AU Payroll - Set organisation defaults for 'hours a full-time employee works in a Weekly pay period'
Many of my clients prefer a 37.5 hour work week (7.5 hours a day) to a 38 hour work week (7.6 hours a day).
I am able to set the leave accruals to a 7.5 hour day but the standard work week in "'Assign default leave types" is always 38 hpw and I have to manually change it to 37.5 to match the leave accrual.
I can remember to do this but many of my clients do their own employee set-up and will not remember to change that 38 hour work week to 37.5 each time they set…9 votes -
Payroll Activity Details (AU) - Date column to be added back
There has always been a date column - add it back - why mess with something that has been used for so many years. Absolutely so desruptive to our professional services.
1 voteHiya Simona, sorry for not updating you on this sooner.
Shortly after the release of the new report our team made a change based on feedback, so the report now shows Employee name and Date as separate columns, and the columns will be included when running the report by default.

UK Payroll: Support for Brightpay migration
Allow payroll to be set up by uploading the report from Brightpay when moving software.
1 voteHi Laura, thanks for your feedback here. Appreciate you may have already been through the set up process yourself but our recent release of the Switching wizard in Payroll for the UK aims to improve this flow if you set up a new organisation.
We've introduced an experience that'll make it easier to transition from your current payroll provider to Xero Payroll, reducing errors and saving time.
As part of the experience, you'll be able to import a Full Payment Summary(FPS) from your current software provider to Xero Payroll. You can get more understanding of how this works through our short video. 🙂

AU Payroll - Reports: Superannuation and hours worked on Payment Summary Details report
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

AU Payroll - Use multiple pay items for employees annual salary
Currently in XERO if you use more than one Ordinary Time Earnings Pay Item per employee the Annual Salary Calculation on the Payslip is incorrect. Using more than one is useful as there are some employees I like to apportion to 2 x areas. Example: It might be 1 day a week on Admin 4 days on Production. Whilst we can do this currently in XERO, as noted above the Annual Salary is incorrect. So - either - separate the Salary field from the Pay Item or change (fix) the way XERO calculates the Annual Salary. Note I am aware…

AU Payroll - Show employee's last pay period figures in current draft pay run
Ability to show or report the variances/differences between the draft payrun and the prior period payrun.
This would save a huge amount of time going through each payslip to ensure the usual pay is being processed and nothing has been accidentally added or missed.
Especially when you have a large number of employees.3 votesHi team, while it's not possible to view the previous pay periods figures for comparison in the current pay period, you could open the previous pay period overview in a separate browser window. Meaning you can compare the two pay runs without having to go back and forth between them.

AU Payroll - Add the name of the leave approver to connected app notification
Please can you send the name of the 'leave approver' to Finlerts LeaveCal integrated app. We get leave approval email notifications via their Xero add on and it would be really helpful to know the name of the person that approved a staff members leave application.
There has been cases of team leaders with leave approval permissions authorising their own leave so this would help us monitor these situations.3 votes -
AU Payroll - Ability to swap primary and secondary bank accounts for employees
I have an employee with two bank accounts - Bank Account 2 currently has a dollar amount going to it, and Primary Bank Account has the balance. The employee would like to swap which one is getting the dollar amount and which the balance. I'd like to do this with a button.
Instead I have to do it manually, copying and pasting field by field.

Payroll UK - Support for Plan 1 and Plan 2 student loans concurrently
Payroll UK Student Loans
Some employees can have Plan 1 and 2 at the same time. At present Xero payroll can only deal with 1 plan. The option should exist for an employee to select more than 1 Plan and the correct deductions be made.
This is how repayments are allocated between Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans
For the 2023/24 tax year the repayment thresholds are as follows:
• Plan 1 loans: £22,015
• Plan 2 loans: £27,295
If you earn below £22,015 you will make no loan repayments.
If you earn between £22,015 and £27,295 you will make…9 votes -
UK Payroll - Calculate hourly for leave/sick days
UK Payroll: Leave / Sick Days
Xero payroll nearly always miscalculates sick pay and absence deductions if staff are paid an annual salary for two reasons;
1) It works on average number of days in a month when month vary in working days every month and recalculates an inaccurate hourly rate from which it deducts absence (sometimes this is in favour of the employee but more commonly isn't) meaning that it often deducts too much from them and has to be manually recalculated.
2) It does not have the capability to deal with part-timers so if you have someone…11 votesHi everyone, I wanted to confirm with the release of working patterns this is now possible 😊
Working pattern templates create default work schedules for employees to ensure they are paid and accrue leave correctly, as part of their salary and wages settings.
You can now;
- Create or select from working pattern templates
- Add working patterns manually or using the template
- Setup multiple weeks of a working pattern
Thank you for your support and contribution through the idea here.

AU Payroll | Employee - View employment duration date below start date
The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.
Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.
Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.
Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a…

NZ Payroll - 63 days leave liability report
Hi There, curious to know, does Xero provides report 63 days payroll liability report. This is needed to accrue for the liability at the end of each tax year, since IRD allows this accrual to be accounted, with one condition, if the company has paid the staff with in 63 days from the end of each tax year. I know, this report is availabe by the other payroll software. Can this report be extracted from payroll reports.
thanks

NZ Payroll - Generate invoices from pay runs
Automatically generate payment invoices when creating payroll.
The current help article suggests creating spent money entries on the fly when reconciling.
It would be better to be able to generate accurate payment and separate code tax invoices when the payday is filed.
The advantages are that:
- the payment is reconciled to where it is created ensuring it is correct,
- the invoices are easily selectable into batch payments from payable invoices which correctly connects to bank batch payments,
- payments to IRD could be raised to different contacts for each payment type allowing the right references to…5 votes -
AU Payroll - Ability to clock on/off via a QR code
I would suggest that a QR code can be placed somewhere in the workplace and it can be scanned with the Xero Me app for start and stop times. This way the employees needs to be onsite with their phones to do this. With the way it is now, any start time or finished time can be entered, relying on an honesty system.
Thanks1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's, Andrew. We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you.
We'll monitor and track support your idea receives from the community.

UK Payroll - Ability to process prior year employment allowance claims through Xero payroll
At the moment this isn't an available feature, and HMRCs basic PAYE tools need to be used. It would be good to see this as an option in Xero.

AU Payroll - Ability to set different shift duration for each employee
Hi Xero team,
For timesheets with the "Total hours worked" setting, would you be able to create a setting that allows us to set our own default shift duration?
When we go to add a shift to our timesheet, by default the shift duration is set to 8 hours. For those of us who don't work 8 hour shifts, each time we log a shift we have to click on the duration and change it to the amount of hours we worked.
It would be awesome to have this feature that allows us to set our…
