Xero - in employee section and only those with payroll admin rights can upload notes/documents such as medical certificates/TFN forms/super choice forms etc in the notes section to be able to track this better and with relevant payruns as well

Ability to select log start/end times and breaks in Xero Me.

Purpose: Users can easily log their start/end times and break in Xero Me rather than having to use a third party app.

Ability to set up standard week in Xero Payroll.

Purpose: To make users easily calculate their employee’s wages. Especially for industries that run 7 days a week.

I would like Xero to automatically lock the ABN on a client's file after the first STP event has been lodged. This will prevent clients changing the ABN when they change the entity's structure and reporting STP incorrectly across two ABNs. Undoing this mess is a nightmare.

Create a report to show all payslips for an employee for a given time period. Currently these have to be downloaded one by one.

Ability to send and generate online commencement forms from Xero Payroll.

Purpose: Employees can complete and submit their own online commencement forms, rather than having to ask the employers to submit it.

Ability to generate a report with start dates for all employees as well as birthday dates reports.

It would be great if you could set payslips to automatically email out to employees on a set day, i.e. pay day! Payroll is run up to a week before pay day and clients want employees to receive their payslips on pay day itself. Currently, I have to add it to my calendar to remind me to log in to each of my clients accounts on different days in order email the payslips manually. If it could be done automatically, it would save me some time.

Xero checks employees age against pay rate and that of the National Minumum Wage so it does not get missed. It's doesn't have to change it, just highlight thsat the employee's rate needs to ber changed

UK Payroll: Payment file csv format
Lloyds bank doesn't accept .txt format. It would be great if we could download a csv payment file to upload the employee pays to the bank.

When running the Payment Summary Details report for a previous financial year, the report does not show the dates of the financial year the data belongs to. The report is titled Payment Summary Details as at Today's Date. For example: it should show Payment Summary Details reporting period 1st July 2017 - 30th June 2018. For audit purposes, there is no way of determining the date range the reported data relates to.

Ability to see timesheet function for employees who are on salaries.

Purpose: To make the employees can keep track of their hours without affecting the pay runs.

Ability to create custom reports

Payroll doesn't refresh data unless you scroll up and down inside an employees pay all the time
Can you fix this ? Even if you had a button which you could hit to pull changes
into pay amounts quicker
It takes a long time waiting doing the payroll when putting in hours and different rates for each employee each week for the amounts to change and pull through properly

It would be great if Xero could implement an automatic change/suggestion to change to category A after an H-category employee doesn't meet the criteria anymore.
One of our employees just had his birthday and I noticed the category doesn't automatically update and there's no flag to say they might now be ineligible for a certain code.
I imagine there are more companies with the same problem where it's gone unnoticed that the National Insurance Category hasn't automatically updated as nearly everything else does and it's easy to miss a birthday!

Add other gender options for personal settings, non-binary & intersex

Ability for employee to add notes in timesheet. Detailing works performed.

Once expenses are approved it would be fantastic to have an option to "send" this to their next approved payslip rather than having to manually add this to the payslip.

Seems madness this isn't implemented already - what is the point in doing everything in Xero if you need to faff around making adjustments for details that are already in the system.

Employee's submit expenses - so you know who needs reimbursed already.

We should be able to adjust the holiday year to the UK tax year as that seems to be very common. ( There is already a discussion topic for this but I cannot see it on this list.
We should also be able to show holidays in days not hours.
We should be able to calculate holiday hours for employees that do not do a 5 day week. The hours taken on holiday need to be overwritten every time a PT employee books time off.
