MYOB Essentials with Payroll, Australia, only

The new MYOB Essentials uses leave pay items to track the hours of leave an employee accumulates.

When you were upgraded, default leave pay items were assigned to your employees.

These pay items ensure that leave is accrued and paid out at the same rate your employees received before the upgrade. There's nothing for you to set up, although you can customise these pay items if you want.

To see the default leave accrual pay items and to understand how they calculate accrued leave, click the relevant dropdown below.
