UK Payroll - Auto updates for national Insurance category (NI)
It would be great if Xero could implement an automatic change/suggestion to change to category A after an H-category employee doesn't meet the criteria anymore.
One of our employees just had his birthday and I noticed the category doesn't automatically update and there's no flag to say they might now be ineligible for a certain code.
I imagine there are more companies with the same problem where it's gone unnoticed that the National Insurance Category hasn't automatically updated as nearly everything else does and it's easy to miss a birthday!154 votes -
pay run reversal
An option to do a reversal of a current pay run as currently there is no option to allow this. I had a pay run today and the client had not let me know that there was a change to their pay run until after it had been lodged with the ATO. I subsequently went to the portal and found that both pay runs had been processed as was out to the actual amount in Xero.

Payroll - Secure form for fraud prevention
A company we work with here in UK was recently a victim of an elaborate but simple fraud, resulting in the loss of around £5,000 from the payroll.
The scam went like this:-
- Scammer fakes an email to HR from an employee requesting the bank details for their salary be changed.
- HR fails to spot the "EXTERNAL EMAIL WARNING!" and forwards this email to the person who updates the payroll. They also didn't spot the fake email address, or double-check with the employee.
- Bank details for the employee are updated in the payroll and bank payments.
- Some weeks later, the employee concerned then contacts their manager as apparently they had not been paid this month. The fraud comes to light. "I never sent any email changing my bank details!" The scammer is long gone with the money. Whoopsie!
It would seem to me that the simple solution to this is not to accept, EVER, any instruction to change bank details via email. Instead, employees should be directed to a page internally or in our case in Xero, which can only be accessed by employees with a login and preferably requires two factor authentication.
The form could allow the employee to enter their new bank details. Xero sends a notification to the employee's known email/phone contacts to confirm the action, and then the person responsible for updating it receives a notification in Xero to update the bank details.
This approach would considerably reduce the risk of this type of phishing fraud, as any scammer would need to have access to xero and would have to get round 2fa, with at least two people checking the request before any bank details are changed, and not just fake an email: "Please to be updating my bank details... thx..."

Xero Me - Add field for overtime reason
On the XeroMe app for staff to log their timesheets, it will be beneficial to add a "Reason for overtime" textbox for every day, so that they can justfiy their overtime. Sometimes staff overclaim more than they should. Justifications are a good reminder for the employer to pay overtime rates correctly.

AU Payroll - Payroll activity summary report to show unused annual leave paid
just like overtime wages, it's important to separate unused annual leave paid from regular annual leave paid because this will enable accountant to quickly cal-check whether super guarantee has been calculated/set up correctly. it's impractical or inefficient if we have to check all the pay item settings.

AU Payroll - Ability to add multiple Pay Templates
I have a staff member working a 9 day fortnight not on an RDO arrangement. It would be great to have a 'week 1' pay template and a 'week 2' pay template. We pay our staff weekly not fortnightly.

NZ Payroll - Automatically upload recurring jobs

AU Payroll - Bulk add once-off bonus/payments in a pay run
Bulk issuing a once-off bonus payment to employees. Instead of updating each pay template individually with the additional pay item, the ability to add this during a pay run would save a lot of time. Being able to select who to add it to or edit them once it has been added to all the pay templates would also help this process.

AU Payroll - Email alerts when conversion balances are changed
PAYROLL CONVERSION BALANCES - SEND EMAIL ALERTS / WARNINGS
Xero sends email alerts when a bank account numbers is changed. Can it also send an email alert when an employee's leave conversion balances have been changed? This will alert fraudulent leave balance adjustments by unscrupulous staff / management.

Employee payroll theft!
All hail Xero's payroll audit trail. It just saved my skin.An employee manager with full control and access has sneakily amended her accrued leave opening balances in her employee card - 2 times. 150 hours increased all up. It is impossible to detect something like that from our end.
We process payroll but don't do ongoing checks on opening balances to see if they have been fiddled with. Normally, no one would touch that part of Xero.
The manager enters and approves all leave requests before we process payroll. So we had no idea she was bumping up her leave balances. She had her own log in so the audit trail clearly shows she made the changes to the opening balances. Which clears my team and I !
Is there a way for Xero to implement an email warning if someone changes the payroll opening leave balances?
Similar to the warning when someone changes bank account numbers. Some sort of red flag would be great so it brings it to attention.
It's so easy for this type of theft to occur.
I would never have imagined such a sneaky way to get cash from a business.
The business owner gave full trust to the employee manager.PAYROLL CONVERSION BALANCES - SEND EMAIL ALERTS / WARNINGS

AU Payroll - Add 'Date of Birth' column to Employee Remuneration Report.
This will allow for easy review of an employee's age alongside their current payrate and adjustment post birthday. Currently, I run two reports, Employee Contact Details and Employee Remuneration Report, export to excel and merge to allow cross reference of all information. The remuneration Report would also benefit from having all wage categories to select if needed, ie: Saturday Rate, Sunday Rate, Public Holiday Rate etc. Negating the need to access each employee pay template to check correct rates have been set up.

Payroll: Provisions for Annual and Long Service Leave
We need to know how much to provide for on the balance sheet for annual leave and long service leave each month and track these for our financial statements. All the information is available via Xero payroll (leave balances and pay rates for each employee as well as leave accrued and leave taken) but in order to account for this correctly we are expected to export reports and do the calculations ourselves. And we need to maintain external files to reconcile this to each month.
If Xero is offering a payroll and leave tracking function it should ensure the accounting entries for that function are captured correctly. This includes leave expenses and leave provisions / accruals.
