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

Hourly Rate for Annual Leave
Hello - i've been using essientals for a year now. Really miss not having a support person to contact. When calculating AL should an addition such as rent boost up the hourly rate when on annual leave? The employee doesn't actually pay rent as its a deduction as well so nets itself off but they are taxed on the amount. Thansk in advance for your help.

Incorrect value for gross earnings
I have a final pay at 30/06/2022 and therefore a calculation of the value of annual leave to process for 7 employees. This requires two steps. 1) Leave entitlement in hours is paid at the higher of ordinary weekly pay or average weekly earnings. and, 2) Eight % of the gross earnings since the most recent increment of the leave entitlement was recognised on the employees anniversary date. We are on a monthly pay run. I have an anniversary date of 3/08/2021 and a termination date of 30/06/2022. I calculate the gross "earnings prior to current pay run" as as 49,583.20 the sum of the monthly pays (4,583.33 4,583.33 4,583.33 4,583.33 5,208.31 5,208.28 5,208.33 5,208.33 5,208.30 5,208.33) from 31/08/2021 to 31/05/2021. Add June pay 5208.30 we get 54,791.53 which is multiplied by 8%. MYOB Essential payroll gives me 44,374.87 "earnings prior to current pay run" which is the pays from 31/08/2021 to 30/04/2022. So that value is too low by one month's gross pay which I assume is the 31 May 2022 pay of 5,208.33. 44,374.87 and add current month June pay 5,208.33 equals 49,583.20 which is multiplied by 8%. Which calculation is correct? And why? Thanks you!

Employee often works more than 40 hours - leave entitlement
Hi, I'm using Ace Payroll. I have an employee and contract states that the hours will be 40 hours but will need to work more hours when requested. They often work more than a 40 hour week. When setting up their employee details I ticked the "works irregular hours" option since they often work more than an 8 hour day. Is this correct or should I enter in Mon to Fri as 8 hours each day and will Ace Payroll calculate at what rate to pay the annual leave eg more than say 8 hours at $20 per hour or will it just calculate based on a standard 8 hours? Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks
