Paid Parental Leave
I have a staff member who is going on PPL in a few weeks and I am trying to make sure I am sorted as it has been over 5 years since I last had to deal with PPL and obviously not in the new Payroll system. I see there are 2 options on how to deal with PPL, (excluding the employee, or including the employee from pay runs) and the easiest for me is to exclude the employee. MYOB says to add a termination date and then re-instate the employee when (if) they start back, however I am worried that this would mean they aren't accruing the Annual Holidays they are entitled to? Previously in the old system you were able to go into the employee tab and change their status to 'on PPL' so I am just wanting to double check I am doing it correctly. Also, we were told last year that the Split Pays function would be back this year - do we have an updated time frame for this as I have staff asking for this to happen? Thanks in advance :-)
Taxation of extra pay when employment ends
Hi, The release notes for MYOB payroll desktop version 2025.1 included the above note re: taxation of extra pay when employment ends. The extract notes the change to the annualised calculation to now be based on two weeks instead of four weeks; however, the IRD website is still stating the calculation is to be based on four weeks? MYOB - can you please advise where this change was initiated from? Also, the old calculation of 4 weeks was multiplied by 13 - are you now suggesting the two weeks to be multiplied by 26 instead?
Pay run in wrong financial year
I have a pay run that ended on 30th March (EOY) which I didn't process until 2 April and didn't realize that it would go into this current financial year totals and had already submitted it to the IRD, how do I reverse this pay run so that it reflects in our totals for YE 31/3/25 and how do I reverse the submitted IRD payment. Much appreciated for any help. Thanks2025.1 Payroll Incorrect Gross YTD Calculation
Hi, I have a spreadsheet I track MYOB payroll annual leave in due to historic issues, up until we applied the 2025.1 update, everything has tracked 100% in synch, as of this update, the Gross YTD calculation used in both Annual Leave and in the employee Audit reports seems to limit the gross value to the last 52 pays instead of using the full years date range. I.E. Today is 26/03/2025, a payroll run processed on 27/03/2024 is NOT included in the gross YTD figure used in the annual leave calculation or in the Employee Audit report (starts with first payroll run in April) The above logic is not strictly correct either, the prior payroll processing date was last Wednesday so 19/03/2025, to get a full 52 week value, then the calculation should be for the date range of 20/03/2024 (Take last finalised date then add one to day, deduct one from year) up to & including 19/03/2025 which in that case would include TWO additional payroll runs from the 20/03/2024 & the 27/03/2024. As any errors in payroll fall back on the employer as being at fault, this sort of error really does not help matters at all. I have paid 2 x employees based on my spreadsheet calculated hourly rate as today, I trust that more than the payroll package & have included the values from the two missing payroll runs in March 2024. Please fix ASAP. Cheers, Phil
Payday filing - "Submitting" status disappears, returns to 'Not Submitted"
Hello. I am submitting Payday Filing to IR and the status changes from yellow "Not Submitted" to light blue 'Submitting" status. I navigate away and come back to check and it has returned to yellow 'Not Submitted" again. Have tried multiple times and keeps happening. Can anyone help? ThanksNZ desktop payroll on Parallels with ARM
Does anyone know how to get NZ Payroll (green desktop payroll) working on Windows ARM? I've been running Macs for years using Parallels with absolutely no issues. When I updated to a Macbook Pro last year with Parallels (all current including all Mac & Windows updates) I haven't been able to get the payroll working at all. I've been told it's an "ARM" issue. Has anyone come across this and know how to get it working? I'm sick of running two computers to do wages & can't do Online Payroll for these wages & really gutted this software has been left behind while none of the other payroll options are anything like it in reporting or processing. Many Thanks Bex
