Unpaid leave
Currently there is no option for unpaid sick leave for an employee. It is important to record unpaid leave taken accurately and also display this on the payslip.
When adjusting the hours paid or work to ensure an employee does not go into a negative sick leave balance, it does not show as unpaid leave on the payslip or reporting.
A negative sick leave balance should not be automatic, it should be a prompt and choice as to whether the business wants to risk paying sick leave in advance of entitlement.
Leave without pay and Unpaid sick leave should always…1 voteHey team, thanks for suggesting this one!
Xero comes with some default leave types already created, however if these don't suit your business' needs, you can follow the steps in our 'Add additional leave types and assign them to your employees' article to create some new ones.
You'll have the option to create paid or unpaid leave types, these can then be assigned to employee's with a relevant accrual type.

UK Payroll - Suggest the next available employee number
If xero payroll could suggest the next available employee number that would be so helpful, instead of having to scroll through the employee list and work out which number was last used.
18 votesHi everyone, returning a few months on from our last update we're going to move this idea to ‘delivered’. The team have recently automated the generation of the employee number 🎉 Initially this is just for numeric employee numbers but they're also looking into how this can be done for non-numeric ones too.
Thanks for all your support on this idea!

AU Payroll - STP finalisation report in PDF
I've noticed the Payment Summary Details Report no longer captures all the data ie RFBA that is input during the STP finalisation process. Would be great if we could have a tidier and shorter one (selecting what you want) rather then the CSV file.
7 votesHi Community - thanks for all your feedback on this idea!
This morning we enabled PDF exports for the STP finalisation screen, and these exports will include all fields, including RFBA.
There was also some requests for the ability to edit what's included in this pdf export. Conscious that this update doesn't quite deliver that, so I've spun that off in to a seperate idea 👉 'AU Payroll - Edit PDF export of STP Finalisation'.

Payroll: View shift times and comments when approving timesheets
I love the fact that our girls can do their timesheets with start and finish times and leave a comment. However, I need to see this when approving the timesheets for payroll.
If their could be a way for the approved payroll person who approves the timesheets to see the start, finish, comments and total hours would be perfect. Otherwise I will have to keep using the old system of excel spreadsheet.
7 votesHi everyone, as you might have seen, earlier this year we added in start and end times as well as notes in time entries to Xero Timesheets.
I’m pleased to let you know that we’ve added a bit of extra functionality to these two updates, for the manager view. If you’re authorised to approve timesheets you now have the ability to view start and finish times, any comments added, as well as total hours in both the web and Mobile app 🎉
Thanks again for all your feedback!

Timesheets: Make tracking categories optional
Xero Me tracking feature in app.
Please make it optional to complete the tracking function to submit a timesheet. Not all business have employees that use tracking categories. This means many employees are unable to submit a timesheet . Making timesheet tracking optional allows all to use the app1 voteHey Tim, Totally understand that not all business will use tracking categories for their employees. You can turn off timesheet tracking for an organisation by setting timesheet categories to 'None' in your Payroll Settings. Employees will then no longer be asked to select a category when submitting timesheets.

XeroMe
I have had to re-run a payroll before when an employee's pay has been incorrectly calculated. When you re-run the payroll, XeroMe did not update with the new payslip information. Surely this should happen automatically.
1 voteHey Elre, thanks for sharing this idea!
Xero Me should actually already behave as you've described - any changes to a posted pay run will generate a new payslip for each employee.
I'd recommend raising this one with our support team, as they'll be able to assist with troubleshooting. We'll close this idea off as delivered in the meantime.

AU Payroll: Differentiate leave loading on payroll reports
Could you please change the name on the Payroll Activity Details for Leave Loading Please. Not sure why you call it Annual Leave. It seems to be in the background and I can't change it. See picture attached.
4 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
The Payroll Activity Details report now shows a breakdown of Annual Leave - Leave Loading separate from Annual Leave.
Thanks again for your feedback.

AU Payroll: Entering a branch number when filing Single Touch Payroll
Include a section to enter a branch number when filing STP, we have come into an issue where a few of our clients have changed branch numbers throughout a financial year and the process of changing the branch numbers is quite time consuming. I believe if we had the option to include a branch number when filing STP data it would save a lot fo time and confusion.
1 voteHey Telena, thanks for sharing your idea!
As part of our STP 2 updates, we've just released our 'Reset and finalise YTD amounts' tool. This allows you to zero out the amounts reported against the wrong ABN or Branch number and resubmit them against the correct ABN or branch number.
This replaces the previous process of filing negative pay runs to zero out the incorrect amounts with the ATO, and speeds up the time taken to correct your filings.
You can read more about this tool in our 'Correct your STP data after a change in ABN or branch number' article.

AU Payroll: Adding Work from Home Hours on Payslips
Due to the ATO now requiring employees to keep a record of the hours they work from home in order to claim a percentage of things like internet and electricity bills on their tax return, would it be possible to add this as a Pay Item for employee payslips so it can be easily referenced and submitted for tax purposes.
1 voteHey Nicole, thanks for sharing your idea!
Understand how it'd be useful for employee's to have this information available at tax time.
Just to clarify, it's already possible in Xero to create a custom pay item.
If you need to distinguish between WFH and office hours, you can create a custom pay item for "work from home".

AU Payroll: Start and end times for desktop Xero Me timesheets
Id' like to see the start/stop and break times added to web version too.
It's great that they are available on the XeroMe Mobile app, but even though Australia requires this information, I can not require staff to download a workplace app to their private phones.
If the format was available on the web version, staff would have no choice but to supply the information.

Remove the automatic bank holidays been added, If you could add the days worked then it would work but it is adding bank holiday payments even if someone has left a week before.

Pay Run Journal - Add actual payment date
I run alot of unscheduled payruns due to real estate sales commission payment and bonuses.
It would be helpful if the Pay Run Journal report shows the actual Payment Date. Eg. I have an employee who is set-up for a regular monthly retainer wage paid on the 27th of each month. However during this monthly payment period, they can receive multiple other commssion payments. Can this please be put forward as an enhancement request to the developers?1 voteThis feature is already available, through the Pay Run Journal report 😊
When posting the automatic pay journal, Xero will always use the payment date you've selected in the pay run for the date of the expense.
This is the date you'll see on the journal report. You can read more about on our 'Review payments using the Pay Run Journal' support article.
