Custom payroll reports
It would be good if payroll reports could be customised, i.e. after making a change to an existing report, such as Gross To Net report, the new template could be saved as a Custom Report.
At the moment, it isn't possible to save the updated format, so I have to make the same changes to the standard report every month.

I would sadly agree with the last comment about filing things in the "too hard" basket - it seems that xero is only interested in prettying up and changing its existing reports (not often an improvement, BTW) rather than acting on simple requests often many years old. The developers could do with having to use their own software for a bit...

@Parker adam - you obviously havent been using Xero for long. Critical needs are simply put in the too hard basket by Xeros so-called "support" ........

This is a fantastic idea. Custom payroll reports would be a game-changer for small businesses using Xero. It's great to see Xero's platform evolving based on user suggestions. Such reports would undoubtedly provide valuable insights and flexibility.

I would really like a custom report that allows us to see actual salary and superannuation amounts paid in the calendar month despite when the pay run was paid.

It would make things much easier each month to split our PAYE payments between departments and bank accounts.

As reporting Wages for QLEAVE especially in the Community Services industry this is A Critically required report that I can show as a summary of employees and what their Gross Wages is summarised by for all employees, not having to do it ONE BY ONE.

I would also like to be able to save a custom report rather than changing it every week

Why oh why can't Xero have the functionality to create custom reports? Even basic reports require downloading to Excel and data manipulation. For example - Payroll Tax. To create a report to allow calculation of payroll tax is an exercise in frustration with Xero. Other packages allow you to create the report once and then save it as a custom report.
Just another field where Xero has really dropped the ball. -

A custom deductions report using the pay history report would be ideal for weekly reporting for withheld staff deductions as there is no reducing balance option for deductions.

Will Payrun Summary report help? It gives the summary info without details.

It would be useful to be able to print a gross to net payroll summary before posting the payroll.
We prepare payroll for clients and they don't really like to detailed report as it is long-winded, but like to see a summary of each employee's gross to net pay to check before confirming that they are happy for us to post the pay run. -

Hear! hear! It adds time and frustration to have to customise the Gross to Net every time.
