYOB on line and it seems to work well. I didn't exempt TOIL from accruing Holiday, sick and Long Service leave - mainly because I didn't think that part through too carefully (ie if it's overtime it probably shouldn't accrue). I'm waiting to hear back from my client as to whether TOIL accrues entitlements in their award. What I did notice though, is that set up how it is, exactly as per the Wiki instructions, both earned and taken TOIL accrues annual leave, sick leave etc. I assumed this must be the correct way to to do it. The problem is that if I put say 10 hours earned (accrued) into the payrun, it then accrues a % of entitlements which is fine but then if I pay (take) 10 hours, it accrues the % again so doubles up on the entitlements! The staff all compare their pay slips at this client and have complained that they are all accruing differently whic his true and I didn't notice. They all have different deals for TOIL and this seems to be what is causing the problem but I don't know why or how to fix it!Solved3.7KViews0likes2CommentsSTP finalisation not acknowledged by ATO
I've received through my BAS Agent portal notification that one of my MYOB ARLive client's STP has not been finalised as of today - 10th Aug. I finalised it on the 5th of July and I've attached a snippet of the finalisation confirmation. My other ARLive files have updated in the ATO OK. Is this a MYOB error to not actually send it through to the ATO every time? I've emailed ATO via my practice mail with the attached jpeg too but I'm not expecting any reply within 3 months. Does MYOB know about this issue? Do you know how I can fix it.258Views0likes1CommentRe: Time off in Lieu - accruing annual leave, personal leave etc
Hi! It's not overtime however we did get to the bottom of the problem. The trick is to decide which one you will accrue annual leave on (assuming the TOIL is not Overtime) and exempt the other. In my client's case, it now doesn't accrue on earned but accrues only on taken. Previously neither were exempted so it accrued twice each time. Thank you for your input.3.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: Long Service Leave
Hi Janine That was the other trap. When you put the figures in the Balancing Adjustent Column, it looks fine when you press OK. It was only because I need to change one of them again and drilled back into it that I saw it had deducted it all! Then I went back and checked all the others and they'd all done the same thing. If I hadn't had to go back into one of them, I'd have charged the client for the work and then looked like an complete idiot a few months down the track when there is no sign of it, let alone if a year or two rolls by.821Views1like2CommentsRe: Long Service Leave
Hi Neil I have done a Void pay but annoyingly this then shows the lump sum amount in YTD which is confusing as really it's not this year to date. But at least it's in! I can't see why this would be considered Best Practice. Thank you for passing on my comments.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Long Service Leave
Hi Neil Thank you again for your reply. I agree, in my own experience too, it's very straightforward to add the balance entitlement and it flows through to the total for that employee but this is the first one I've had to do in 2020.2 as as you can see from my previously loaded screen shot, it's deducting it out instantly all on its own. Good point in relation to being set to carry over entitlement from previous years but I just checked and this was set up from the start and as you know, once set it can't be changed so that's not the issue. There were definitely no previous years' adjustments in place as not only has the file only been set up since 2018, they weren't accruing any entitlements at all as the person who set up the payroll didn't know how to do it so didn't do it! So the solution is that 2020.2 is not working as per all the previous versions that we've been able to add missing entitlements very easily? That has been a lovely clean function over the years to able to fix entitlements easily in the card. Now it's a trap. I only spotted it because I had to go back and double check and realised it had deleted it! Should the technical department be advised of this glitch? How do I do that? Or am I wasting my time and no one there cares? I'm starting to wonder of late!1.7KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Long Service Leave
Hi Neil Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the difference between positive and negative. It only allows me to enter in one column - so I put my positive number in (because we're adding LSL that hadn't been accrued for years when it should have been), MYOB then in the next column minuses out the same amount and brings it back to zero, negating my positive number. I'm unable to enter or adjust anything in any of the columns other than the first one. Doing a zero pay is a bit of a pain and if I stuff it up, it's gone via STP too. Are you saying that in 2020.2 the function to add hours to the employee card for adjustments is now just another glitchy thing that doesn't work anymore? If so, they need to remove the wiki instructions.1.7KViews0likes10CommentsLong Service Leave
I'm trying to add LSL figures to the entitlements on the cards of two employees in 2020.2 (this new client had not been accruing them so I worked out the correct figure for the balancing adjustment which is normally a very simple process. However, it no longer looks the same as the instructions available here which shows 3 columns being Carryover, YTD, Total. https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/ar/Long+service+leave#expand-IhavejustsetupthisentitlementbutsomeemployeesarealreadyentitledtolongserviceleaveHowdoIupdatetheemployeesleavebalance What I now have is 4 columns being Balance Adjust, Carryover, YTD and Total. The only one I can manually enter anything into is Balance Adjustment. When I put the figure in, say 100 hours to Balance adjustment, the carryover figure then showed -100 hours and nil to date total. So it's wiping out whatever I bring in!! None of the other columns let me enter anything. Is this yet another glitch or am I doing something wrong? I've taken a photo of the columns so you can see what it's done.Solved1.9KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Accounting on the go - free with your subscription
That's fantastic! I'm downloading the OntheGo App now. Actually the Pay Direct App is really good anyway except for not being able to use item invoices on an Andriod - but that's all up and running too. Thanks very much for letting me know!11KViews1like0Comments
