Payroll - payments

Hi, 

 

We use MYOB AccountRight and only have a couple of employees. We go through "process payroll" but then go to bank website and pay them from our bank account - we don't use the file created from "prepare electronic payments". However, those payment to employees are not showing in MYOB in bank account but rather are stuck in Electronic Clearning Account. Is there a way to automate it so that they go to bank account automatically once we process the payroll, without creating the bank file?

 

Thank you

    Hi ZevoAdmin 

     

    If you do not want to use bank files, you can choose the payment method as Cheque while processing the payroll  as shown:

     

     

    However, if the payment method comes as Electronic payment method by default, you might have to change the method in every employee's card file so you don't have to change it manually while processing payroll as shown:

     



    If you're choosing the payment method as Cheque, also ensure that Bank account for cheque payments is your actual bank account under Setup>>Linked accounts>>Payroll accounts in order to show that everything is coming out directly from your bank account.


    Let me know if you have any questions on this.

      One more thing:

      how can we move payroll payments that are already processed and sitting in the electronic clearing account? Would it be okay to find the transaction and just change the "Account" from electronic clearing account to the bank account (see attached)? Or do we have to download the bank file in order for them to appear in MYOB bank records? 

       

      Thank you in advance for any help

        Hi ZevoAdmin 


        Both of these methods should work fine.  The only difference is when you create a bank file, it can be done for multiple transactions all at once, but if you choose to change account, it has to be done individually for every transaction.
