Known issue 2020.5.5: Employee incorrectly receiving email about changed payment settings

This issue was fixed in MYOB Advanced Business version 2021.1.

After you edit an employee's information, they might receive an email saying that someone modified their payment settings, even if you didn't change those settings. Also, the email includes incorrect information about who made changes and when they did it.

What causes the issue?

The issue occurs if the EmployeePayDistributionSettings notification is set up on the Automation Notifications screen.

This notification is only meant to send an email to an employee when you change their settings on the Pay Distribution screen. However, an employee also receives an email if you change their information on the Employees screen—for example, if you change their address or phone number.
