  1. Add in timesheet hours in addition to 'Regular' hours. We have a number of employees with regular hours but the often have extra hours or shifts from our shift program (Deputy). When importing timesheets from Deputy into Xero the extra shifts override the regular hours which results in having to manually add an extra line for the regular hours. The system already allows to have to two lines for 'Ordinary Hours'.

  2. Live timesheet entries will be awesome, instead of having to wait a whole fortnight to check entries from Xero Me(only when submitted), we can check them daily or on a regular basis.

  3. As an existing Nest pension employer - we moved our payroll from an external supplier - in house to our existing Xero account. However, after repeated error messages - "Pension filling rejected by pension provider. Download and read the error report to learn about the problem." and 3 hours on the chat/phone/email with Nest saying ot was a Xero issue - I eventually got the response from Xero support below - it's a known error with the first submission! How have they either not fixed it - or at least offer help and guidance to everyone who all those who…

  4. Can a BACS report be created for the companies that don't use the bank faster payment facility on Xero. We have recently transferred to Xero from Sage and having a BACS report that you can cross reference employees to their bank details would be helpful. If we have a new start or an employee who changes their bank details, we have no reference to this on the current Xero Payroll Reporting facilities. Currently we are having to record bank details on a separate spreadsheet to facilitate this issue.

  5. Workers Comp pay item leave accrual idea.

    There is an option to "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" when setting up the WC pay item.

    What would be good is the option to accrue for AL or PL separately as this alters according to state law eg in WA, AL is accrued but not PL on WC payments.

  6. NZ Payroll. Contractors invoicing us on piece of work basis, we need to deduct WT and to do Payday filing with IRD. In Xero Payroll, can Xero split "Contractors" from "Employees" clearly in all reports (I see many others have asked for that already) and add a "bill feature" to Contractors in Xero Payroll similar to that we use in Xero Payables so we can copy/edit them in future? This will enable saving contractor's bills in each pay run and use bill layout document vs timesheet. Otherwise, if contractors bills that include WT are processed in Xero Payables, can Xero…

  7. Payroll journal when posted to Xero should not be open to be edited by any staff but limited to senior access or a double approval process. I find that junior staff can and have edited journals coming in from Simple pay on Xero which we only pick up at year end when doing a salaries recon

  9. Very recent change to the Payroll Activity Details report, now Units capped at two decimal places, changed within the last fortnight.
    This needs to revert to four decimal places, as that is what is allowed when entering your payroll. Why has this been changed as now, the Payroll Activity report is the only available report to use to check a payroll, is no longer of any use as it does not reflect the correct data entry.

  10. A timesheet needs to have the option of adding a start time and an end time. The added option of being able to add a note so employees can say what job they have been doing would also be greatly beneficial. Surely a basic necessity for a timesheet. Until this has been implemented we will have to continue using paper timesheets.

  11. Payroll Summary Filters

    Would like to have a filter in drop down box to select current employees ;archived or terminated employees. Currently you can only select all employees or a selection of individual employees. Would save time preparing Long Service Reports if this new filter option was available.

  12. Suggest adding the ability to add missed timesheets from previous pay periods to the current payrun.

    I know you can do this manually, but it would be more efficient if it could be done automatically.

  13. Suggest the ability to apply work patterns to part time employees. For example, we have a part time employee who works 7 hours on Mon, 6 hours on Tues and 6 hours on Wed.
    At the moment, if a Public Holiday falls on a Monday, it does not correctly work out hours worked.
    The same happens if Annual Leave is taken; incorrect hours are calculated which affects AL accruals.
    Hours worked have to be calculated and added manually.

  15. an employee has moved to NZ, we are still paying him wages but currently Xero doesnt allow for STP lodgement thorugh the payroll functionality, would be good to have this added, No PAYG & No super is aplicable because of the treaty between AU and NZ - also would be good to have the capability to add in his NZ address to his employee details

  16. I work for a company where our employees can work on multiple contracts with different pay rates and different working hours for example 2 hours tues and wed at £11.50ph and thurs at £11.75.

    It would be useful if you could allocate an hourly rate to a specific working pattern and then be able to allocate multiple patterns to one employee

  17. A report that provides details of employees leave to be able to see the leave accruals and leave taken for the pay period.
    This would help as an audit trail and when preparing a salary budget or during a salary review.

  18. Where an employee takes unpaid leave for more than one week, it would be helpful if you could enter in the date in which the unpaid leave applies from so that the anniversary date can automatically be reset. The current set up is rather antiquated, and needs to be automated to ensure accuracy and ease of use.

  19. Once a timesheet has been deleted for a given pay period by an employee, both the employee and the payroll administrator should be able to create a new timesheet for this same period.

    We have had instances where the employee has accidently deleted their timesheet after it was declined by payroll administrator (instead of fixing it), and once deleted there is no ability for either employee or payroll administrator to create another timesheet for this period (I submitted a support request to Xero and they confirmed this).

  20. Sometime in the last week, the order in which data is presented in the Payroll Activity Summary report has changed from
    - Earnings
    - Tax
    - Super
    - Net payable
    - Actual paid
    to
    - Earnings
    - Net payable
    - Actual paid
    - Super
    - Tax

    Put it back, please, it makes no sense to have something other than Wages less Tax equals Payable. Also reinstate the highlighted total lines in this report and in the Payroll Employee Summary, I'm ashamed to send this to my client with their IAS, it's not readable enough.

    The two screenshots I've attached are…
