Payroll: Assign multiple tracking categories to pay items
Create the ability to allocate payroll items (eg Wages & Super) to multiple sets of tracking categories within payroll.
The only way that wages can be allocated to tracking categories is via timesheets or Journals (and only one set of tracking categories is able to be included in the timesheet).
This would be really helpful for many NFP's who require the ability to use two sets of tracking categories for all their expenses including Wages & Super (One set of tracking categories for departments and another for funding sources/grants).

As a charity, I would like to be able to split an employees pay across different grants/funds. Being able to assign an employee to more than one employee group with a specified % split for each fund/group would have a massive impact for me. At the moment I am having to do so many manual journals which are error prone as others have said.

Yes very time consuming when doing big payrolls, we have to then go and do a manual journal for all allowances, super, leave for everything we can't code on timesheets.
Would be great to be able to set this up on their templates with the option of being able to split out the coding also so if an employee was working on several jobs.

100% agree - this is really important. the only way to do this at the moment is with manual Journals which is tedious, time-consuming and error prone!
No idea why it wouldn't be there as standard if 2 Tracking codes are available on all the other transactions.

As Xero does not provide multiple tracking categories to be linked to timesheet, I have to reverse the payroll journal and enter the GL with the job code. It is really time consuming by re-allocating the job code to each employee's pay, just like manually redoing the payroll.
