Payroll - Feature for Cayman Islands
I'm an experienced chartered accountant relatively new Xero user. I'm flummoxed by the inclusion of payroll transactions in the "bills to pay" section. While the detail is hidden from some users, some personal payroll transactions (related to overpayment) have become viewable by users without payroll access. Even summary transactions should not be viewable by people without payroll access.
All payroll transactions should be in a separate section to avoid confusion and any breach of privacy.
I cannot, for the life of me, see the rationale for including payroll transactions in this area in the first place.

Appears that you're based in Cayman Islands, Steve. When setting up your Xero org this will have set the region as Global, which doesn’t have Payroll.
Our Global edition of Xero has the pay run feature, which is a simple payrolling tool.
As this is a more simple payroll feature, when a pay run is processed it posts a transaction to be paid into the 'bills to pay' screen, like you described.
If you'd like to have the UK regional payroll product and submit to the HMRC, you'll need to set up a new organisation as paying taxes in the UK.
