change auto enrolment percentages
The ability to change auto enrolment percentages when a new staff member first is assessed and paid. A staff member has negotiated a higher employer percentage and I know we can change it once this has been added to the payslip going forward but at the time they are assessed and going to be included in the first pay run as well as a popup which lets you postpone them it would be good to also get the option to edit their pension percentages at the same time. The work around is a bit of a faff and prone to…

Auto enrolment
With respect to auto enrolment, Xero does not cope with our scenario, which is that we only open 19 weeks of the year, and no workers come anywhere near earning £10,000 in a year, i.e. the trigger for auto enrolment - although in individual weeks they may exceed earnings of £200. There should be a reason available in the 'exclude from auto enrolment tab' to cover this.

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.

NZ Payroll | Timesheets - Auto populate start of time from last timesheet
In timesheets, when you enter a new entry by hitting the + be good is the start of time could auto default to the end of time for the last timesheet entry you made, but you could still over type this if you wanted. Currently you have to keep looking and there is danger you could over lap or miss some time and it is time consuming.

Auto Superannuation Batch Not Approved Reminder
Would be great if Xero could trigger an automated (email and/or text) reminder to the superannuation payment approver 10, 5 and one days out from the superannuation due date each quarter.
A similar reminder feature already exists in XPM for Activity Statement Lodgements - reminders can be turned on.
Xero also has the ability to automate reminders to Customers around bill payment.
Xero has the email and SMS of the superannaution approver already on file.
Advantage of these reminders:
Super gets paid on time - we're all human and life can take over and sometimes things get missed…

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!104 votes -
Pricing Plan | Starter - Option to include auto super
Automate Super to Starter and Standard Plans
Its is a pain to add employees manually to ATO SBSCH and manually enter their super every quarter for accountants and bookkeepers.
Please xero, add this feature to starter as well as standard plans so that we can do our job efficiently, and have more time to add more clients to xero so we both are in profit :).
Every quarter there are around 10 small business clients with 2-5 employees which needs manual jobs and its hard to keep track of it (sometimes clients dont pay and we need to check…4 votes -

UK Payroll - Include AVC column in reports
The Pension contributions report on Xero does not include AVCs that need to be processed as 'pay items' in Xero payroll, even though the csv version of this report does have a column for AVCs.
Manually having to enter AVCs into the csv file and to manually upload to the pension provider is prone to human error, particularly when processing for large volumes of employees. Plus, the time taken. This report is incomplete and does not show all of the information for pension filings.
The report needs to be updated to show all pension contributions - minimum contributions under auto…

AU Payroll | Superannuation - Set up auto payment with a credit card
Have automatic superannuation payments be able to be paid via credit card, through xero. Currently there seems to only be the ability to make automatic payment via direct debit but it would be good if it could be made by a credit card.

Payroll | Instant data refresh / auto sync when entering payroll details
Payroll doesn't refresh data unless you scroll up and down inside an employees pay all the time
Can you fix this ? Even if you had a button which you could hit to pull changes

It takes a long time waiting doing the payroll when putting in hours and different rates for each employee each week for the amounts to change and pull through properly10 votes -

DEA
Ability to put direct earning attachments on payslip templates with percentages. The standard DEA percentage varies depending on earnings in period, it would be handy for the software to work these out rather than having to do it manually.

Payroll: Change reply-to email for payslips
Hello. Keen to have the Auto reply email address that is used for invoices to also be used for payslips. I use a different email to log in to Xero than the one I want staff to reply to.

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…3 votes -
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, however, is…

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…

AU Payroll: Withholding variation as an additional amount
The witholding variation should be on top of the existing PAYG calculation not overrides it, as it currently does. If an employee completes a MyGov employee Tax Form and notes they want an additional % amount variation withheld - it should be on top of their existing PAYG tax, not instead of it. There is no other option to put in a percentage amount in XERO.
Or allow the upward variation amount to be a percentage amount - not just a fixed amount.
The screenshot attached shows this employee should be paying tax on the full amount (no threshold claimed)…
