UK Payroll - Option to add dates and reminders into the Overview Calendar
Could the user have access to the calendar in payroll to allow them to manually input other dates that are important but not automatically fed into the calendar and also set up reminder alerts?
Sage allowed you to this which was really useful if you had to remove/add a benefit on a certain date.

AU Payroll - Revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a pay run has been filed
Please automatically revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a payrun has been filed. At the moment after a payrun is filed with the ATO we are taken back to the "Post Payrun" / "File" page. You then have to click on "Close" to be taken to the "Pay Employees" page. Why the extra step?

AU Payroll - Fixed amount leave requests for employs on an accrued leave balance
Currently, for monthly employees, Xero does not take into consideration the fact that they have been set up to be paid the same amount each month, therefore the days in the month are meaningless from a pay perspective. Unfortunately, this means that the basis leave accrues on to work out how many hours a public holiday/personal/annual leave day should be when leave is entered is also meaningless. Instead of defaulting to 7.6 (or 8) hours/day leave taken, it does a calculation based on the number of working days in a month. So if someone is being paid on the basis of a 7.6 hour day & leave is also accruing on that basis, but they then take leave in a month that has 22 days, the default for the day's leave will be 7.27 hours.
Obviously, this can be overridden, but when someone doesn't know that this needs to be done, the leave taken is nonsense.
There should be an option to set how many hours/day an employee works so that the calculation defaults to this each time.Currently, for monthly employees, Xero does not take into consideration the fact that they have been set up to be paid the same amount each month, therefore the days in the month are meaningless from a pay perspective.

AU Payroll - Monthly payroll tax report
An automatic monthly payroll tax report would be fantastic. I've noticed Xero cannot do an automatic calculation of Payroll Tax like MYOB can. MYOB allows you to select pay categories (pay items) to exclude and run a monthly payroll tax report.

Thanks for sharing and supporting this idea - while I don't have an update specific to this one, I thought you might be interested in the following:
Our AU Payroll team are testing some changes to Payroll reconciliation. The idea to have an automatic monthly payroll tax report is highly associated with payroll reconciliation and we feel that voters here would also have an interest in payroll reconciliation. They would love to hear from you!
They’re aiming to conduct some 1 on 1 interviews between 6 Feb - 16 Feb 2024, the interviews will last 45 minutes.
The purpose of the session: Participants will be asked to help with testing a prototype concept designed to enhance the AU payroll reconciliation process.
They aim to discover:
- Whether this conceptual solution meets your specific Payroll needs, and if it adds value to your Payroll reconciliation process?
- Whether this conceptual solution addresses your key struggles during Payroll reconciliation? What enhancements would you like to suggest?
If that sounds like something you’d like to get involved with, you can book here 👉 form removed since we've received enough interest.
- Heads up! Participants must be users of Xero AU Payroll, with experience of completing payroll reconciliation for 1 or more clients during EOFY

NZ Payroll - Read Only access
With audited clients , we normally only give Read only access, but this excludes payroll access. So either we need to access for them, what the require, or we need to change access level to standard , which is not idea. Can you not have a read only role, with the option to include Payroll?

View the xml submission receipt from HMRC in a user friendly manner
Currently you can only view the official submission receipts and their associated IRmark via an XML file. It would be nice to see this in a more user friendly manner and without all the associated coding tags and data.

UK Payroll - Notifications to disappear for all users once action has been taken
At the moment when one staff member accesses notifications on the main Xero dashboard and actions it i.e tax code changes the notification will not disappear for all users on the Xero subscription. It would be a good idea that this could disappear for all users once actioned to completion to ensure that work is not duplicated by two or three other staff checking that same notification.

Timesheets - default pay item
When entering timesheets for an employee, it would be great if the pay item defaulted to the employees pay template. When there are different departments and therefore different Pay Items setup, these are attached to the pay template for each employee, but when entering timesheet, you have to choose which one to use, as it defaults to the first one on the complete pay items list, which half the time is not right.

AUS Payroll Employee Summary Report
Payroll Employee Summary Report
Is there a way to have this report show the actual period the wages are for? Currently the report shows "for the period 17 April 2024 to 17 April 2024, which is the date the payroll is paid. BUT the period is actually for 10 April 2024 to 16 April 2024.

sick leave
We need sick leave to be recorded in days to line up with current NZ payroll legislation. 10 days sick leave. The current settings in hours only work for people who work the same hours on the same days. Anyone with variable hours or different hours on different days this does not work and manual accrual needs to be kept outside of payroll. Then leave balances need to be manually adjusted which is a lot of work. This has been an issue for many many years and would be good to get fixed.

Select the payable account for Deductions, Payroll Taxes and Post-tax Deductions pay types
The feature request is to allow the defining of current liability accounts for pay items with pay types set to Deductions, Payroll Taxes, and Post-tax Deductions. This will enable the tracking of payroll source deductions and taxes necessary for remittance reports to the tax authority (such as EI, CPP and income taxes for T4 and T4 summary completion in Canada).
There are two ways I believe Xero developers could achieve this goal.
Below is an explanation of what currently happens during pay runs:
For pay items with a pay type set to Wages, Allowances, or Non-taxable Allowances, the journal entry is credit Wages Payable the amount of net pay and debit the expense account defined when setting up the pay item. A separate pay stub is created for each employee that acts similar to a bill but is not editable. You must void the pay run and recreate if an error was made.
For pay items with a pay type set to Deductions, Payroll Taxes, Post-tax Deductions, or Employer Contributions, the journal entry is credit Accounts Payable for the full amount and debit the expense account of the expense account defined in the first pay item selected from the group above on the paystub, with exception of Employer Contributions which you can define the expense account when setting up the pay item. Xero will create a separate bill for each of these pay items in the name of the Contact defined when setting up the pay item.
To void a pay run, you must first remove all payments applied to bills or pay stubs related to that pay run. Voiding deletes all pay stubs and bills created for that pay run.
The first strategy would be to select a different accounts payable account for the pay items Deductions, Payroll Taxes, and Post-tax Deductions in the pay item settings.
The second strategy would be to allow editing of the bills.
I recommend the first strategy as the voiding logic would have to be changed as much. But this doesn't resolve the issue of having to void the whole pay run if you want to make a change of which account the transactions are posted to.

Payroll - Field for Preferred Name
Add a box to payroll for an employee's preferred name, for those who don't use their legal name as their everyday contact, it doesn't need to link to ATO, so no major coding, just be there for reference when contacting the employee. I have several clients with staff that use their middle name or a different version of their first name, that they prefer when being addressed, and it being there in payroll would simplify things.

AU Payroll - Pay employees across multiple bank accounts
Employees have requested their net pay to be paid across more than four bank accounts, though this function is not available. Increasing the number of bank accounts would assist employees and those processing payroll.

Bank Mediation Functionality
Add in bank transaction mediation functionality into Xero mainly for Payroll. Enable clients to pay both their employees and Inland Revenue automatically from Xero when posting a pay run. Instead of manually having to pay the employees through bulk pay files and IRD through manual transactions, connect Xero and do it from there automatically. Click "Pay Now" and its all done for you.

xero superannuation
Currently, Xero does not have the feature to determine who has made changes to a Superannuation Batch in Xero Superannuation. It would be helpful to have an Audit Trail moving forward, especially in situations where there is more than one Payroll Admin user in a file.
