UK Payroll - Option to select/deselect 'Other Previous Earnings' feature on payslips

Remove the feature of 'Other Previous Earnings', or an option of allowing us to choose whether to have this feature. Grouping all previous pay items into 'Other Previous Earnings' in the same financial year is confusing and our employees won't understand what it is for. Please get rid of it!

    Yes, it is very confusing for our Employees as well, can it be broken down or got rid of and can we get a Report to say what these are? and how do we find the "Other earnings"

    just noticed this for 1st time checking a leavers draft payslip. how do I find where the breakdown is for this description to explain to the employees

    This new feature introduced by Xero is not helpful - now when looking at payslips, we don't know what the other earnings are, and have to run other reports to get the information.... but employees can't run those reports, so they are completely in the dark!!

    I've just encountered this on May payroll and, being in England, the tax year has just started so I can at least compare to April payslips to understand what it is. But I can see how more confusing it will be for employees further into the year when they just want to see a clear breakdown of YTD Earnings. Please remove this from payslips!!!

    STP phase 2 is an Australian Taxation office requirement and not an UK HMRC requirement. Please stop it

    It makes no sense at all, and is taking me hours to break down for each employee

    Please remove an 'Other previous earnings' line on payslips. It is confusing and employees want to see clearly what they received during a year e.g. how much bonus they were paid etc.

    Centerlink has asked my employee what it is..... trying to explain it to him is difficult.
