Paying Annual Leave after Parental Leave
Hi I am using MYOB Payroll 2024.1 - for NZ Payroll. I have an employee who took 12 months of parental leave, and six months after returning to work she wishes to take some annual leave, of which was accrued and became annual leave whilst she was on parental leave. For clarity when she went on parental leave she had no annual leave owing to her, and some accrued (which turned into annual leave owing on her anniversary date whilst she was on parental leave). I understand that any annual leave accrued whilst on parental leave gets paid out using the AWE for the 12 months immediately before the annual leave is taken. I have tried using this support note (https://enterprise-support.myob.com/suppr/setting-up-an-employee-on-parental-leave-and-payin#expand-2Payingannualleaveupontheirreturn) to process the annual leave in the above mentioned situation. I am able to follow the instructions right up to selecting the option to "Use Average Weekly Pay". I am able to select this, however when I do so this still calculates Average Weekly Pay based on the past 4 weeks, rather than the past 52 weeks as required by NZ legislation in this situation. How do I override the 4 weeks so that it calculates the Average Weekly Pay over 52 weeks? I apologize if this has been asked on another post, I tried searching for relevant posts, but the only one I found was from 2-3 years ago and whilst it didn't appear to have a complete solution the replies have been closed. Thanks in advance, Gemma
Payroll: Entering opening balances (Australia)
ThanksLiam_M- I ended up entering the history by monthly pay runs. Everything balances back to trial balance now and manual version completed - YAY:smileyhappy: Thanks for the tip on the payment summaries too .. will have to remember that one however I think for the clients it is best to have the history to avoid errors if they need to run reports. Especially now their old accounting system is not going to be active. Can you please transfer this post to the recommendation page as a future enchancement to have the ability for us to update payroll history in the employee card files it would save a lot of work when doing conversons:smileywink: Love your work, Booksinthecloud "Re: Payroll History - MYOB Essentials conversion from another product"
