AU Payroll | Payroll activity summary report - Select a group of employees
When generating the Payroll Activity Summary report, it would be good if I could select certain employees.
Currently you can only choose an individual or all employees.
Hiya everyone, as you may have seen we've released a new version of the Payroll Activity Summary report for AU and UK versions of Xero payroll. While it's still not possible to select multiple individual employees to run in this report, what you can do is run the report for an Employee group.
At this time we don't have plans for developing the ability to select and run the report for multiple employees, however we'll continue to track this here and update if there's any progress.

Hi Kelly, I've just looked for both of these functions and you can only create an employee group using the tracking categories which are already limited to TWO!!
I already use both tracking categories for other reports in the system.Can you PLEASE update so either payroll groups are a separate function or allow this report to be selected on multiple employees.

It is very frustrating not being able to do a report on a select amount of employees, I would not have thought that this would be such a difficult feature to implement. When running other reports you can select certain contacts etc, why can't it be that you can select certain employees when running a report?

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.

Must be able to filter this report by Tracking category - it is the only report for current payroll data that allowed filtering by tracking category

I use reports like this every month when I do payroll tax. Last month, I could filter by an employee group, so I could group my employees by state for each state's separate payroll tax return - this month, I can no longer filter by group, so I have to get the values for Each. Individual. Employee. In. Each. State. And Then. Add. Them. Up. And. Hope. I. Made. No. Typos.
It's an absolute waste of time.

We require this info on a monthly and quarterly basis to report info to various govt agencies. Can get the information required from different reports and combining in a spreadsheet, but is very messy and time consuming. Be awesome to have this option instead.

This would be very useful especially when trying to calculate backpay of a pay increase for all staff

It would also be very handy to be able to do a report that tells us the hours worked in total for each employee for the year or a specific time frame. This would be very handy for working out FTE when needed

Would be helpful if there was a monthly report that I could someone in our works place to see what employee is off each month but looking in Xero there in no report. Please can someone look into this as a priority which is needed.

As a new Xero user, am staggered this report is not available!
We are in the Social Welfare area and have to report total hours and total remuneration to the Victorian Portable Long Service Leave Authority every quarter. Same applies to Securty industry and Cleaning Industry in Victoria -

Ability to show selected group and employee names in headers on payroll reports would be a great help. I lodge payroll tax for multiple states (aka "groups") and would like to know which report is which after printing, without having to re-check Xero.

When generating the payroll activity summary report, currently if wanting to have a report showing each person individually, you have to select each person.
It would be good if you can generate one report with all employees listed individually -

Be able to report on muliple selected employee groups at once (but not all employee groups).

It is absolutely necessary to have this report - for LSL & AL requirements amongst other reporting benefits.
We MUST have a single report that identifies all wages categories by quantity/hours and $ for all employees as individuals (rather than lumping them all in together). This report should be show all wages categories across the page & all selected employees down the page and it must be downloadable into excel.

Look at this link on Xero where others are asking for it too :

Report functionality to select multiple employee groups into one Payroll Activity Summary report.

This would be helpful when you require to just select our Apprentices or Trainees.
As you need to extract payroll supporting quarterly data when processing a claim for Govt Employee incentives. -

This one is important for the businesses which have employees under a specific industry award and where the employees receive penalty rates for after hours and weekend shifts. In order to calculate their AL and LSL pay out with the correct loading amount, this breakdown will be very important. Thanks

I would like to be able to filter payroll activity summary report so that I can get the details per active employee. At the moment, I can either select individual one bye one or when I select all, it doesn't give me the breakdown per employee, which is really frustrating.
