ACC and Holiday Pay on MYOB Payroll
One of our staff member has been on a mix of ACC (non work related injury) and pay for 12 months. At times she has been paid for by ACC on a work trial and at other times on abatement where we pay for what she worked, topped up by ACC. I have entered the hours that we have paid her on MYOB Payroll, but at times she has worked hours that are on the timesheet but not in payroll because ACC have been paying her. Below is the relevant section from the Employment NZ website. So if she takes annual leave we pay her at her ordinary weekly pay, but she is not actually accruing holiday pay at 8%? An employee's annual leave is calculated as if the employee were still working. When the employee ends their job after a period of being on ACC, the employer needs to pay any outstanding annual leave in the final pay based on gross income. The “first week compensation” paid by the employer is included in gross income. ACC compensation payments are not earnings, and are not included in gross income. Since annual leave is calculated at the higher of the average weekly earnings for the 12 months before termination or the ordinary weekly pay, if the employee has been unpaid by the employer for over a year the average weekly pay equals zero.The employer then needs to use the ordinary weekly pay, which is the amount the employee would receive for an ordinary working week. Many employees will still have an ordinary weekly pay even after being off work on ACC for a lengthy period, which is normally covered in the employment agreement.If there is nothing specified in the employment agreement, then the pattern of work and payment from when the employee was last working would decide what an ordinary weekly pay is for the employee.For example, an employee who works 40 hours a week at an hourly rate of $20 per hour would have an ordinary weekly pay of $800 despite being off work on ACC for over a year.Solved7.7KViews0likes2Comments

Is Payday Filing still continuing during IRD e-services updrade?
Hello Can anyone tell me whether continuing as normal with weekly pay runs through MYOB payroll is the correct thing to do with IRD shutting down their services between 9th and 16th April 2020? I'm not sure what EI's are they they say are meant to only be filed on 17th April? thanksSolved958Views0likes2CommentsMYOB Payroll - reduction in payrate
Hi all, An employee has been asked to permanently take a 20% reduction in pay but is concerned that the 30 annual leave days owing at this stage will start to reduce in rates to reflect the deduction. They are concerned that there will be 'double dipping' ie: rate say currently $40/hr annual leave but this will reduce over the coming weeks to $32/hr. Is he correct with his reasoning? Thanks for your time.Solved944Views0likes1Comment
Importing timesheets into MYOB Payroll New Zealand
Hi there. I'm wondering if it's already possible to import timesheets into MYOB Payroll for New Zealand. There was a possibility in the past but not anymore. In case it's not possible, are you planning to make it available? Cheers, JonathanSolved799Views0likes2Comments
Payroll Reinstating Archived Employees
Currently working with the new MYOB update and am not a fan of the new payroll system. It is overly complicated and messy to look at, and you can't change any employee details without s**bleep**ping the entire payrun and starting from scratch which is not user friendly at all. My main issue is with the system to archive and reinstate employees. There used to just be a check box for archived employees and if you wanted to bring them back you just unchecked the box, but now that doesn't exist. How do I bring back archived employees without creating a whole new employee profile for them?321Views0likes2CommentsSubmission to Inland Revenue - Payday Filing
Hi, We process payroll every fortnight. We use payday filing and even though we never receive an error while submitting the details to IRD (NZ), the data is never filed. We have to log in to IRD and again do a manual filing of the data. This is pretty annoying considering that we are charged for Payday Filing and then still have to do manual filings afterwards. Why is this the case and how do we correct this issue?234Views0likes1Comment
