UK Payroll - Employee Details export in bulk with correct date format
Purpose: to be able to move payroll from one Xero company to another quickly and without errors.
When exporting employee details from payroll in order to bulk upload them onto another company's payroll, it is not possible to do a bulk export. You have to instead individually download each employee. This is fine if there are only 10-20 employees, but any bigger and you are opening yourself up to missing employees and making mistakes. Any other exports currently available do not give all the information needed to then import directly into a new payroll.
Perhaps the main frustration,…

UK Payroll - Auto schedule pay runs and filings
For clients we have with director only payroll, if we could schedule all the filings and pay runs to be done automatically and we just get a pop up box just before they go to confirm nothing has changed for a number of different clients rather than one at a time? I believe Sage Payroll are working on this and Keypay payroll system can already do this too. Just wondering if there's anything on the radar for Xero to to the same?

Payroll: Set a percentage on an employees bank account
Give the ability to set a percentage (i.e) 50% on an employees bank account when paying across more than one bank.
I have an employee who always splits her pay equally between 2 bank accounts, however she is a commission paid rep and therefore each pay amount is different. So the current function is no use to me- which allows a $$ amount to be set only. This is fine for set salaried employees but not for commissioned sales reps.
MYOB had a function where you could set a percentage on how much went to bank account 1, and therefore…19 votes -
UK Payroll - True Potential Pension - Workplace pension filing CSV download
We would like to suggest an enhancement to the Xero payroll software that could significantly improve its functionality for our company.
Currently, Xero offers download options for various pension providers, but we've noticed that True Potential is not among them.
We propose the addition of a CSV download option specifically for the True Potential pension provider.
Given that Xero already possesses the necessary data, incorporating this feature would eliminate the need for manual data entry and formatting, reducing the risk of errors and saving valuable time.
Benefits of this enhancement:
Accuracy: Automated data transfer minimizes the potential for mistakes…

AU Payroll - Earnings rate attached to days of the week
The ability to assign earnings rate to day of the week so a timesheet automatically uses the correct earnings rate and can't be changed by employee.
Eg Saturday timesheet is pre- filled with the Saturday earnings rate.

UK payroll - Back date directorship start date
Xero should deal with back dating a directorship
As an accountants it is not unusual to only have a touch point around the year end and the client prepares the payroll. And the addition of new directors can be missed by the staff preparing the payroll.
No HMRC guidance is that you can adjust in the next month if the directorship is in the same payroll year. Xero does not work in this scenario. You need to revert each pay run back to the start if the directorship and re run and submit and if there is a…2 votes -
UK Payroll - Report that shows all employee's current Hourly Rates
In Sage, we used to be able to run a report that allowed us to export all our employees hourly rates, so yearly pay rises were easy to plan from.
There isn't a way to do this in Xero - so my suggestion is to have a payroll report, similar to the employee details report, that allows you to see all employees hourly rates.10 votes -
UK Payroll - Extend SSP without reverting pay runs
SSP EXTENSION; There needs to be a way of extending SSP
Most people who are off sick are not aware of when they will return, it is often necessary to be able to extend SSP. It is not acceptable to have a process that requires reverting payroll. I am still trying to get almost £5000 back from HMRC because Xero reported the variance in April as an additional payroll & the YTD figures have not corrected the issue. Reverting payroll should be the very last resort & not used for something as standard as stat sick leave.2 votes -
UK Payroll - Auto enrolment postponements
When an employee has a postponed autoenrollment the pension doesn't prompt or show up until just before the payment run has been posted. Making any prior payroll reports and payslips incorrect as the pension then tags on at the end. So reports then need to be reprinted and balanced again.
Can the prompt no show up at the start of the pay run? This will then save any duplicated reports and potential incorrect payments.
Also the pension filing report viewable before the RTI posting.
Alternatively, enter the postponement date when posting the pay run in which the employee becomes…

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: Include Working Holiday Maker field on Taxes tab
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:
Add Working Holiday Maker as an option and have it link back to the Employment tab if selected.
Add a text note in the 'Tax' tab section explaining the requirement to return…
1 voteHi Kielan, thanks for the idea. While we appreciate your feedback for where to select Working holiday maker, we want to be upfront that we don't have direct plans for making these changes in the foreseeable future.
As you’ve mentioned there is a placement to accomplish what you're asking here by selecting Working holiday maker in the employment tab under Income type.

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 - 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.

UK Payroll - Alternative NI Calculation type for directors starting mid-year
When adding a Director to payroll midway through the year the status can only be set to 'Annual'
It would be great if we were able to choose either 'Annual' or 'Alternative' Setting a new director on 'Annual' in January has affected their NI contributions. On Annual the NI does seem to vary but sort its self out by the end of the tax year. It just means paying more NI for a period of time.15 votes -
Payroll - Recognise and adjust pay rate based on Timesheets
Given that there is already a link between Pay Runs and Timesheets, it would be very helpful if the Pay run could recognise what days have time entered on the timesheet then it would recognise if an employee worked on a Public Holiday and then by default record 1.5 times and add the lieu day to alternative holidays.
This is something that my clients miss regularly as they expect Xero Payroll to do this for them.12 votes -
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 - 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 -
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
