Payday Super - being able to choose date of payment
Over Christmas period I do payroll in advance as I have only salary employees. With the current Payday Super setup in MYOB, super will be paid before staff get paid! There is currently no option to choose a future date to process and pay super. This is pretty vital as it makes no sense to not be able to choose a payment date and super being paid in advance of actual payday.
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 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.
Payday Super - Reminders for authorisation
I am quite surprised that it doesn't already exist - but there needs to be a function or something that can be set up for authorising payday super payments. We had set up payday super early to do a trial, and still been paying super monthly as we previously were, but last month it got missed because the authoriser forgot to authorise it in MYOB - but there was no reminder or anything to flag that it still hadn't been authorised... So it just sat there until we realised, and we ended up having to pay two lots in one month. The suggestion of a manual workaround (to add to the other millions of those we currently have) seems silly when the software already offers invoice reminders etc. Surely this can be streamlined in an update before July hits?Pay Super - ability to future date
With upcoming changes to Payday Super it would be extremely beneficial to be able to create a superannuation payment with a future date, authorise today and the payment is not taken out of the bank account until the future date. I often do payroll in advance when going on leave. With Payday super we need to pay super on the day of payroll. The current Pay Super in MYOB means that although the Pay Super is for a date in advance, that is effectively ignored and the money comes out of the bank account on the date it is authorised. This will put pressure on bookkeepers/payroll staff to have to either login on the payday to authorise super, or put cashflow pressure on businesses to pay super in advance of the payroll which seems illogical.
