  1. Show the Total Payment of a Pay Run, on both the Pay Runs and individual Pay Run screen. As it is, you have to click Payroll > Pay Employees > Pay Run > Employee to see the Total Payment for that specific Pay Run. Far too many clicks to check what the total amount was that was posted to Wages Payable account (and paid from the bank account).

  2. Some employees have payment information (bank account), and others do not at a client account. The client does not use the bank account information for the payment to employees, then, this information is not compulsory for the client at the moment.
    I found a wrong information of the payment bank account information of an employee and tried to delete it, however, Xero says:
    The account name is required, and
    The account number is required, then,
    It is not possible to save 'nil' information.

    The Company does not use 'payment information' in the actual payment process and there is no practical…

    We appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to delete an employee's bank information.

    While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we've currently got planned.

    In the meantime, you can replace the employee bank account details with fake/dummy information instead.

  3. With previous software, we can put in the entire hourly rate, which includes our casual staffs holiday pay, rather than change them to a rate of say

  4. Ability for reimbursements and allowances to be submitted by staff and approved by managers similar to the way that leave is submitted and approved.

  6. I am wanting to configure the view of a timesheet in Xero. I would like to be able to view the full earnings rate when processing timesheets. We are currently in our peak season and have a huge amount of timesheets which we export from a different system into Xero. At present as a double check I am having to physically click on the earnings rate to view the entire name as it doesn't display. We added Time Sheet tracking to the timesheets which is causing the view of the pay item to be smaller but if we could make…

  7. Increase number of letters/spaces in text field boxes in employee name fields.

    Text fields for employee names are currently limited to 36 letters so my suggestion is to have an unlimited text field or increase to 50 spaces.

    I only discovered this when a new employee's last name has 40 letters so I can't accurately add his full last name. Payslips need to be downloaded and edited via a pdf editor so he has the accurate payslip for his tax and visa records.

  8. Lot of employee are working overtime. Holiday should be paid adding the Holiday Pay Adjustment. This means that overtime, certain allowances and commission plans will be included in the first 20 days of leave taken in any holiday year. To put this simply, you should be no worse off financially by taking your holiday. So if you earn commissions, claim certain allowances or work overtime these will now be considered as part of your holiday pay adjustment payment. Every employer must calculate this manually, and errors may occur during the process. It would be fantastic if a formula could be…

  9. Hi
    I would like to be able to process a Payroll Transaction Summary Listing report that shows the individual amounts per pay item for every employee for the financial year in one report. Currently, I need to select the individual employee to get this information, but this is not practical when a business has 10 or more employees as it takes too much time to select each employee individually to get this information.
    Thanks

  10. Once a timesheet has been approved, I think it should show on the dashboard under bills to pay. We have varying numbers of contractors each week (sometimes many, sometimes only 1 contractor) which makes it difficult to know at a glance how much we owe for their wages each week.

  11. Include the ability to set multiple pay cycles for the same employee. For example, wages are paid fortnightly but commissions are paid monthly. The dates are not aligned with the period if we use only one pay cycle.

  12. Payroll functionality around multi day leave requests.

    A number of employees work 4 days , and xero divides the days into 5.
    The problem is when a leave request for lets say a day and half sick leave - they cannot manually enter 12 hours (8 +4) or 10.5 (7 + 3.5) unless they do Seperate Leave requests per day.
    I have a collegue doing 2 weeks of working 6 hours and taking 2 hours each day on annual leave. I ended up having to make his leave request because I am admin.

    I had to obtain pre-approval since the…

  13. With employees on a salary contract for say 80K that compensate for extra hours each week (up to 57hrs) there is an issue with the current xero pay templates adding pay for every hour above 40hrs, as leave is calculated on number of hours worked. With these types of salaries it would be good to adjust the hours worked on each weekly payrun without it changing the payment amount but still changing the leave as per the award requirements. Currently the only way to handle this is creating a new payroll line item of "additional hours only contributing to leave"…

  14. It would be very useful to have a report that shows at a glance when each employee last had a pay rise. Like an extra column in the Employee Remuneration Report. Or an audit report that shows the history of pay changes for all employees in one place.

  15. I would love to see superannuation opening balances split into two sections. One flows through to the superannuation payment section to be paid, and the other just remains on the balance sheet. As an example, we have a new client who has not paid any superannuation YTD, we have already prepared superannuation shortfall forms for 2 quarters, and the balance is to be paid this quarter. The opening balances have been entered as shown from the previous bookkeeping software, however now I have to split the opening balance to ensure the payment can be processed in Xero for the current…

  16. Being a start-up company we claim R&D refund as part of our tax return. In order to support R&D activities we need to work out employee remuneration and hours to support our claims. Currently, Xero does not have any R&D reports that we can use. Hence, I am wondering whether the Tech team at Xero can include two fields (Column options) in the existing report "Payment Summary Details".

    The fields required are 1) Superannuation 2) Units (worked hours)

    Then we can export this report to work on our R&D claims. Thank you

  17. Employee Pay Template - order of "Earnings type"
    It would be great to have the ability to reorder an employee's earnings types so that the most frequently used show first on the list when processing a pay run. At the moment, with the exception of Salary & Wages that defaults to the very top, all other "Earnings types" are listed alphabetically and there is no ability to change this order (drag & drop).

  18. Have a prompt in the users section that prompts you to go to the employees file to add the user permissions for Xero me for employees. It is really easy to go to users and add the employee as a user from the user section rather then the employees card file.

  20. Under the new STP Phase 2 screens there is no-longer options on the 'Tax' tab to select Working Holiday Maker, rather just 'Australian resident' and 'Foreign resident'.

    I understand on the 'Employment' tab you now need to make this selection, however, I've already had many users reach out confused thinking they need to select 'Foreign Resident' now.

    My suggestion is to do one of the following:

    1. Add Working Holiday Maker as an option and have it link back to the Employment tab if selected.

    2. Add a text note in the 'Tax' tab section explaining the requirement to return to the…
