AU Payroll - Ability for timesheets to not override Pay Template
When a Pay Template has been created for an employee, only the matching Earnings Rate should be overwritten by entries in Timesheets. Any other Earnings Rates that are set up in the Pay Template should still should still be available in the Payslip - they shouldn't have to be added back in again when processing the pay run. For instance, Fares & Travel Pattern Allowance needs to be paid over and above the Ordinary Hours recorded on the Timesheet. If it is listed on the Pay Template as an Earnings Rate for an Employee it should appear regardless of whether Timesheets have been used to record Ordinary Hours or not.

Currently Xero Central Help has advised there is no way to remove the 'Other Earnings Rates' category from the earnings selection in Xero Me.
This is an issue and one which one of my bigger clients is unhappy about as it means employees can select Other Earnings Rates outside of their Pay Template setup leading to payroll errors and overpayments. Given there are 30 odd employees on the payroll for this client it is too much to expect managers when approving timesheets to know each individuals Earnings Rates if an incorrect item may have been selected by an employee.
Would it not be better to have only each employee's Pay Template setup Earnings Rates available for them to select in Xero Me when submitting Timesheets?
