Re: When to pay for Public Holiday
Hi Shaz
Thank you for your reply. I thought that was probably the case but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. From all I could find on the award and the NES, I can't see anything to the contrary.
Really appreciate your view on this. Have a good weekend.

Re: Total on SuperStream Page
Hi Rav, yes that is the 'home' page I was referring to. There is also no grand total of payment amount until you process the batch for payment. It would be ideal to have a grand total with creating the batch where it lists the employees and their SG amount for the period to be lodged and paid.
thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Re: Total on SuperStream Page
Just a grand total of all employees included in the batch. Probably don't need subtotals per superfund, as superstream deals with providing funds to super funds. Having a grand total, confirms amount reconciles with payroll reports for the same period, without having to manual add up each employee.

congratulations again @Eric Murphy, good job.
Re: Integrated superstream solution for accounts hosted
This is quite disappointing. With Reckons main competitors (Myob & Xero), the payday super solution is completely integrated. Payroll role is done & super payment can be instigated without having to download / upload files & login to another service. It seems in Reckons solution you need to run payroll, then download a file, then login to First Choice, then upload the file before making payment. It is also unclear whether First Choice makes the payment (Direct Credit) or if you have to login to internet banking to make the payment (Direct Credit). Remember this will soon be required to do for every payroll run.
So to compare:
Myob & Xero payday super solution
- Login into Xero or Myob
- Run payroll
- Submit super within software which automatically makes payment
Reckon Accounts payday super solution
- Login to Reckon Accounts
- Run payroll
- Download the file
- login to First Choice
- Upload the file to submit
- Login to Internet Banking (if Direct Debit is not available)
- Make the payment
So, Reckons statement 'Super made simple!' is definitely not true compared to it's competitors.
Re: Integrated superstream solution for accounts hosted
hi Rav. Thanks for the update. I understand that the software architecture is different & may have limitations but at the end of the day Reckon Accounts is competing with Xero & Myob Accountright so if Reckon want to provide an 'on par' solution with it competitors then it needs to do better than the Colonial First state super solution.
It's also a bit simplistic to imply that the client can always just move to Reckon one. My Reckon accounts clients have been using Reckon Accounts for many years. There is a big learning curve & data migration to be done before they could make that move (which is why they haven't). And in any case if they were to change Accounting Packages then they would also be looking into Myob & Xero, not just Reckon One.
Thanks for clarification RE Direct payment within Colonial.
