Filing System - Payroll
It is standard practice for personnel names in payroll to be filed by the surname and then the christian name. This is a standard business practice accepted globally and dates back to the days of paper and pen! Believe it or not this function is not available in MYOB on-line. So if you have several staff members with the same christian name they will all be listed under one another. The desk-top system files according to surname, why has this not been carried over to the on-line system? Is MYOB dumbing down the system even more? MYOB, your fees are ever increasing but the level of service provided ever decreasing. I will be investigating if this facility is available in Xero
SUPER PAID BUTTON
In MYOB Business Pro, Can we please have a SUPER PAID BUTTON within the Superannuation Payments screen. A lot of clients are now having to lodge ATO SGC Statements which means the SGC payments are left in this area. Its ok while the same bookkeeper is using the file but if a new bookkeeper takes over, they may not realise that a SGC statement has been lodged. In Xero there is a Super paid button that you can tick off Super that has been paid but not through the Xero portal. Can we have something similar in MYOB Thanks Desley Boshard
ADD ABILITY TO EDIT PAYSLIPS IN MYOB ESSENTIALS!!!
ADD ABILITY TO EDIT PAYSLIPS IN MYOB ESSENTIALS!!! THIS IS A NECCESSARY OPTION! The current payslip is messy and doesnt work for all employees. The margins dont even align. ADD THE OPTION TO EDIT PAYSLIP TEMPLATE! You have it in myob account right so it cant be hard to merge over Please add this option ASAPUpdating employee's cards
MYOB Could we please get payroll fixed so that when you edit the employee's card and change their pay rate, you are asked if you want their Standard pay updated BEFORE it makes any changes? For example, when you have casual employees that do not have a Standard Pay you have to remember to reduce their standard pay back to $0 every time you update their record. I just had this happen again yesterday for a client who nearly paid the wrong amount to a number of casual employees who had received a pay rate review. Or, maybe allow the employee to have a weekly pay period of 0 hours! Thanks.
MYOB Business Payroll - ability to allocate to jobs
MYOB Business Pro has a Payroll function but there is currently no ability to allocate the earnings to a job which is something that is a common requirements from businesses and organisations. Please consider adding this capability just as you already have for any other transactions entered, such as spending money, purchases etc.
Report: Payroll activity - list alphabetically by last name
Who was the genius that decided that a payroll report should list employees alphabetically baed on their first name instead of their surname? MYOB have never done this before (for good reason). No other accounting report or ATO report or any report lists employees alphabetically based on their first name. If there is a good reason for it, I certainly cannot see it. Please either change the alphabetical listing in the reports to be based on surnames, or give the user the ability to edit the way that the reports are listed like Xero does? "Payroll activity report listed alphabetically using surname (NOT first name)"
Glitch in Payruns and Standard pay
Hello Three system glitches that need fixing, and I dont know how they haven't been already!! Have been an issue for years. Using the web based version of Account right. In Employee set up, you must have hours in pay cycle. These hours then transfer over to the tab "standard pay". This should not happen unless you enter it manually as currently it then adds itself into the pay run and the employee shows up as working twice the amount of hours, if you are running on timesheets to calculate the hours. EXAMPLE: I gave my employee a payrise. For some reason, under the Standard Pay tab, in wages - base hours, 38 has automatically been placed there. My employee does a timesheet every week on which he gets paid those hours. When I start a new pay run, instead of the 30hours worked it is showing 68 hours because of this strange automatic adding of a "standard pay". PLEASE REMOVE THIS. Next, when you start a pay run, it says "No timesheets for this pay period" even though there is. You have to change the date to tomorrow then back to today in order for the current timesheets to show up for selection. Why is it like this? Please fix. Next, when entering bills the automatic fill in will pick up the business the bill is for but no other information. I have found if you select a random different business, then go back to selecting the correct business then the autofill will pick up the right information for that business./ All such frustrating tedious things that shouldn't occur in a programe thats been running for this long. It makes MYOB so clunky and finicky to use, no wonder so many are giving up on it. Please fix what needs to be fixed instead of updating the look of the dashboard every 6 months. We pay enough money for this program that it shouldnt be so annoying to use.Report: Pay item transactions - Include hours worked
I used to be able to get hours worked on the Pay Items transaction report. The new version only has dollars. I contacted online support and received the following response: I have looked at report and have found Unfortunately, Due to update, this feature has ben removed, there is no way to include it in that report. It is very disappointing when an "upgrade" takes away a useful feature that is used. Please return this functionality. "Pay items report should still include hours worked"Employees: Notes - increase character limit
Hi we have just had the 1st of 4 files migrated to the new version of Essentials. We have been eagerly awaiting all the new featuresthat would make life easier but we are disappointed to see some of the good points about the old version have gone. The notes section of the employee file has a reduced character limit so much so that the notes on one employee file that were imported from the old version have had to be cut & pasted to a word document as they were too large for the field & tech support are unable to tell me how charaters can go in the field The payslip (& whole payroll process) was much simpler in the old version. We would like to be able to edit the payslip template or if you could just make it look like the old version including logo that would be fantastic We would like to be able to add our logo to the remittance advice as well If we can edit the invoice template why cant we edit the payslip & remittance templates? It is great that we can now have TOIL & LSL accruals & recurring journals but I wish you could have kept the good features from the old version that have been removed. We would love the simplicity of the old version with the added features of the new "Payroll & templates in New Essentials"
