2021.2.3 Release Notes - 9 September 2022

We've made improvements to our superannuation payment processes to make them faster and give you more control:

• From 7 October, your direct debit superannuation payments will go directly to SuperChoice, our superannuation clearing house provider, instead of the MYOB trust account. This means they'll get to your employees' super funds up to 5 days faster.
• We've added more statuses to the Superannuation Batch Details screen, so you can see if there are any problems with your payments.
• You can now change your Pay Super payment limits and authorised users from the Payroll Preferences screen.

To continue using the service you need to sign our updated product disclosure statement. See the Pay Super Transition Guide for more information.

 Press F1 from any superannuation screen to see how to use the new features in in-product help.

Employees onboarded on a casual basis in Advanced Workforce Management will now have the correct Employment basis set on their Pay Details screen when imported into Advanced Payroll.

To help with compliance and setup, we've added default entitlements and liabilities for common leave types to sites that didn't already have them.

The entitlements and codes are:

• Sick leave: SICK
• Public holidays: PUBHOL
• Family violence leave: FAMILYV
• Bereavement leave: BEREAVE
• Alternative holidays: ALTHOL

To make it quicker and easier to update work schedules, we've added a new import scenario along with some background changes to support the change.

The new scenario is called Import Employee Work Schedule.

 We've improved the termination wizard to help you stay compliant and give better visibility into final pay calculations:

• Annual leave rollovers for termination payments now happen on employees' next anniversary date. Previously, this was happening on the day before their anniversary date.
• We've updated the warning message for terminations dates outside of the current pay period to explain the problems it can cause and what you need to do to correct them.
• You can now click the AL YTD gross earnings figure on Unused annual leave tab to see how it is calculated on the new AL YTD Gross Earnings Inspection screen.

Payment amounts may be incorrect for casual employees. Check any termination payments for casual employees carefully. The calculated payment amounts may not be correct.

To make paying public holidays easier, we've improved the options for importing and updating public holidays:

Australia and NZ – Importing public holidays worked no longer reduces employees' regular hours by more than their scheduled hours.

NZ only:

• You are now able to choose to pay public holidays using the relevant daily pay calculation, even where the employee's FBAPS rate is set to the average daily pay or an agreed rate.
• You can now override the the estimated public holidays to pay in a termination payment.
• When an employee works overtime on a public holiday, it is now calculated as a single public holiday worked.

You can now exclude employees from having their income reduced by leave payments from pay items with the "Allow Leave Reduction" property set. This is useful when you have a mixture of salaried and waged employees.

To enable this for an employee, go to the Employment tab of the Pay Details (MPPP2310) screen, and tick the option "Leave does not reduce income."

In addition to the features above, we've made a range of minor improvements to MYOB Advanced Payroll, including:

• New options for Attachment Order Type (NZ only).
• Improved error messages during the Payroll Expense Allocation process.
