This release of Payroll addresses issues which arose from the March 2009 version as follows:

• Employees with an S tax code were unable to join KiwiSaver, and employees that had previously been enrolled in KiwiSaver were removed if their tax code was changed to S. This has been resolved.
• The tax rate for the NSW tax code has been changed to 16.7% (consisting of 15% PAYE and 1.7% ACC Earner Premium). Due to an error in the specification supplied by the IRD, this rate was incorrectly set to 18.7% in the initial 2009.1 release.
• The IRD Schedule report always displayed “Year Ended 31/03/10”, regardless of the actual year is was generated for. The correct Year End date is now displayed.
• Performance improvements have been made to speed up the operation of the system.
• When running IR-filing for multiple payrolls, files for all databases were created, regardless of which payroll files were actually chosen. This has been resolved.
• Monthly employees with 1% Compulsory Employer Contributions were not being updated to 2% for pays rolling into May. This has been resolved..
• The ME SL tax code was being output to the EMS as “MESL”, which was not accepted by the IRD. This tax code now outputs correctly as “ME SL”. All other SL tax codes retain a space in between the initial code and “SL”, in accordance with IRD specifications.
• If employees were changed to the ME or ME SL tax code prior to April 2009, IR348s for March 2009 were rejected. This issue has been resolved by the IRD.
• The menu option Help > MYOB on the Web > Check for Product Update has been removed, as this option is now redundant. The Help > Upgrade Software Online option has been renamed to Check for Product Updates.
