Hi annachen,
Thanks for your post and welcome here to the Community Forum. We apologize that you are having difficulties when processing payments due to a timeout error message. We appreciate your patience on this matter.
As of the current information available, there are no known widespread issues with clients experiencing difficulties connecting to and/or processing payroll in MYOB. Timeout errors typically occur when MYOB AccountRight is tasked with processing an amount of information that exceeds its capacity within a specific timeframe.
However, if you are encountering a timeout error, it may be beneficial to apply the timeout extender. This tool is designed to prolong the duration before MYOB AccountRight triggers a timeout error. I will be providing you with the instructions for the timeout extender through a private message. To access this, click on your forum display picture in the top right-hand corner of your screen and select the envelope icon.
Feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.
