Hi, AdminGBMP

Thanks for your post, and welcome to the MYOB Community Forum.

In addition to the information that our Ultimate Partner jenniek provided, the final pay being calculated would be just 8% of the employee's gross earnings. If we were to add up all the gross earnings, it should have been $244.12. If it only shows $226.24, can be that the first week's gross earning is not yet included. Kindly double-check the figures and see if it will show the final pay amount of $244.12.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance with this. We are happy to assist.

Best regards,

Hi AdminGBMP

When an employee is on ACC (work related or not) they are still employed by you and accruing leave (as if they had been working) so you will owe your employee leave @ 8% of AWE based on the 3 weeks he did work or ORD if AWE is lesser.

  Hi AdminGBMP Doreen_P
  I would agree with Doreen_P that 8% of the earnings within the payroll is $244.13.
  My confusion was any annual leave owing still needs to be paid, (ie if they had gone over their anniversary date) but in this case it is accrued leave, therefore not owing while they are off on ACC.
  I have included a couple of snips from employment.govt.nz which might help.

  I forgot to add that in week 3 I refunded $41.16 of kiwi saver deductions after tax so that might be where the descrepancy is.

So just to clarify.

Employee (A) Started work on the 4.11.2023 and was injured on 16.11.23 he was then paid 80% of his Average weekly income for one week/5days. He has been on ACC since then and handed his resignation in on the 30.8.23.
During his first few weeks of employement his gross earning were :
WK1 $224
WK2 $1148
WK3 $784 + $358 (x2 Days on ACC)
WK4 $537.60 (x 3 days on ACC)

Final pay as calculated by MYOB was $226.24

Is this correct?
