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
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.
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.
Payslip Total YTD
Please allow payslips to show a total YTD, not just the YTD for each category. Employees shouldn't have to log onto the ATO or request the figure from the employer each time they want to check (we have a number of categories listed on payslips so is a complete pain to have to add all of them each time your curious about your YTD). It should be straight forward for an employee to view their YTD each time they view their payslip.
Allow to set extra PAYG as percentage not set dollar amount
Oh, I'm really loving having to think of all the same ideas I already suggested over the last 10-15 years so I can add them again because they weren't trending well enough to be included in the new ideas exchange. Flat rate extra tax does not work well for casual employees. We are often asked to deduct an extra 5 or 10 percent and have to work this out manually each week. It would be great if we could use a % option for extra tax in addition to the flat rate. Flat rate is fine for permanent employees but if your hours fluctuate significantly, it's not okay.MYOB Employee Self-OnBoarding Email Notification and Backup of Data Submitted
Clients have suggested it would be preferred to receive copy of new employee self on-boarding data via email to advise that the client has completed the input of data and to have a trackable version. This will in the event the data doesn't update or submit as it has done on occation for payroll officer to enter into the system and also allows the employee to review and confirm details are true and correct.
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.
