AU Payroll - Reportable W1 for new pay items in Australia
When adding new Pay Items in Australia, Reportable as W1 should be ticked as a ticked as the default as the vast majority of Pay Items in Australia are Reportable under W1.
Every time the award changes and we import pay items from Deputy, the new items have Reportable as W1 turned off and we have to manually change them.
Changing the Xero default may or may not fix that problem but it should be the default nonetheless.

I cant believe this isn't the default and Xero haven't changed it.

This should not be a product idea. It should be a vital part of providing an accurate service. All ordinary hours are always reportable at W1. It's basic payroll 101

Advisers will usually pick this up and change, but as Xero is marketing more and more to business owners that they can do it themselves, this is essential.

Agreed! Unsure why its not a default option.

Change default pay item for ordinary hours to be reportable at W1.
Currently, the ordinary hours pay item is not ticked for 'reportable as W1 on Activity Statement'
Clients doing their own payroll or brand new Xero account setup may overlook this and all figures populated for BAS/IAS will be incorrect.
