MYOB Payroll - Timesheet upload integration help?
Hi all, We use "MYOB Business Payroll Only" at the moment and there's few things i can't figure out or I don't think it supports. So i need to figure out the right version for us. 1. What version of MYOB can I upload timesheet data into? The various help docs on the site only say to 'turn on timesheets' but nothing about which versions you can do this in - and i can't find it in my version. We use Guardhouse for our timesheets - staff clock in/out there - and that says it produces an MYOB compatible timesheet report but i can't determine what version of MYOB it can be uploaded to. 2. Is there a version of MYOB that I can separate annual leave cash outs so we can keep these tracked? As we often have staff asking to cash out their 1 weeks limit per year, but I have to manually keep record of this and dates it was done at the moment. 3. Is there a version of MYOB where it easily tells me the dates alt/lieu days are earned (instead of having to run a report and do manual calculations) so I can determine when they are eligible to be paid out? 4. Is there a version of MYOB where it can report all MOJ/IRD/MSD fines/payments/deductions? At the moment this only reports Court Fines and Child Support - but if staff get IRD repayment notices, or MSD repayment notices it's all manual not done in here 5. Is there a version of MYOB where I can have it track the '6 month test' for casual staff, when it comes to sick leave and bereavement leave entitlements? As in NZ they have to work a certain number of days/hours within a continuous 6 month period before they are entitled to this, and having to manually track and calculate that for our large casual work force is really difficult. 6. Is there a version of MYOB where staff can view their leave balances without having to wait to receive their payslips? It's tracked through our MYOB at this is our pay system, so it's not also in Guardhouse incase the 2 ever don't match up for whatever reason. So staff can only currently see their balance on the bottom of their payslips. 7. Is there a way for / version of MYOB that will somehow mark/alert public holidays when processing pay runs? To ensure the public holiday loading has been applied. Thank you in advance!🟣 CA FAQ — My client has cancelled their MYOB Business or AccountRight file, why can I no longer access it in CA?
If an MYOB Business or AccountRight file configured in AE/AO has been cancelled, you will likely encounter an error when trying to open the Client Accounting tab, similar to the screenshot below: This is because the ledger data is stored in the underlying online file, not within AE/AO itself. You will be unable to open this client in Client Accounting unless it is reconfigured (for example, to an AE or AO Ledger), or the file is temporarily reinstated. To reconfigure, please contact the Client Accounting team via support channels, and we can assist you with this. To reinstate the file, the Owner of the subscription will need to contact our MYOB Business or AccountRight teams. Please note that there may be limitations on whether this can be done, dependent on how long ago it was cancelled. 🟣 Bonus: To help prevent issues like this, we recommend that practices ask clients to notify them if they plan to cancel a file subscription. Scott Client Accounting MYOB🟣 CA FAQ — I have created a new period in AE/AO (MYOB Business file), why do I have an out-of-balance?
If you have a client in AE/AO configured to an MYOB Business file, you may notice that after creating a new workpaper period, there is an out-of-balance in the Balance sheet (even if you have chosen to roll forward in the Trial balance / Workpapers window). This is because Client Accounting does not automatically roll forward the underlying MYOB Business ledger — this will need to be done as a separate step in the file itself. To resolve this, open your browser and navigate to https://app.myob.com/ Open the relevant client file Navigate to Settings > Business settings > Financial year Select Start new financial year Jump back into AE/AO Open the current workpaper period Under the Tasks menu, select Refresh ledger balances This should resolve the out-of-balance, and you're good to go! ☑️ Scott Client Accounting MYOB
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?
