It would be really useful to provide a function where we can change the calculations within xero to calculate average hours using 52.14 weeks rather than 52.

Payroll reports that include tracking category
To be able to file a Gross to Net report and subtotal by tracking category. It's the only way that we would be able to report per category of worker. This is built into Sage and really important for a lot of businesses.

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.

AU Payroll - Option to set week ending date on Timesheet Detail report
The week ending period on the Timesheet Detail Report is Monday to Friday and cannot be adjusted.
Oaur pay week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. We have to duplicate data on an Excel spreadsheet for reporting for management.
It would be very useful if the week ending period could be edited so we could use the reporting in Xero and save time processing payroll.

AU & UK Payroll - Show leave balances on payslip in days and hours

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.

Payroll - Option to edit the Payroll dashboard
It would be helpful to edit the layout of the Overview payroll dashboard, as you can do with the normal Xero accounting dashboard.
I can't understand why the 'pay employees' widget is at the bottom, surely running payroll is the primary function so why isn't that at the top? Not all business use the leave and timesheet function, they should be considered secondary.

allocate annual leave/sick leave /superannuation to a project/job
Currently Xero does not assign annual leave and public holiday to a project/job as timesheet doesn't have this function.
Superannuation generates from payroll (pay run) , however, there is no place to allocate superannuation to different projects/jobs as well.2 votes -

AU Payroll - Option to deep archive employee records
Could a similar function that UK organsiations have to "deep archive" employees be rolled out to AU organsiations? This will assist to adhere to legal requirements of retaining employee records for 7 years.

AU Payroll - Add a separate lock date for payroll
AUSTRALIA PAYROLL - Can we PLEASE have a separate Lock Date for Payroll. I have had many incidents where I have prepared an Activity Statement ( PAYG), and the client reverts a pay run to draft, makes a change AFTER THE ENDOF MONTH AND IAS CREATION, and then we have to re-calculate and re-submit IAS for signature.
The lock date is unable to be added as the ACCOUNTS are still being reconciled, but the payroll is complete.
This will also be extremely helpful at EOFY.

NZ Payroll - Ability to display annual earnings on payslips
Apparently this functionality is enabled on the AU payroll system, but not NZ!
Essentially, it would be great if an employee's annual salary figure could be displayed on their payslips. Given that this is already an option within Xero Payroll for Australia, surely this is an easy addition for Xero Payroll for New Zealand.

NZ Payroll - Payslip notes
Could we have the ability to add the amount paid to a Deduction.
(A staff member messaged me the other day asking if the $450 showing on his pay slip was the amount he had left to pay for tools deductions or the amount he had paid. After checking I saw it was the amount he had paid and he has $468.93 left to pay.)
Q: Is there any way to add the amount he has left to pay for tools to the pay slip.

Timesheets AU - Allow employee's to add notes in 'Total hours worked' earning rate
Inside Xero Me, when you set your Timesheet type to "Start and end times" you can add notes for working days.
It would be great if we could add notes when we have our Timesheet type set to "Total hours worked".
As an employee, not being able to add a note & select an earning type is inconvenient and can cause confusion which leads to slower timesheet approvals
