so important - how does the Payroll person know if employees require an allowance?

Timesheets - aside from just having an employee enter hours worked against each, it would be good to have a customizable timesheet that other fields could be recorded against the day that are not hours driven. For example - for one day have the employee enter 5hrs of time worked but also another field for a quantity driver - eg; enter quantity of 3. We have one client with a large number of employees that are remunerated via an hourly rate plus a quantity driver. The current workaround is the employee to submit the timesheet but also send a separate email to the general manager with a quantity number which then has to be entered manually into each payrun. Not very efficient. Ta.

We have employees that have allowances for KM's and overnight, this would be so much easier if they could be added to the timesheet and part of the approval process

Yes this is critical for us too. We must have the ability for staff to add their own kilometers, sleepovers and any allowances please. It creates a lot of work having to manually add literally hundreds of kilometers each week. Thank you developers :)

This is a very important and very fundamental function for a timesheet system to incorporate.
I'm surprised Xero doesn't already have this capability!

We really need to be able to add allowances to time sheets.

My client needs it so that you can enter allowances in the XeroMe App as that is how most employees add their timesheets. They can do it from the web version but that is not used by the employees.

ability to have allowances with different units should be high priority.
ridiculous for an employee to report their time sheets in two different ways (though Xero and other).

This is surely a quick fix for the dev team, and much needed for users.

being able to track allowances through payroll is critical for us. This is already offered in MYOB which we just transferred from.

Can we PLEASE have the ability to have allowances that use the total hours worked off the timesheets, automatically take the total hours worked and add that quantity into the payrun quantity for the allowances? Because of the STP change we have to enter the hours on every allowance manually and a lot of staff have more than one allowance. 32 staff with 4 allowances each is a lot of extra manual entry after we have just manually entered the timesheets :(

Not just required for mileage, but also other allowance types: laundry, broken shift, meals etc!

Yes please, as soon as possible!

It is amazing this feature is not already in place. We need it asap please xero.

This would be a great feature and save emailing back & forth with employees!

Yes please! I work for two companies, one needs this for travel and the other needs it for meal allowances. Please make it happen ASAP!

This is extremely critical for us. We have to pay staff according to km travelled and with no way to record this against timesheets we have to manually enter this information on payslips allowing for errors in overpayments and underpayments

It is extremely important to allow Fixed Rate allowances to Timesheets. Work around solutions we have implemented has too much room for error

this would be extremely useful to be able to include daily allowances that we pay for overseas travel

Can employees please be able to enter their travel kilometres per day just like they add their hours per day on their timesheets as it is very frustrating requesting employees to email or text km's to manually add to their payslip.
