We use multiple tracking categories and at this stage it is not possible to report payroll on anything other than Employee group and even that is poor. Please include a filter option on payroll reports to be able to provide accurate reporting.

There are a few different requests for this feature, all with different votes on each. They should all be combined together.

Please add another column for the tracking category (employee group). At the moment I need to do this manually and it takes time. Yes, I can filter by group, but what would be more useful, is to have subtotals per group and a total for the whole company. Not currently possible and quite time-consuming to achieve. This is a basic report required for calculating payroll tax for different employee groups.

I wouldl ike to add to this the following extension of this idea

I have tried the tracking fields and it now means that tracking appears in every transaction, across all source documents even where we do not need it.

Surely there has to be a better way to be able to track payroll, and just payroll by state and not have it infiltrate into every other area of the company reporting.

Xero has all the required fields in it in the payroll records, so it should not require a tracking field, it should be able to be accessed with a specific report created by Xero that accesses these fields and can be generated for payroll tax and workers compensation insurance purposes as well.

This would avoid the need for tracking fields and simplify the payroll reports for just what we need in these two areas.

Not only that it would be far easier for Xero to create the precise Payroll tax and Workers Compensation report, as there must be many clients that need this report.

Ability to obtain a report on the actual costings on each timesheet category. Currently only able to report on the hours paid. Would be helpful to find out costing on each category. Presently have to manually calculate by multiplying hourly rate charge and hours (plus super).

So important to be able to see how our 3 different business units are performing. One staff member works in two of the 3 units and we can split the wages expense on her payslip but not in reports.
Thank you

Adding the ability to include the tracking category on the Payroll History report would make Payroll more useful. And be able to filter by a particular tracking category.
If this isnt coming in the near future please let us know as I will be changing payroll software as currently I am maintaining a separate spreadsheet for this purpose.
Thanks

Agree - need a report that shows Employee Gross Wages, Tax, Super etc by 'Department'.
Also agree with Cate Coote comment - need to be able to add employees to multiple departments.
This is a real shortfall of the Xero wage function

Need to be able to code sick, annual leave to job codes/department codes.

Currently I have to do manual journals which is frustrating.

show tracking options in Payroll summary report

In many small businesses they have different departments.

Unfortunately each employee may work in many different departments through the week but can only choose one tracking category on there employment card.

Small businesses in this position do not want the projects model as it doesn't work for them and is an additional cost they cannot afford.
