AU Payroll - Set a percentage on an employees bank account

Give the ability to set a percentage (i.e) 50% on an employees bank account when paying across more than one bank.
I have an employee who always splits her pay equally between 2 bank accounts, however she is a commission paid rep and therefore each pay amount is different. So the current function is no use to me- which allows a $$ amount to be set only. This is fine for set salaried employees but not for commissioned sales reps.
MYOB had a function where you could set a percentage on how much went to bank account 1, and therefore calculated the splits accordingly each payroll. This function would be amazing.

    This is something which our staff has raised in the past and they have told us that other employers did it by percentage for them. They must have been using MYOB as I know that they can split wages by percentage. This feature is needed urgently as without it I have told our staff that we can't split their wages. Being casuals with different amounts each week it is too much mucking around to do it manually and also increases the possibility of human error. This is an important feature which should be implemented ASAP

    The ability to split an employees wage into separate accounts by percentage as well as amount. eg: 10% of weekly wage, which would change each week as staff are casual.

    It would save heaps of time if we can get this % sorted. Please Xero, it is not that difficult! You have many experts on your team, it should be a quick fix for you! Thanks in advance.

    Definitely need this feature... being able to allocate 10% of the net pay to a separate account is the ideal way to encourage saving... most of our casual employees are requesting this feature and we have to do it manually in Xero..

    Much needed especially when all other software has this capability and you employee staff and they can no longer do this

  • Finance Pizzafino commented  ·   ·  Report

    with most of our labour force employed as casuals without regular hours - we come across this problem ALL the time. They want to split by %, not $. Causes me so much work and pacifying upset employees. Especially since we used to be able to do it when we had MYOB

  • Tania Boyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    this needs to be an option so many other payroll systems do it

  • Eirini Goudela commented  ·   ·  Report

    That would be very useful as there are employees that are not full timers and they would love to split their payments For ex. 70% on their 1st account and 30% in their savings account.. As their payment is not set , we need to manually adjust the amount in every payrun ...

    Fully agree with this feature. Should be standard.

    The ability to nominate a %age allocation to a 2nd bank account in payroll for staff.

    Some staff members work different hours each week ( especially students). So to nominate a specific $ amount to a 2nd account can be difficult. A %age is much easier when wages change each week.

  • Pina Micali commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree that this feature should be an option.
