Payroll

Deleting payroll categories


There may be times when you want to delete a payroll category. When this is the case, you can quickly delete such an element from your records.

You can delete any accrual,employer expense or deduction in the MYOB AccountEdge system. You can also delete any wage except the Base Salary and Base Hourly wage categories.

Wages, accruals, deductions and employer expenses that have been recorded on current paychecks -- that is, paychecks that have been recorded in the current payroll year -- can't be deleted. You can delete a wage only after the record of the paychecks on which the wage appeared is purged from your company file. (In most cases, this means that you probably won't be able to delete the wage until after you start the next payroll year.)

Since the accuracy of your payroll records is at stake, you can't add, change or delete any payroll taxes from AccountEdge's tax tables. To be sure you're using the latest tax tables, refer to To learn the revision date of payroll taxes.
