Adding to the deafening chorus requiring this available in AU. Are you listening Xero?

Just checking if this is available in AU yet? This seems like a pretty basic report to make available?

Very time consuming to have to do them one at a time. Please incorporate this in an update soon.

Team I've been following this thread for years and I have FOUND a way to help when there is evidence of each pay needed and their breakdowns. This feature is old and many of you may already know it's there. It may not be perfect or suit everyone however it serves a purpose. It gives the full breakdown of every payslip taxes, super, gross, net etc.

It's called the Payroll Activity Details report.
Select your employee and the dates and off you go. You can have the report in .pdf or excel.

What it doesn't do:
Give you individual .pdfs for payslips
Give you a final pay summary of their yearly or total earnings over the dates mentioned (there is another report for that - Payroll Activity Summary)

Its quiet laughable. No Immediate plans for AU and NZ even though it's a highly anticipated feature

@Paul Skirrow its UK Only so if you are in AU/NZ you will not find it

@Hannah It's great to hear that you've added it but I've spent 30 minutes looking and I can't find it in Xero or in any documentation. Can you clarify please?

WE do returns for employers in relation to apprentices where payslips are required for proof. When doing 3 months of payslips per person, sometimes up to 5 or more employees, this is extremely time consuming. What has been implemented for UK is urgently needed in AU.

You can go into your report settings and add your ABN (this is what I did to get around this) to the payroll report. We have about 6 apprentices and usually submitting this report for incentives is accepted about 75% of the time. Still ridiculous this has not been something addressed by Xero, but adding the ABN does somewhat help. It would have been much better if downloading multiple pay slips had been added rather than making other reports (that worked fine) 'more beautiful'. I find reading the payroll details report when running a payroll now to double check entries is so difficult with all of the ridiculous 'beautiful' lines they have added!

@Catherine_Burford I would say you have been a little lucky with this. When I did upload that report I actually received a phone call stating it is not compliant - must have the ABN on each payslip and the Activity Summary does not do this.
Xero - do we have any comments on this feature yet?

Hopefully this report will be available soon.
I have literally spent hours downloading numerous payslips by employee, to satisfy government regulation/requirements, it should not be this difficult.

@Melanie Louth We have to submit for apprentices too, but I run the Payroll Activity Summary report for each employee in the period requested rather than payslips. Have been doing it for 18 months and never had an issue. It is much faster.

@beau Gaudron - wow! thanks so much for sharing this hack - you have saved me so much time. I am very appreciative for your input and experience - shame Xero deems this operation as not very important.

THANK YOU!

@Beau Gordon.

Well, well, well ... aren't you clever! OK that's worked.

THANK YOU

@Mona Heta

Just type allow pasting and press enter in console as it mentions in the error then you should be able to paste the code and it will work i believe

The code is basically just emulating you clicking every download button, the warning is legitimate as you can issue code in that area that can be malicious but in this case its simply logging all instances of a download button and clicking them over and over again

@Beau Gordon. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I got a warning message:

Thankyou @Beau. Any other golden titbits ?

This isn't really an official way of doing it but to bulk download you can do the following in Chrome:

- Go the Employee
- Click the "Payslips tab"

Right click anywhere in the browser and click "Inspect"

In the window that shows on the right click on "Console"

Copy and paste the below in

// Select all elements with the class 'fa-download' and the data-bind attribute for downloading payslips
const downloadButtons = document.querySelectorAll('i.fa.fa-download[data-bind*="downloadPayslip"]');

// Iterate over each button and trigger a click event
downloadButtons.forEach(button => {
button.click();
});

Press enter

This will download every payslip on the page. You might initially get a warning saying please allow multiple file downloads

Note it will just download all the files, it wont name them to do with dates or anything like that

It is so frustrating for Work Cover claims where you have to download 52 weeks of paylips one by one......
Also from Apprenticeship Wage Claims where yu need 13 week of payslips.
This has always been an easy feature of other payroll providers I have used in the past (eg. KeyPay). They have it as a report you can run for a date range on a specific individual. End each payslip is on a separate page, but is in one pdf document. Maybe that's a possible way of looking at it Xero Product Team?

What a joke this is..I'm going to have to start looking for a different software solution I think. I don't want to invite past employees back onto Xero Me to download payslips. Most of my requests from the 72 employees I manage are from archived employees......I could be using my time so much better than clicking on a years worth of payslips one at a time for an archived employee..why is this only being prioritised for UK users?
