NZ Payroll - Payday filing weekly
If weekly payday filing gets rejected (for any reason) is it possible to receive an email or a type of notification advising straight away. This was not something I thought that I needed to check on a weekly basis and assumed everything was right until a had a mix up with employee tax numbers and I had 6 payday filings rejected! Hence, I received a call from Inland Revenue 6 weeks later asking why I hadn't submitted my weekly filing and went on to charge me late filing fees, + interest. A simple notification would have saved me a lot of manual work and fees and the problem would have been solved after the first rejection. Thank you for considering my request. Angela.
Option to add other pay items in MYOB Team timesheets
We have recently started using MYOB Team for some of our staff to submit their timesheets. How would we manage this when a public holiday occurs? It seems employees can only enter their working hours or request leave, but when a public holiday occurs (not worked), how will employees enter this on their timesheets? Or does this have to be manually entered before processing the payroll? We also have apprentices that attend TAFE - we like to record these days in a separate pay item than just normal time worked so we have a record of whether the apprentice was physically at work or if they were at TAFE. Similar idea with things such as community service leave (most commonly jury duty in our company) or other types of leave that don't necessarily accrue week to week but employees are entitled to (compassionate leave, etc.). They seem to only be able to submit leave requests for leave entitlements in which they are accruing - like annual leave and personal leave. I was hoping MYOB teams could have our staff complete their timesheets in a more in-depth self serve manner, and all I would need to do in payroll is make sure their manager has approved their timesheet and complete a final check to make sure there is sufficient leave accruals, etc.
Refund of salary sacrifice outside of the financial year
One employee resigned and was paid out in June 2026. In July 2026, an end-of-lease reconciliation identified that the employee sacrificed $ 1,000 more than they needed to during the financial year, and a refund of salary sacrifice is being provided to us on 31/07/2026. We have finalised the STP report. I understand that for FY2026, we need to decrease gross by $1,000 and decrease salary sacrifice type O by $ 1,000 to fix this. What are the steps to take in MYOB AccountRight to fix this?
Employment Leave Bill
With the proposed New Employment Leave Bill currently under discussion, I'd be interested to hear where MYOB is from a payroll provider perspective. Has MYOB started assessing the potential system changes that may be required, and is there any guidance on what payroll teams should be doing now to prepare if the Bill becomes legislation? It would also be great to hear from other payroll professionals — how are you planning ahead for these potential changes? Are there any key areas you are reviewing or preparing for within your payroll processes and systems? Any insights, timelines, or recommendations from MYOB and the wider payroll community would be greatly appreciated.
Pending authorisation
My clients paid additional superannuation manually. I have reversed the last payroll and reprocessed it to include the additional superannuation. This now shows as pending authorization. How do I fix this as it is already paid? This pay does not show on the YTD verification report, is that because the super has not been authorised? How do I fix this?
STP finalisation RFBA component only $0 pay
Hi guys I'm trying to report the RFBA (under section 57A) for an employee who had $0 pay in FY26 but I requires the RFBA component $2800 (grossed up value) to be reported as part of STP finalisation for FY26. to do this- I processed a $0 pay run and also temporarily removed the termination date so I could update this under the STP finalisation section. However it keeps prompting an error message..'something went wrong..' any idea how to fix this? Thanks heaps
Knowing which Authorisers have approved.
We have a constant battle with PaySuper authorisation and that is while only doing it monthly, so this is going to be a nightmare in the new financial year. The system is very clunky at present. If it shows that it is only partly authorised, we then have to try and work out which one of the authorisers didn't complete the job. This can be difficult due to locations and contact with authorisers. If we could see which Authorisers have approved, it will make it easier for follow up.
