UK Payroll - Select file type for batch payments
At the moment Xero only produce standard 18 format files for paying employees electronically. There is very minimal banks that accept this kind of format. I I think it would be of great use if we could upload a template file to Xero of the format our bank accepts and it then produces this type of file for us.

Xero Me (AU) - Remove rejected leave items from view
Remove rejected leave items from view. As currently they are front an center even if related to a historic time for all employee when in desktop version of Xero Me.
14 votesHey all, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea and sorry for the late update. I’m popping in to switch it across to delivered for our AU users!
Just before the end of the year, we rolled out the option for employees to archive their rejected leave requests in Xero Me web.
Thanks again for your feedback 😊For voters from other regions, if this is still something you’d like to see feel free to make a copy of this idea and pop the region in brackets.

UK Payroll - Track the table based DEA Deductions
There is currently an option for a DEA to be table based when setting it up, however this doesn't do any of the calculations for the DEA. Instead, they need to be calculated manually & entered as a fixed amount. There is also no way of keeping track of the amounts deducted until the total has been paid within Xero, this also has to be done manually. This can especially be difficult if the employee's pay varies each period.

NZ Payroll - Specify leave approver
It would be great to be able to stream leave approvals by team so only a team leader gets to see/approve their own team rather than everyone's leave applications

UK Payroll: Include employer pension contributions in employee opening balances
Have the ability to enter employer pension contributions in the opening balances when adding a new client to Xero. At present the resulting payslip is incorrect as the YTD employer pension figure only shows the current month and not YTD.

UK Payroll - Ability to customise pension letters on Xero
For some clients we use Xero's Postponement and Eligibility letters. This has proved very useful but currently the letters cannot be customised.
We have a client for example who pays a higher employer contribution percentage than the standard. The letters however, only show the standard percentage's despite the settings being different to the standard. We also have a client who has asked for their company logo to be added to the letters.
After speaking with Xero Central I was informed that the letters currently cannot be customised and don't pull from the pension settings.
If this could be looked into…

UK Payroll - Automatic pro-rata holiday calculation
Fixing issues with holidays and making pro-rata holiday calculations automatically
Calculate starting holiday allowance from the starting date of the employee for new employees joining throughout the year.
Calculate final holiday allowance based on the end of employment date when employees leave.
Since Xero knows the holiday hours per year and the working patterns, it has everything it needs to calculate this.
If an leaving employee has taken too many holidays before they leave, it is important to ensure the leave is negative.
Furthermore, at the end of the year the employee should be given the option to carry…12 votesHi everyone, appreciate the feedback on the idea here. Being open we don't have any immediate work planned for this.
However, I also wanted to highlight with differing needs and regulation our payroll products are developed separately for region specifically. We try to keep the ideas regionally separated in community here as it helps when feeding back to the team and also in keeping customers updated.
That said we have a separate idea for this similar feature in AU Payroll and I've added any voters from AU to that idea to keep updated there.

NZ Payroll - leave requests and approval while processing pay runs
Currently leave requests must be approved before the relevant pay run is commenced.
If we discover that leave needs to be added at any point after the pay run is commenced, the entire pay run must be deleted, along with any progress made.
When processing payroll for businesses, I occasionally discover leave should be included only while I'm actually processing the pay run.
I'd like to have a clone of the leave creation UI as an option while within the pay run process itself. This would show leave balances for the employee, and only have an option to Approve or…

UK Payroll - Pension file to display gross earnings
PAPDIS file download to include total Gross Salary and not just the Salary with the £520 not pensionable deducted and the pension provider we use (Creative) expects this in their upload. EVery month I have to edit Gross Pensionable Pay for all employees to add the £520 on the PAPDIS CSV I download.

UK Payroll: Record send dates of pension eligibility letters
The Pensions Act 2008 requires all employers to enrol their eligible employees into an auto-enrolment compliant qualifying workplace pension scheme, if they are not already in one, and pay specified minimum contributions. At the moment there is no way to check if and when the letter was sent to the employer. As this is a point on our audit checklist for all our clients would it be possible to add a field showing the date when the letter was sent out to an employee or ideally add it to a pension report.

UK Payroll - Automatically update Employee salary
If a pay increase is implemented across the board then currently, the only way to amend employees salary amount is to enter each record manually. If you have a large number of employees this is extremely time consuming.
If a salary scale was used and assigned to employee records, it could be uplifted by a percentage and all records would automatically update.

Payroll reports | Timesheets - Export with Start/End & Notes
with the new functionality of adding start end times and notes, we are not able to print or download this data in any reporting. the only way we can SEE this info is in the individual timesheet by person.
If you can update the report to include all information that would be useful as the current process is only half done.16 votes -
UK Payroll - Adding Employee Group data to reports
You can enter a group for an employee on the employment information but this function cannot be used on the reports.
If the information of which employee is in which group, then surely its not a huge leap to add this function to the reports. Using the gross to net report, you could select a group rather than an individual, saving a lot of time.

US Xero Payroll - Ability to delete or apply credits to 'old' bills to pay
I have multiple 2018 bills to pay generated from the US Xero Payroll feature that I can not delete nor apply credit memos to. Those were always "locked" bills. I've been trying to void or zero out these bills for years and apparently, there is no way to actually do this. I've spent hours with customer support to no avail. Please put something in place to allow users/me to accomplish this task. My AP bills are messy and my cash basis balance sheet is messy. Journal entries are not a solution as the bills will never go away using this…
4 votesHi team, we appreciate your input in Product Ideas and the idea shared here. Since US payroll was removed from Xero in 2019 we don't have any plans for making changes in the product for this.
We understand it's not the ideal solution however if you have tax bills or payroll transactions that weren't marked as paid before Payroll was decommissioned, you can post manual journals to adjust the balance of the relevant accounts.
While you can post manual journals to most accounts in Xero, there are some exceptions such as accounts payable. You'll need to use other methods to make adjustments to these account balances we have some help to guide you on this in Xero central.

UK Payroll - Template timesheet to upload into Xero
We must be give an option or some kind of template to upload hours in Xero if there are hourly employees and number is huge. Doing manually is quite a challenge and time wastage.
So this option must be available even if not using time sheet.16 votes -
UK Payroll - Unscheduled pay run in advance should only stop updates to staff included in the run.
UK Payroll - when an unscheduled pay run has been posted for a period it stops any updates to salaries even when a full payroll hasn't been posted. It makes sense that a full run would stop updates but only people included in an unscheduled pay run should be barred from having updates applied. For instance, with an unscheduled run posted I can't adjust starting dates or salaries for staff, and these may have changed after the unscheduled run was posted.

UK Payroll - Add pay reference period calendar for Nest pension
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…6 votes -
UK Payroll - Remove YTD bank holidays from payslips
There is no reason to keep the previous bank holidays on every payslip.
I can’t seem to get rid of previous bank holidays from showing on current/future payslips. Why are bank holidays from the Easter and the King's Coronation still appearing on payslips May 2023 onwards?? Doesn’t look very professional. This is all on the YTD earnings line. Why isn't there an option to remove it? Clients are not very happy.
12 votesHi everyone, returning now a few weeks on from our last update, we’re going to move this idea to ‘Delivered’ with the change the team made to Payslip PDFs. We have now combined all previous earnings as one YTD line so that your employees only see the most relevant information 🥳
