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?

Just taken on a payroll client where we need to approve timesheet hours and then manually update the payslip with kms travelled. This would be a good feature to have.

Have a client with over 100 employees and for each we have to manually edit the payslips. Desperately need this, huge time suck at present.

We already have this feature. Xero chose to remove it as part of the never-ending transition to STP2.

This would be fantastic! Allowing staff to enter km per hour, or nights away, or meals away would save a lot of manual entry.

Being able to have employees record KM's travelled with their time sheet will save a lot of time and headaches when processing payroll

We need allowances as a drop down on timesheets. We used to be able to work around it but now with STP Phase 2 this is no longer available.
Please make allowances an option so staff can enter their own kms used etc.

The current way creates so much more work for payroll officers and employees. Would be much more efficient to have it as an option to add on to the timesheet at the employees end - rather than having to send this info through a different way.

Being able to set up allowance in a timesheet would be very helpful for clients who pay travel allowances based on kilometres travelled - for example long distance truck drivers.
Currently only hours worked can be entered, so employees then also need to advise their employer of the kilometres travelled separately. -

Agree wholeheartedly!
Tracking within payroll being limited to the timesheet is a pain. Super expense doesn't track to the second option either!
Needs much more flexibility

This should be a no-brainer for Xero now that STP2 requires mileage claims to be classified as allowances. We can no longer include mileage claims on time sheets as OTE under STP2. This will affect many workers and creates a lot of additional work to capture and record these claims every payday.
