AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances

When operating tracking income and expenses in two areas, payroll allows for the primary tracking category when setting up the employee and the time sheet allows the secondary tracking option to be selected.

Currently the timesheet option only allows for the 'hours worked' to be allocated to the secondary tracking option. Any allowance can only be added at the pay run which means it cannot be added to the secondary tracking category.

Can we have the ability to add allowances as an option in the timesheet?

    Yes this is critical for us too. We must have the ability for staff to add their own kilometers, sleepovers and any allowances please. It creates a lot of work having to manually add literally hundreds of kilometers each week. Thank you developers :)

    This is a very important and very fundamental function for a timesheet system to incorporate.
    I'm surprised Xero doesn't already have this capability!

    We really need to be able to add allowances to time sheets.

  • Charlotte Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    My client needs it so that you can enter allowances in the XeroMe App as that is how most employees add their timesheets. They can do it from the web version but that is not used by the employees.

  • Samantha Westbury commented  ·   ·  Report

    ability to have allowances with different units should be high priority.
    ridiculous for an employee to report their time sheets in two different ways (though Xero and other).

  • Ben Janssen commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is surely a quick fix for the dev team, and much needed for users.

  • Rebecca Laguna commented  ·   ·  Report

    being able to track allowances through payroll is critical for us. This is already offered in MYOB which we just transferred from.

  • Kelly Leaning-Dalley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we PLEASE have the ability to have allowances that use the total hours worked off the timesheets, automatically take the total hours worked and add that quantity into the payrun quantity for the allowances? Because of the STP change we have to enter the hours on every allowance manually and a lot of staff have more than one allowance. 32 staff with 4 allowances each is a lot of extra manual entry after we have just manually entered the timesheets :(

    Not just required for mileage, but also other allowance types: laundry, broken shift, meals etc!

  • Stuart Davis commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is amazing this feature is not already in place. We need it asap please xero.

  • Jalayna Boaler commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a great feature and save emailing back & forth with employees!

  • Tammy Dalgliesh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please! I work for two companies, one needs this for travel and the other needs it for meal allowances. Please make it happen ASAP!

  • Brenton Swart commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is extremely critical for us. We have to pay staff according to km travelled and with no way to record this against timesheets we have to manually enter this information on payslips allowing for errors in overpayments and underpayments

  • BGAU Accounts commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is extremely important to allow Fixed Rate allowances to Timesheets. Work around solutions we have implemented has too much room for error

  • Jason French commented  ·   ·  Report

    this would be extremely useful to be able to include daily allowances that we pay for overseas travel

  • Jeanne Motteram commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can employees please be able to enter their travel kilometres per day just like they add their hours per day on their timesheets as it is very frustrating requesting employees to email or text km's to manually add to their payslip.

  • Rachel Tuhi commented  ·   ·  Report

    How many votes do we need to get these changes made?!!

  • Jackie McGregor commented  ·   ·  Report

    really need to be able to enter travel into timesheet. This has to be done manually and really does not work

  • Lucy Malligan commented  ·   ·  Report

    A new issue which has arisen through STP phase 2 is when the employee enters a timesheet it removes the travel allowance which is entered into the pay template.
    Is there away we can keep this template travel allowance when the employee is entering a timesheet?
