GL Payrun - Bulk upload payroll details
Hello,
I wanted to take a moment to share a suggestion that I believe could significantly simplify our payroll process. It involves the implementation of a bulk upload feature, which would allow us to handle payroll data in a more efficient manner. We will need a template that contains essential details for each employee. These details may include the employee's name, rate of salary, and various pay items relevant to their compensation. This would reduce the time and effort invested in processing payroll.
Thank you,
Best regards,

Thank you for sharing and engaging with us about this on Product Ideas, team. While we understand wanting to see developments, as you may have recently read - We’ve been offering Pay Run to our Global Edition customers since 2011 to provide basic payroll functionality. However, over the years, we’ve focused our efforts on making solutions available which offer enhanced features and a deeper integration with the Xero platform, such as Xero payroll in AU, NZ and UK, we've also seen newer payroll solutions in regions available through the Xero App Store (such as Gusto in US).
With this focus, 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.
Bearing this change in mind, we do not have any further updates for Global Pay Run planned, and will shift this idea to Not planned.
For AU, NZ or UK customers there is Xero payroll that's specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. You can see more information of the plans this is available through our website, and reach out to our Xero Support team if you need any help transitioning. We also have multiple payroll app partners that integrate with Xero and you can review through our Xero app store.
