Holiday payroll guide (NZ)

Preparing payroll for the summer holidays can be stressful, as some of the most complicated pays need to be done just when you're trying to get away to the beach and wrap those last few presents!

To make things smoother and give you confidence that your employees will be paid correctly, we've gathered together tips and resources on some common payroll pain points in MYOB Acumatica — Payroll.

Doing payroll in advance

If you're one of those companies who pays their empoyees early over the holidays, see Entering summer holiday pay runs in advance to take you through how to correctly enter pays in advance and then correct for any differences that crop up.

Processing public holidays

Getting public holidays right can be tricky. See Processing Public Holidays (NZ) for how to load your public holidays in bulk and then add them to your employees' pays.

If you have any employees who are finishing work, you may be required to pay them for upcoming public holidays if they fall within the period covered by outstanding annual leave. For more information, see Paying public holidays on termination.

Leave requests

If you use the employee self-service module, here's information to make the process easy for people requesting, approving, and paying leave:
