Payroll - Assign multiple tracking categories to employees
When an employee works for multiple tracking categories within the business... Now, there is only one category that we can apply to in an employee card...however, sometimes, they work for more "tracking categories" ..it would be handy if we could select more category options while processing pay runs..

I also need to utilise this feature for our payroll only database - why is it not payroll setting related?

I've just went looking to set up employee groups for the first time and I can't believe this is part of the LIMITED TWO tracking categories available!!!
How is this not a separate payroll function!?

As we already have two tracking categories used for our accounts, we are not able to set up Employee Groups for payroll!!!
Employee groups should be in Payroll as Standard.
Be better if Payroll was a standalone package. -

Categories to be assigned in the actual payrun as opposed to Employee Details level.

Xero currently only allows individual employees to be assigned by one particular employee group under Employment in Employees for cost tracking purpose.
It is fairly common now that employees work across different departments in the organisation and it makes more sense if Xero enables more tracking categories to be assigned not under employees but in the actual pay run. This function shouldn't be limited to projects only. In MYOB, you are able to do so by assigning jobs to wage, tax and super when processing pay runs for all subscribers with payroll function.
