    Thanks everyone. We appreciate the thinking behind wanting to restrict which earnings rates employees can choose when they fill out a timesheet.

    Since this idea was first raised we’ve made a small update - You can now assign earnings rates to employees and these'll appear first in the Xero Me app when an employee enters a timesheet. Just a heads-up that any other earnings rates will still show underneath and can still be selected.

    As we continue to develop Xero Payroll in Australia this is something our product team have been keeping a close eye on. We’re planning work that’d let employees select only the earnings types in their Pay Template or the default rate from their employee record.

    When this work moves forward I’ll come back here and share an update with you all. 🙂

    I’ve worked out that instead of naming the earnings as ‘award rate level $X’ or whatever you assign to each employee, you can change the name of the earnings so for example ‘Bob - ordinary hours’, then you can have the option to show what you would like it to display as on their actual pay slip which is where you put there award rate level etc or whatever you used to have in the earnings name. But the earnings name is all the employees will see in their Xero Me app and not the in info you have put into the display name. Essentially this hides what award you have your employees on so each one of them, won’t be able to see it. Only what is on their individual payslip when they receive it. You just need to make sure on their pay template that you have selected their correct earnings name that you have assigned them to, then it all flows on from there! Hope this helps many people as it took quite a bit of playing around to work this out!
