Opt-out of Benefit program in Flare
I like the option to use MYOB for electronic onboarding and had noticed the tick box for flare benefits ticked by default. I always unticked this as we do not wish to be a middleman for services or benefits that are unvetted by us. It seems that Flare is still getting the information and may contact staff for offers even if we have unticked the box during the invite. I also find it objectionable to have this ticked by default. This should be opt-in and not opt-out. Please change this to prevent data leaks now or in the future.
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.
Sending Update Event to ATO Creates Zero Payslip To Be Emailed to Employee
When I click on "Send update event" to the ATO through the Payroll Reporting Centre, it creates a zero payslip for every employee, including employees who have ended their employment in the current Payroll Year. The problem is that MYOB creates the Zero Payslip with a 'To be emailed' or a 'To be printed' flag. I then have to click into every pay slip and change it to Already Emailed or Printed. This is labour intensive and unnecessary. Really a WHS issue. If MYOB need to create a zero payslip to send an update even, program it to mark the payslip as Already Printed and Emailed. Many thanks Elizabeth
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. Kind regards, Andrew Taylor
Child Support - Protected Earnings
Hi Team, it would be useful if there was an option to enter the employees protected earnings for child support deductions so a warning at least would remind the user to check that employee. I image if there are several employees having child support deducted it would become difficult to track each individuals protected earnings per pay and quite time consuming. Unless there is already a funtion that I am not aware of. Thank you
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.
