Changing an employee from casual to permanent
Hi one of our employees is changing from casual to permanent and I have created a new employee profile for them since I found out you cant change the status of an existing employee profile but my question is do I put a termination date on the casual profile from the date they changed to permanent or just leave it?22Views0likes1CommentUnable to select correct period to file GST return
When I go to file the GST return via MYOB, I'm unable to select the correct period end (May 2025) from the dropdown: Incidentally, all the available dates are prior to the first GST return I filed with MYOB (which was for the period 1/8/24-30/9/24). Seems like somebody released a bug. What can I do to file the return?161Views1like8CommentsPayroll periods
Hi there Sorry - I have looked for help on this, but cant (easily) find an answer. I am using Business Payroll for NZ. Can I process 2 payrolls for the same pay period for the same person? I'm doing backpay and would like it on a separate pay. Thank you for your help.24Views0likes1CommentUnable to select the correct period to file GST return
I am preparing the GST return using MYOB account right Premier. However, the correct period end (Apr 25 to May 25) does not appear in the dropdown list. When we started a new financial year last year, I selected the option to keep all records, but I believe we may have now reached the three-year max data limit. As our accountant is still working on the EOFY 2025 report, we are unable to start a new financial year at this stage. Could someone kindly advise what we should do to proceed and prepare the GST return for the period Apr 25 to May 25?58Views0likes4CommentsIssue with Acepayroll GL not connecting to accountright
Is anyone else having issues with what I think is a feature but appears to have stopped working. Acepayroll not longer allows you to set up the GL for accountright to automatically send through the journalling transactions - I do weekly pay runs and for close to a year I have been manually journalling my pay run10Views0likes0CommentsAce Payroll - payslip and fortnightly pays
Hi Is there any way to add an employee's address to Ace Payroll payslip? Is there a way to separate out weekly hours on a fortnightly pay run? At the moment, I'm combining hours for each day e.g. Monday1 = 8, Monday2 = 6, on payslip Monday = 14 Regards51Views0likes3CommentsMYOB Business payroll error
Hi all, I was asked to process the payout for someone who wanted to cash in a Day in Lieu. Unfortunately after I had done everything and filed with the IRD I realized I had not manually over-ridden the tax rate and he had been taxed at the incorrect rate (he's on 39% and was only taxed 12.16%) I had to redo the process and calculated the correct amount before he was actually paid out but that meant a second filing to the IRD and even worse, the loss of an additional Day in Lieu from his record for the employee. I need to get it back! How do I cancel all my errors? Is it possible to delete the original payrun or do I need to manually add another DiL on to his record and go onto the IRD website and delete the transaction which was uploaded earlier today? Will this all have any effect on our financial records if I just delete? Thanks in advance for any and all help received!! I need a holiday :-( Cheers HeatherSolved31Views0likes1CommentMYOB ACE Payroll - how to terminate someone on a different day to the usual fortnightly pay cycle?
Good Morning, MYOB ACE Payroll question: I have a staff member who ended employment yesterday, 4th June 2025, exactly one year after he started (1 yr contract). Our usual fortnightly pay cycle finishes on 13th June 2025. I went to calculate his AL on termination but on top of his actual entitlement, its calculating 8% for the period 5th June to 13th June, which he isn't entitled to as he won't work for that period. What is the best way to do tell the system he is terminated from 4th June? Thanks TracySolved24Views0likes2CommentsMYOB Payroll 2025.1 & Decommissioning

I have a staff member who is going on PPL in a few weeks and I am trying to make sure I am sorted as it has been over 5 years since I last had to deal with PPL and obviously not in the new Payroll system. I see there are 2 options on how to deal with PPL, (excluding the employee, or including the employee from pay runs) and the easiest for me is to exclude the employee. MYOB says to add a termination date and then re-instate the employee when (if) they start back, however I am worried that this would mean they aren't accruing the Annual Holidays they are entitled to? Previously in the old system you were able to go into the employee tab and change their status to 'on PPL' so I am just wanting to double check I am doing it correctly. Also, we were told last year that the Split Pays function would be back this year - do we have an updated time frame for this as I have staff asking for this to happen? Thanks in advance :-)160Views1like5CommentsChange IRD number & AIM Tax return
Hello I have a client who is changing on 1/4/25 from an individual sole trader paying AIM tax on a monthly payments basis, to a Partnership (different IRD Number) and GST & AIM tax on a two monthly payments basis.

Hi we use MYOB Business for Payroll only and the accountant is wanting a report for end of financial year - wording from accountant: Payroll summary 1/4/2024 – 31/3/2025 Last year this report appeared and I was able to print off, this year no report has appeared. Is there somewhere I can obtain the information with out manually having to do the 52weeks of payments. ThanksSolved63Views0likes4CommentsKiwi saver contribution refund
Morning, we have a new employee who provided an opt out of KS form in his employment pack. As required he was auto enrolled (I intended to opt him out after the mandatory 14+ days), the first deduction was made on day 8 of employment however on day 10 of employment I received a savings suspension notice for him from IRD. By my error a further deduction was made on day 16 of his employment I have refunded this as a non taxable earning in our last pay run and edited my PAYE IRD submission. My problem is now my MYOB pay run items and my PAYE on IRD and different will this be an issue going forward. (NOTE: I did call IRD to see what takes priority a) the opt out form or b) the letter from IRD, she advised its most likely the IRD letter however I should opt him out anyway and they will let me know what to do from there.)30Views0likes1CommentTimesheet (manual entry)
hi, I am new to myob payroll and trying to do a pay run, but it seems like I cannot enter my employee hours myself anywhere or even upload a timesheet, as we have only 1 employee who does not want to use myob team to enter hours. Is there any manual way to input the employee hours thanks48Views0likes3CommentsTaxation of extra pay when employment ends
Hi, The release notes for MYOB payroll desktop version 2025.1 included the above note re: taxation of extra pay when employment ends. The extract notes the change to the annualised calculation to now be based on two weeks instead of four weeks; however, the IRD website is still stating the calculation is to be based on four weeks? MYOB - can you please advise where this change was initiated from? Also, the old calculation of 4 weeks was multiplied by 13 - are you now suggesting the two weeks to be multiplied by 26 instead?41Views0likes1CommentPay run in wrong financial year
