Payroll UK - Support for Plan 1 and Plan 2 student loans concurrently
Payroll UK Student Loans
Some employees can have Plan 1 and 2 at the same time. At present Xero payroll can only deal with 1 plan. The option should exist for an employee to select more than 1 Plan and the correct deductions be made.
This is how repayments are allocated between Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans
For the 2023/24 tax year the repayment thresholds are as follows:
• Plan 1 loans: £22,015
• Plan 2 loans: £27,295
If you earn below £22,015 you will make no loan repayments.
If you earn between £22,015 and £27,295 you will make Plan 1 loan repayments only.
If you earn over £27,295 you will make repayments which will be spread across both your Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans. This means that repayments calculated on income between £22,015 and £27,295 will be allocated against your Plan 1 loan and repayments calculated on your income above £27,295 will be allocated against your Plan 2 loan.It's important that Xero Payroll can deal with this scenario.

Timesheets AU - 'Select All' for unapproved timesheets
A 'select all' feature to approve all unapproved timesheets would be great.
8 plus years now of having to tick in a tiny box for all my casual/part-time staff is getting a little tedious, especially when a slight error opens the timesheet up and you have to then back out of the page to start all over again.
It shouldn't be too hard from a coding point of view should it?
Thanks, Bob2 votes -
UK Payroll - Select file type for batch payments
At the moment Xero only produce standard 18 format files for paying employees electronically. There is very minimal banks that accept this kind of format. I I think it would be of great use if we could upload a template file to Xero of the format our bank accepts and it then produces this type of file for us.

UK Payroll: Report on employee age
With ever changing minimum wage requirements (UK only) which are based on an employees age it would be useful to be able to have a 'one pager' report that lists the employee name and the current age. Their age is data which is already in Xero as part of the employee profile. A report would be useful to help payroll staff check who needs to move onto new wages / salaries based on age groups.

UK Payroll: Allow leavers to access payslips after 14 days
Leavers can only access payslips 14 days after leave date. 14 days is not enough time as the final pay ay not have been processed at this time. So final payslips then becomes a manual process. If P45's could also be accessed that would be great.

Global Pay Run - Treat created bills as regular bills
When you finish a pay run, the payslips and bills related to tax authorities are created like bills, but are not. You can view these faux bills as other bills, but you can't batch pay by cheque payslips nor will the bills sync with other softwares like a payables platform such as Plooto. This prevents the automated workflows created around bills from being used on pay runs.

AU Payroll - Set the number of decimals places to 2
set the number of decimals places e.g. 2 so when Xero applies a award factor e.g. 1.5x award rate the results only displays to two decimals place in their pay.
Awards are published to two decimals places that's all we are required to pay in Australia.
Fixing the rounding wastes so much time.1 vote -
NZ Payroll - Include draft pay runs in Payroll History reports
Have an option to include Draft Pay runs in the Pay History report.
When working with clients, we want to send a custom report to them to show them the current pay run vs prior pay runs. We do this through exporting data in to excel and manipulating the data to run a report - but there is no way to do this without posting the pay run, running the report, and then reverting the pay run to draft.

AU Payroll: Report for Unused Leave Paid out on Termination
When using the Leave Paid out on Termination feature in xero, the paid out leave is recorded in the Holiday Leave Accrual category. This means we are unable to run a report showing the value of unused entitlements paid out on Termination. This is important information for Workcover Reconciliations etc. Please set up a report for Unused Leave Paid out on Termination.

UK Payroll - Process payments after employee has left
Please allow payments to be made to an employee after they have left and their P45 has been generated. Sage, for example, allows you to include past employees in a pay run and tick a 'payment after leaving' box which gives the correct 0T tax code and produces the correct FPS submission for HMRC. This is a very basic part of payroll that needs to be included in this system, the option to create a new employee file in order to pay them is not complying with HMRC and is not an acceptable alternative.

Xero Me: Allow employees to self-service change of address
Xero Me - change of address - employee can lodge a notification through Xero Me to payroll for your change of address. The change could be approved by the payroll administrator and it immediately updates Xero, then an email would be sent to the employee to say the change of address has occurred. This would reduce administration time, spelling errors in address and encourage employees to keep their details up to date.

UK Payroll - Change payroll journal date
The Payroll Journal dates are currently fixed to be the Pay Date, which is incorrect for any business that has hourly paid employees which must pay after end of month, when all hours are calculated.
Every month all of our P&L figures are wrong because of this. Nobody wants to have to waste time doing loads of manual journals every month, which have the potential for mistakes, when Xero has created a system which is supposed to automate this process.
Others have raised it but Xero never replied, see link at the bottom below.
The solution is:
Create "Payroll Journal Date" as a configurable field in payroll settings, so that organisations can choose this for themselves. It should default to the period end date for that payroll, because as long as it's paid by the 5th of the month, it is fine from a tax perspective.
OR if creating a new field is too much effort, simply change the journal date to always be the period end date, not the payment date.
Probably Payroll was developed to create journals on the payment date because nobody had considered hourly paid industries - most salaried jobs pay within the month. But for many industries this is impossible, so this should be standard functionality and we should not be left with messed up P&L.

AU Payroll - Show leave balance on payslip without accruals
Australian Payroll - sick leave on payslip - want to show balance without accrual in the payrun, and to be able to do this after employment has commenced. Currently this is only possible if you allocate the full balance to employee's at the start of the employment. Historically this has not been done and it needs to be changed to avoid staff confusion and having to reset the leave each payrun.

AU Payroll | Xero Me - Timesheets default start and finish times
Ability for the employee in Xero Me. to be able to create a timesheet template so that they don't have to complete the start, finish and break times for every day every pay period.
30 votesHi community 🙋
Thanks for starting this idea! Did you see last week that our Product Team released an update that helps speed things up on Xero Me Mobile? They’ve enabled the ability to copy previous time entries in start-end timesheets on a per day basis. To do this, enter your time entries as usual for the first day in your timesheet, and then select the “copy from [date]” option when adding a new time entry for a consecutive day.
The team are interested in further exploring improvements in this area, but at this stage there are no firm plans to progress this idea. They’ve got their eyes on the ground though - closely monitoring your ideas, votes and comments. -
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.
