    Hi stroltz 

     

    I'd check that the standard pays for this employee matches what is on other employees.

     

    Interestingly 9.7 * 29.52 = 286.34

    less 0.2 hrs per FN

    0.2 * 29.52 = -5.90

    Balance = $280.44 (which is pay calculated by MYOB)

     

    You can set Fortnightly hours to 0.2, however on the Standard Pays screen, change the 0.2 to 0.0 - see if this solves the pay rate calculation issue.

     

    When you use timesheets, the hours shown on Standard Pays are factored in (bug).

     

    Regards

Hi stroltz 

 

Thank you for your post. I'm glad to assist you.

 

There could be two reasons why it is showing differently or lower which is either rounding or manual changes made on Pay Slip. 

For the Rounding, you can change the rounding settings by going to Setup >> General Payroll Information. There is a field there to allow you to round up the nearest cent, if we set this to 100c then this will round to the nearest dollar. This depends on how you want it to be rounded. Please ask for assistance from your accountant if needed for the rounding.

 

 

Please feel free to post again. I'm happy to assist further.

Hi,

 

thanks for the reply.

 

We have not made manual changes to these payslips.

The rounding is set to "Round net pay down to a multiple of 5 cents" but that does not explain this.

It only for this employee that the base hourly rate is being automacitally changed to some weird figure?

    Hi stroltz 

     

    Perhaps point out how you process the payroll. Is it via timesheets? What did you enter on screen? The 9.7 hrs or the $280.44 (or both). What does the Standard Pay screen show on the Employee's Card > Payroll Details. Also where does the Annual Salary of $153.50 come from?

     

    Regards

      We process the payroll via timesheets, so we seldom manually edit the pays. So we did not manually enter any figure.

       

      I have attached the card info payroll details.

       

      The annual salary figure is because MYOB won't let us set the default hours in a fortnightly period to zero. (that is so annoying MYOB, the stupidity of myob to not allow for staff to only be paid hourly based on  timesheets)

      So we have it set to almost zero to help stop the bug where the standard pay gets adjusted automatically from $0 and revised up then staff get paid extra hours they did not work if you are not paying close attention. 

       

      This does not explain why only this staff members base rate is being changed by MYOB. 

      It is only happening for this staff member. All others have the same setup, and their pays reflect the hourly rate set in their card.
