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.
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.
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.Export timesheet data from Team portal
For those of us who require timesheets that show approval information for things like audits, it would be handy to be able to print or export the timesheet information from the MYOB Team portal as it shows more information than the timesheet reports from MYOB reports section.
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
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.
