Global Payroll - Support for multi currency payroll
Suggestions:
The Payroll /Or Payrun system can also be currency optional
Companies are becoming more international. The online office model is not limited to the workplace, and salaries will be paid in different currencies. This is probably going to be a trend.

We appreciate the input and interest this idea has received overtime. However as you may have recently received word - We’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
This also means that we don't have any plans for further development of our Global Pay Run product, and will move any ideas related to this on this site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements, you may want to explore transitioning to Xero Payroll, alternatively we have multiple app partners that integrate with Xero that you can review on our Xero app store. Thanks

I would like to request the addition of multi-currency support within Xero’s Global Pay Run feature. Currently, it seems that Global Pay Run only supports transactions in the base currency, which limits the ability to manage payroll for employees paid in different currencies effectively.
As a business that handles payroll across multiple currencies (e.g., AUD, USD, LKR), the ability to process pay runs in various currencies directly within Xero would significantly streamline our payroll management and reduce manual adjustments.
Implementing this feature would benefit many organizations with international operations or diverse employee bases. It would enhance the functionality of Xero for global payroll management and improve the overall user experience.
Thank you for considering this request.

To allow payrun to be listed in a different currency besides organization base currency.
