Classify Employees by department
We often need to isolate costs for different departments within the business. While some reports allow selecting individual employees, having a predefined department classification within the system and assign them to each employee, would make managing and reporting on different departments more efficient and agile.
Allow Approving Managers to Approve Timesheets without being an Admin
Currently, there is a bug which does not allow approving managers to approve timesheets unless they have been given admin or payroll access. But they can view and approve leave. There are managers where the extent of their responsibility should only to approve timesheets and nothing else in MYOB (should not be able to view finances or payroll). This is a known issue from 4 years ago which has yet to be fixed.
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.
Super errors so frustrating
Getting really frustrated with the amount of times I have to contact MYOB about a 'something went wrong error'. Usually happens when I process super and when I contact support they seem to be able to tell me what went wrong right away. Why can't you just tell me on the screen?
Saved payroll run to reflect change in timesheets
Any changes made to timesheet should be reflected even after saving the payroll run. Currently in MYOB AccountRight this feature is not available and in case of any new timesheets are entered after saving the payroll, the payroll does not refresh to reflect new/modified timesheets. Enhancing the software with this feature will allow to make any last-minute changes without having to start a new pay run. This will save time to reset and start again. Regards, Shilpee Surana
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.
