Activate Super payments for minor employees
I am located in NSW have an employee who is 13years old. She will be working around 7-14 hours per month on weekends and possibly some additional shifts during her school holidays. However during her school holidays recently when she was shadowing another employee and training she worked for 32h in one week. In New South Wales: -there is no minimum legal working age, -there is no limit to the number of hours that a minor can work during school holidays, -if a minor works more than 30h in a week, an employer MUST pay super for that employee The MYOB superannuation payment module is not set up to enable super payments for minors. When I try to create a super payment for her, I get the error message "Employee must be older than 13 to receive super." I have searched the ATO and Fairwork and I find that there are no ATO guidelines or rules or laws preventing payment of super to any employee under the age of 18. I would like MYOB to please update to the software to allow super payments for minors.
MYOB Teams - Varied Duties Roster
The MYOB Teams application is a great start being very simple and easy to use. However it really lacks any real and common roster requirements that mean you need to manually enter in this information in a timesheet which completely the defeats the purpose of using it. In our case this means we have no choice but to continue using 3rd party roster app, TANDA. But what would be great is if the MYOB Teams had the following basic functionality made available: We have different payroll categories already created in MYOB Payroll which enables us to apply higher pay rates for specific roles that our employees may undertake e.g. Supervisory vs normal worker etc. There are also other entitlements that apply to these types of shifts e.g. First Aid, Uniform etc. All that is required would be the ability to add this to the roster for a specific shift. Secondly if there was also the ability to create some simple shift rules around breaks e.g. any shift greater than 5hrs attracts a 30min unpaid or paid break depending on applicable awards. These simple but important additions would then enable us to use MYOB Teams exclusively which we would be keen to do. We would be more than happy to volunteer as a test site if that helped.

Superannuation payment delays and notifications
Can anyone at MYOB explain why it takes (generally) up to five days to process employee superannuation payments? My own SMSF account is just a secondary bank account within CBA, but still up to five days between debiting my business account and receiving the funds into my SMSF account. Same bank, and my normal payment transactions are basically instant. It reeks of short-term money market interest grabbing from MYOB, the benefit of which should be going to our employees not MYOB. Also, why can't MYOB send an immediate Superannuation payment notification to my employees? Surely this is as simple as our every day payroll advice. I suspect MYOB do not want to be exposed for holding funds in the short-term money market. Prove me wrong MYOB.... I'm not sure how Xero works in this space, but it's certainly worth investigating.
Payslip emailing Scheduling
I think that scheduling the emailing of payslips is a great feature. Especially for those who need to send payslips while away, or those who process the payroll a few days before emailing the payslip. I process payroll every fortnight and would like to email the payslip on a regular date and time. However, because this feature does not exist, I have to access MYOB again only for the purpose of emailing the payslips. This is particularly frustrating when you are overseas, at different time zones.Superannuation payment delays and notifications

MYOB Teams for salaried employees
When will salaried staff be able to use MYOB Teams for leave requests. We do timesheets in Aroflo but that still requires manual calculation of pays in Excel before transferring the info to MYOB to have an accurate record and audit trail. MYOB has never had the option to add leave requests in advance so that means having to keep a manual record of leave requests, sometimes months in advance, and remember to process them in the correct payrun. We have 10-12 staff which is enough of a headache but larger businesses must struggle with this or have to use 3rd party software. MYOB really needs a leave management system incl submitting leave requests, an approval process, a leave calendar, leave balances showing in the Teams App for salaried staff but also hourly staff. FYI, XERO has had this (excl the calendar) from the beginning.
