  1. Ability to send and generate online commencement forms from Xero Payroll.

    Purpose: Employees can complete and submit their own online commencement forms, rather than having to ask the employers to submit it.

    Appreciate your input here, everyone. This is a feature that our team have looked into and would like to develop for AU Payroll, however there are a few other key pieces of work lined up before they get a chance to explore this further.
    Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. If there’s any movement, we’ll make sure to come back and let you all know.

  2. Currently the PPL pay item can only be allocated to an expense account.

    This is not in line with the Australian Accounting Standard.

    Can Xero update the ability to allocate to a liability account, please?

  3. Xero Me - change of address - employee can lodge a notification through Xero Me to payroll for your change of address. The change could be approved by the payroll administrator and it immediately updates Xero, then an email would be sent to the employee to say the change of address has occurred. This would reduce administration time, spelling errors in address and encourage employees to keep their details up to date.

  5. When I pull the Bank Batch file to pay Wages, I would like the amount for PAYE and any other Taxes or transferred deductions to be paid out on the day with the Payroll. This removed it from the business immediatley and makes sure payment is always up to date.

  6. Xero Me App Leave Requests to show the total hours being requested by the employee. When Part Time Employees post leave requests there is no way for xero to know that they are only taking part time hours or days

  7. 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.

  8. Why can't Xero make editing a timesheet easier by automatically showing bank holidays and any days off that have been entered as holiday?

    If the timesheet showed bank holidays or days where time-off has been allocated in a different colour or with an asterisk by the date then checking timesheets against time-cards would be much more straight forward.

  9. Employees to be able to add tracking categories in the 'Start and end hours' timesheet setting, rather than a payroll administrator having to do it manually before approving.

  11. I'd like to be able to filter payroll-related reports (eg. Superannuation Accruals) by the pay calendar being used for the employee.

    Several of my clients have a separate pay calendar for permanent employees and employees (and contractors) whose pay changes from payrun to payrun. This enables them to quickly do pays for permanent employees whose timesheets don't need to be checked and spend more time over those who do. It also enables late timesheets to be processed with less fuss as there's fewer employees to scroll through to add the ones whose timesheets you just received.

    When it comes to…

  12. Viewing P60 for employees is confusing for them as the page layout they are directed to is so poor.

    Xero Me link takes them to a page that shows all current pay slips (2024-25) with the most recent at the top, but the box above the current payslips shows 2021-22 by default.

    When employees get the email link they obviously just click on 'Download P60 Report' - they wouldn't ever think they have to click on another box showing '2021-2022 Tax year' that doesn't even appear connected to the P60 button.

    Obviously the most recent P60 should appear on top…

  13. We would definately want to see the hourly rate and hours for overtime for staff on annual salaries.
    At the moment the overtime hours are printed but not the rate of pay for the overtime.

  14. I love the Payroll Audit History on each employee, though I noticed it doesn't include history on the Employee Xero Me invited. It would be great to have a similar thread to when invoices are sent : date & time of sending and which email it was sent to.
    Employees frequently state they "didn't receive the invite", it makes the conversation easier if we can say, "we did, please check ___ email's inbox and junk for an email received at ____ time on ___day"

  15. I would prefer that the dates displayed on the Payroll Activity Details & the Payroll Employee Summary reports are the beginning and of the pay period.
    I have found that some of my clients get confused with the way those reports are currently issued, using the payment date.

  16. Not sure about other pensions, but when using NEST, Xero doesn't currently link up how you would like it to.
    Whether you pay staff monthly or weekly, you are bound to have a cut off date for calculating hours which is before the date you send payment to employees.
    The info that gets shared when filing the pension records is the "payment date". This physical date falls under the following pay period meaning when the info is transferred to NEST it comes up as the wrong period.
    For example:
    (monthly pay) 24th Aug - 23rd Sep, with pay on 30th…

  17. UK Payroll - need a P32 report that can be printed/downloaded month by month in addition to the details provided for the whole year. Other payroll software's provide this as it's handy to have.

  19. For permanent employees, all XERO business customers should be able to calculate their future leave balances. This will allow a business owner to know if they can approve the leave or not, or what conversation to have with a team member.

    I hope this idea is backed and implemented.

  20. STP2 Allowances. Not reportable at W1 should push that information through with STP, but it doesn't. Using reimbursements as a work around is not good enough - better syncing is needed.
