Read MoreEmailing payslips – now just a click away!
A recent update to LiveAccounts means you can now easily print and email individual payslips to your employees. We’ve outlined below how easy it is to do. 1. Firstly, go to the Payroll > Payroll Settings menu option. 2. In Payslip email setup, type in the text you would like to appear in the email when you send the payslip. Please note the default text provided includes merge fields. This means these fields will prefill automatically with details you have already entered. For example [Employee name] will prefill with the employee’s name e.g. To Mary Jones, thereby personalising the email sent. 3. Then click ‘Save’ to store your changes. 4. Next, go to Payroll > Employees 5. Add the required email address to each of your employees. Next time you do a payrun you will now have the option to tick the Email box. LiveAccounts will automatically email the payslips when you finalise the payrun. Emailing and printing past payslips You can also email or print individual payslips from past pay runs. 1.Go to Payroll > Past pay runs 2. Select the required past payrun and click on ‘Print/Email’. This will outline all the employees in that particular pay run. 3. Tick the box of the employee(s) you would like to email a payslip to, or print payslip for. The ‘Print’ and ‘Email’ buttons will become active. Please note: If the email button does not become active at the bottom of the screen, this means you haven’t entered an email address for that employee. You can add their email address via Payroll > Employees. 4. Click on ‘Email’ and off it goes! Click on ‘Print’ and the payslip PDF will open, and you can print it from there. If you need any help getting your payroll setup, please contact LiveAccounts Support.

Read MoreGet a free website in 15 mins – no catch, no dramas
Here’s the perfect way to get a website for your business without the hassle or the cost. Did you know 80% of Kiwis look online before purchasing products or services, but only 32% of New Zealand businesses have a website? The numbers are similar in Australia too. A lot of revenue goes to businesses simply because they can be found online. Last year, MYOB launched an initiative to help get 50,000 Australian small businesses online. This was met with unprecedented success with over 34,000 getting on board so far. So now we’re very excited to be doing the same in New Zealand.

Read MoreLiveAccounts product update – what’s on the go?
Hello! It’s been an incredibly busy time here in the LiveAccounts development room. We really hope you’re enjoying the changes we’re making. As you’re probably aware, our main development work recently has been around payroll. We were so excited to release payroll for our New Zealand clients on 1 April, ready for the new financial year. The feedback we’ve received has been great which pleases us no end. How did we improve payroll? We extended the original functionality to include: splitting a pay between two bank accounts added multiple overtime rates and (drum roll please) the ability to email or print individual payslips! What else have we done I hear you ask? You will find we have: improved the general journals page made it easier to see related transactions on invoices and expenses fixed the MYE import facility into MYOB Accountants Office tinkered under the bonnet to speed up a few areas. We’re feverishly working on including entitlements( accruals) and once we get all that over the line, our focus will be squarely on Invoicing. On that point, if there is something you’d like improved in invoicing, drop us a line at ideas@liveaccounts.com - we’d love to hear from you. Until next time, Richard Puffe | Product Manager, LiveAccounts | MYOB

Read MoreSome exciting new changes to the LiveAccounts website
The LiveAccounts websites found at liveaccounts.myob.com.au and liveaccounts.myob.co.nz are being retired, with all the content moving into the main myob.com.au and myob.co.nz websites. We’re doing this to consolidate all the information about our products and services into one location, making it easier to find. To assist in this transition, we’ll be redirecting key locations on the old websites. That means if you try to visit liveaccounts.myob.com.au, you’ll automatically be taken to its new home, myob.com.au/liveaccounts. As a bit of housekeeping if you have bookmarked any of these old locations, you might like to update them with the new location.
