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?

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.
