When running reports to review Staff costs & looking into account transactions, Payroll journals provide descriptions that don't give correct/clear context. For example, under Employers Pension Contributions, the description provided is "Benefits" rather than Employers Pension Contributions. Or under Employment Costs it just says Earnings rather than "Gross Earnings". A final example was when an employee took unpaid leave, however the only description provided was "Deductions". This does not reflect clear context. It would be helpful if Xero had the means to be able to customise these descriptions or maybe have the option to ask Payroll/Reports to mirror the descriptions provided in the Pay Item settings or use the name of the Pay Item as the description?
The present work around is to either use Transaction Listing Details Report as an extra document or go into the pay run to locate the contextual information but this doesn't enable a means to provide physical data for external parties that do not have access to Payroll.
