Payroll AU: Timesheets: Toggle pay items which can be seen in timesheets.
There is a recent feature where all pay items in employees pay templates can now be seen in employee timesheets, however employees can only enter data in the format HH:MM (max 23:59) when doing timesheets via mobile app. Many pay items don't use HH:MM format (e.g. allowances for car, meals). I would like to see 2 things:
1. The data format changed so that you have have other data entered, especially numbers as many pay items need this format.
2. I would like a toggle on each pay item in employees pay templates, which allows you to turn on/off whether employees can see this pay item.
The current workaround given to me by support is to take all pay items out of employees pay templates so they can't see on their timesheets, then enter these manually during your pay run. This is NOT an acceptable workaround, as it will vastly extend the time it takes to do a pay run and open it up to all sorts of human error. Employees should be able to enter data themselves in their timesheet, not have to send it to payroll admin in another manual way.
See support case CX0018021415.

Thanks for sharing your idea about limiting which pay items from the Pay Template appear in timesheets.
Regarding adding other units for allowances to timesheets, I'd suggest heading over and showing some support these existing ideas:
- AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances of other unit types
- Xero Me - Add Unit option to Timesheets
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.
