How can I check whether the net pay is going to come up correctly?

One of the not-so-perfect things about the way a standard pay shows up in an employee’s card is that you can’t see what the final net pay is going to be. For example, if you’re setting up payroll from scratch and you want to check that MYOB software is going to calculate an employee’s pay so that it comes out the same as what they have been receiving up until now, then viewing the employee’s standard pay isn’t going to be much help.

The answer is to go to Process Payroll, as if you’re about to record a pay run. Proceed to Select & Edit Employee’s Pay and check out the Net Pay column for each employee. To view the details of how MYOB software arrives at this net pay calculation, simply zoom in on the white arrow next to the employee’s name. Once you’ve finished reviewing these pay calculations, you can just click Close to quit without recording anything.
