MYOB Team Setting Up Approving Manager who is paid Salary
Hello AHJS
Thank you for your post. For the employees to appear within the Select an approving manager window, the following does need to be set up in the file:
- All employees must have the same email address in their employee card within the profile tab and the Payroll details (pay slip email) field
- All employees must be setup with the Pay Basis of 'Hourly' within their employee card files
- All employees need to be in the Payroll Category 'Base Hourly', whether or not they use it as this is what all the programming done on.
In your scenario if the employees you are wanting to add as approving managers will NOT be using MYOB Team to track their time, only to approve timesheets, you may be able to set up a second employee card for them with the Pay Basis of 'Hourly,' Payroll Category of 'Base Hourly,' and Employment Status of 'Other' (to ensure those second cards do not appear on payroll). I would recommend naming the second card something different from their primary card.
For example, John Smith who is paid a salary could be Approving Manager John Smith for the second card for MYOB Team purposes. This should allow them to show up for Approving Manager while also retaining their normal, salary payroll settings on the original card. However, it would be very important that the second card you set up is not used for anything other than making those employees Approving Managers, to avoid any confusing crossover between cards.
Note that this would just be a workaround, as the current setup of MYOB Team isn't quite suited to the specifics of your business. To that end, I have passed on this feedback to the appropriate teams as away to improve functionality in the future.
