AU Payroll: Restrict which earnings rate an employee can select in timesheets

Ability to restrict which pay items an employee can view in Xero Me to only those that apply to that employee. Without this ability employees sometimes choose pay items that do not apply to them. Most often this is picked up at the authorisation stage but why allow the possibility for error in the first place.

    please do this we should be able to select for each employee whether this applies or not.

  • David Vanderjagt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't understand why this is not locked, it makes no sense, causes confusion, potential for errors and considers how different everyone's rates are. I realise in the timesheet they can't see the rate but it feels close to breaching ethical privacy considerations.

    Please fix ASAP!
    Please lock it according to what is set up on the employee pay template

  • Tim Heading commented  ·   ·  Report

    Fix this ASAP. It would be a minor coding correction in Xero Me.
    Limit the visible pay rates to what is on an employees pay template - SIMPLE.

    It has caused major issues in our business with employees questioning each others rates of pay.

    This fix is urgently needed. Organisations that use award rates need to update those award rates in one place in payroll each year. You can only adjust rates across multiple employees by setting up extra Ordinary Hours earnings pay items, but then all these pay items show up as options on every timesheet, giving employees visibility across the organsation as to which award rates are being used in payroll. Completely unacceptable breach of privacy for a payroll system. Fix immediately.

    The employee should only be able to select the pay rate assigned under their pay template, rather than any pay rate available. Please fix.

  • Daniel Bromley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely ridiculous you can choose a pay rate not relevant to to you. Surely this can be fixed quickly.

  • Aileen Pennington commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is really important. I am sure amny of us would be happy to accept the subs increases we have been receiving if more time was put into Payroll as a whole.

    We would like to restrict which leave types are displayed to employees in the MyXero app. For example, we don't want employees to be able to choose leave without pay, but we need it in case they negotiate LWOP with their manager and with HR's approval.

    This would be a great idea as I have employees selecting supervisor to get a hirer rate of pay, as this shows as an option on their xero me app. I would just like the pay item that is assigned in the template.

  • Krystal Ciaglia commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have 30 odd clients using xero for payroll, and most avoid using the timesheet function because of this issue.
    The employee should only be able to select the pay rate assigned under their pay template, rather than any pay rate available.

  • James Stevenson commented  ·   ·  Report

    100% agree, especially since selecting anything from the My team options stops the timesheet from being able to be accepted. It is completely useless and only causes issues and confusion.

    Xero Me - Hide all pay items and only show relevant categories.

    Currently on Xero Me, when going to submit a timesheet, you can choose any pay item that has been set up on Xero.

    These options are divided into "Self" or "My team" to identify which items an employee has been set up with on their timesheets.

    Why include the "my team" section? Please remove all other options so employees can only view and select from the pay categories they have been allocated on their employee pay template.

    There is no need to have that added confusion whatsoever for the employees and have people selecting incorrect, higher paying rates.
