AU Payroll - Historical Payslip Report (bulk download)
Create a report to show all payslips for an employee for a given time period. Currently these have to be downloaded one by one.
Hey everyone 👋thanks so much for your ongoing feedback and commitment to supporting this idea.
We understand the need for a straightforward process to download all payslips at once, particularly for WorkCover claims or employee requests where multiple payslips are required. We’re excited to let you know that our product team is now actively working on a solution to allow bulk downloading of payslips.
In the meantime, you can use the Payroll Activity Details report to get a detailed breakdown of each payslip. It's also worth noting that employees can access and download their own payslips directly through the Xero Me portal.
We'll keep you updated on our progress right here. 🙂

Would like facility to print payslips for casual employees. This facility is for community workers who don't have email addresses and rely on receiving paper payslips.

I too add my disappointment that Xero ignore so many basic functionality requests.
It can't be that hard to write a report that allows us to download bulk payslips for various periods and employees.
WHEN WILL YOU PAY ATTENTION AND GET THIS DONE????

Well said @sharonhyde
Xero - no response/update to this idea since November 2023. What is happening? some communication would be appreciated. Just finished downloading payslips for 6 clients ADMS lodgements. How time consuming and frustrating. -

OK XERO....................enough is enough.
You push beautiful accounting, we all need functional.
How dare you ignore the requests of your customers for such a long time.
I see we can use an addon to achieve our goal (add on at an extra cost)........might as well go elsewhere.
Any other business in Australia or NZ that ignores their customers requests for so long loses those customers. They go to where their needs will be met, even at an extra cost.
Time management is priority for everyone these days and XERO need to focus on functional, not beautiful........functional will always win !
Functional allows we bookkeepers and accountants to save time, take on new clients, expand our businesses.
Please listen to your customers XERO....whats holding you back ???? -

Hi Victoria, I agree it would be helpful and so many others have requested this too. I have done this manually and it is a very tedious process. More recently, I have used the Payroll Activity Report and filter by Employee as it gives provides payslip information ie gross wages, Tax, Super, Net Pay for a certain period of time, just not in individual payslip form.

Hi, this would be so helpful - I have an employee who needs 3 months of payslips for his mortgage broker. We pay weekly so he doesn't want to have 14 attachments to cover that period. Thanks.

Hi there, this would be extremely helpful and time saving especially when an employee puts in a workers compensation claim and we have to provide 12 months worth of payslips. Employee summary or detail reports are not acceptable in this instance.
One would think this option would already be available here in Australia. -

Why would this be available in the UK and not in AUS? Clearly you have the ability to program it so why not make it available to all users? Telling us there are no immediate plans for this is just so frustrating to read.

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!
