AU Payroll - Sort by Surname
To be able to sort Pay Employees by Surname and it holds them in that order instead of refreshing
103 votesHiya community, thanks for your support in this. Totally get why you may want to set the default view to sort by surname in Payroll. Being open, with many of the teams resource working hard to fine tune payroll for STP phase 2 there are no direct plans for developing the option to set a default for sorting of employees atm.
To confirm, right now from your list of employees you can click on the column header to sort ascending or descending alphabetically - So, once on the screen you can click Last name to sort your employees by this column.
We'll update again if there's any change planned.

Payroll AU - Ability to have multiple payslip templates
Please add the ability to have multiple payslip templates for multiple businesses trading within the same entity. Ie so their different logo's for the different trading names can be attached to the employee group for that business tracking category.
9 votesHey Tanya, we don’t recommend running multiple payrolls from the same Xero organisation. As there’s only support for a single payroll account, business name, and ABN per Xero Organisation. This information must be included on each payslip, and would need to be edited prior to posting each pay run.
Posting payroll for multiple businesses from the same Xero Organisation can also have an impact on your record keeping, especially when it comes to finalising your STP and employee superannuation for the year.
Instead, we’d recommend setting up a new organisation for each new business you run payroll for. If you need multiple plans for running small payrolls, as a Xero Partner, you might like to check out our Payroll Cashbook plans.

Payroll AU API - Unscheduled Payruns & Payslips
After creating an unscheduled payrun via the Payroll AU API when you get the payrun it returns an array of payslips where the employee id and payrun id do not exist (the only fields returned are FirstName, LastName & UdatedDateUTC). If you then proceed into the xero admin (in the browser) and view the payrun you can then click to include an employee. Returning back to the API if you retrieve the payrun again the employee id and payrun id are then set for that employees payslip entry.
We also tried creating approved timesheets for employees before the unscheduled payrun…
9 votesHey community, thanks heaps for all your interest on this idea so far 😁
Because this one would actually be better suited to our AU Payroll API forum, I'll be closing it off here on Product Ideas.
I'd really encourage you to share it with our developer community though!

Payroll UK API Add employee number to Get Employees
On the Payroll UK API there is a Get Employees method that returns a list of all employees with details. Unfortunately this does not contain the Employee number(as opposed to employee ID) which is the only unique identifier for an employee between different systems(e.g HR system and Xero). In order to automate work I had to Get Employees then individually Get Employee merely to get the employee number which means rather than 1 request I had to do 1 + N where N is the number of employees which makes it more annoying(and less scalable due to rate limits) and…
1 voteHey Tim, thanks for sharing this idea! We actually have a dedicated forum for API suggestions, similar to Product Ideas, over on our Developer Centre.
This is one that'd be better suited to that API team, and you can share it here. In the meantime, I'll close it off as 'Not Planned' here on Product Ideas :)

AU Payroll | STP 2 - Report of changes to employees
I would like to be able to run a report in Xero to see the updates I have made to the employees list and spot errors if any. This will help to review, identify errors in an efficient manner.
6 votesThanks for raising the idea here, Harshita. While there's a downloadable CSV for the Pay Item transition, this isn't something that's available for employee changes as part STP 2 transition.
The nature of the transition tool means you won't have to repeat these steps once rolled out, and being open with this we'll mark the idea as not planned.

I use ADP ROLL as my payroll. Can we have links to ADP payroll services of all types they provide?
1 voteHi Dennis, looks like ADP have built and provide a direct integration with Xero atm. We don't develop many integrations ourselves instead we have an open API to enable other interested businesses to do so. It'd be best to contact ADP directly to enquire if there is a service they offer that you'd like them to expand their integration for in Xero.

Create the option to Remove CIS schedule from the RTI section when your Company is not eligible for CIS
You should be able to remove the scheduled CIS from the RTI submissions if the company isn't CIS registered it shows orange like you have missed this.
VERY ANNOYING1 voteHey Sammy, in the screenshot you've shared, the EPS for Month 1 is displayed as 'scheduled' because it has not been submitted to HMRC yet.
EPS are generated in Xero, but not submitted until after the 12th of the following tax month.
So in this case, the EPS for the periods in your screenshot will be submitted after the 12th May.
Once we've passed the date for submission, HMRC will accept the EPS and the status will change to 'Accepted'. This is unrelated to your CIS schedule,
This is in keeping with HMRC's advice for Employer Payment Summaries, and you read more about this here.

Gusto Payments
When Gusto is integrated with Xero, a bill is synced into Xero with the proper allocations of payroll related costs between wages, benefits, taxes, etc. That bill seems to work just fine. However, each time there is a bill synced into Xero, a user must manually mark that bill as paid by taking the amount from Gusto's payroll confirmation for Net pay and Taxes paid and entering each as a partial payment on the bill. Since the info is known, why can these payments not be synced into Xero as well? That would save manual steps each time a payroll…
1 voteHey Andy, thanks for sharing your idea!
Whilst Gusto is our preferred payroll partner for the US, Xero doesn't develop or manage the integration. If you'd like to share your feedback around their Xero integration, I'd recommend chatting directly to Gusto. You can use their Contact page to reach out directly.

UK Payroll: Hide hours on a payslip
Hide Hours/Rate on an employee's payslip.
1 voteHey Summer thanks for sharing this idea 😊
Currently, it is an HMRC requirement to display the hours worked on a payslip, if an employee's pay varies depending on time worked.
We'll be shifting this one to 'not planned', but if the requirements change in the future, definitely reach out again!

NZ Payroll: Email notifications for failed IR filing
Is there a way that if you file a payrun with Inland Revenue and it fails to files (as it can take up to 30 minutes) a notification is messaged to say that it has not filed. Similar to the message with email has have not uploaded.
1 voteHey Deb👋
The team have confirmed there are already notification emails in place for payday filing issues.
Payroll admins in your organisation should receive this message to their Xero log in email address.
If you're having trouble with those email notifciations, our support team can help 😊 You can raise a case here.

AU Payroll | Employee - Second Emergency Contact Option
Could we please have an option to add a second emergency contact for our employees.
Currently when creating a new employee we only have one space for an emergency contact. However, in the case of an actual emergency only one contact may not be enough, a second contact gives a much higher chance of being able to get in contact with someone.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here.
We appreciate being able to easily add a secondary emergency contact to the details tab of the employee record is important to you.
Atm, you could use the notes tab to add a new note to the employee record and include the details in here.
To be open we don't have direct plans for making this change within the details tab any time in the near future.

Global Payroll - Add employee end date
Xero payroll ~ To have additional setting to include end date for employee when resigned so that the employee will not appear in pay run.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion, Lynn. There are no plans to streamline ending employment or adding employee end dates for our Global Pay Run product.
Currently, you can archive the employee’s contact in Pay Run - This way the contact won't appear in future pay runs, but you can still access their payment history.
Pay run is a lightweight, simple payroll tool for paying a few employees in your base currency, as well as running pay reports and managing basic employee information. If you need a more full-featured payroll experience in the global version of Xero, we'd recommend checking out payroll app partners.

NZ Payroll: 'Opted out' flag for Kiwi Saver
For NZ Users, when an employee has opted out of Kiwi Saver (which is confirmed by the tax dept) change the Xero description from "Not eligible" to "Opted Out of Kiwi Saver".
This would have saved me a lot of time and your Team there answering this question :-).1 voteHey Rachel, thanks for submitting this idea!
The team have confirmed that for employees who have opted out, they should be set up as "Automatically enrolled" then "Opt Out" with their opt out date, rather than selecting "Not eligible".
This matches to the available KiwiSaver options through IR.
As such I'll be shifting this one to 'Not planned', but if the advice from IR changes, we'll update the update the settings accordingly!

CA payroll - Assign tracking category
CANADA : Payroll Tracking Categories. I would like to be able to assign a category to individual employees or their hours worked. We have different projects and it is important to be able to see how the salaries are divided amongst the projects.
1 voteHi Victoria, we don't currently have a specific version of Payroll for Canada.
It’s not possible to use tracking in Xero Pay Run. Pay Run in Xero is very simple and is designed for organisations that have a very small number of employees and uncomplicated recurring pay runs.
An option could be to apply tracking to their payroll expenses by entering manual journals 🙂

BAYZAT (UAE) - XERO
Integrate XERO accounting with Bayzat (UAE) for payroll processing.
1 voteHey Aparna, thanks for your idea!
As this is more of a suggestion for Bayzat, I'll be shifting this to 'Not Planned'.
At Xero, we have an open API, which means anyone can develop an app or integration for the product, without providing us documentation.
If you'd like to see your HR or scheduling software integrate with Xero, I'd recommend reaching out directly to their team 😊

UK Payroll - Enable Payslip Upload (via API)
The UK Payroll API does not allow payslips to be updated as it does in AU/NZ.
Enabling it like it is in NZ would allow all UK users to be able to upload Earnings/Deductions/Reimbursements/Accruals to the payslip electronically and save massive amounts of time.
4 votesHi community, sorry we haven't caught this one earlier! Having a deeper read, this idea is actually best suited to our developer community.
I've had a quick look and found this similar idea, that you can join and support 🙂
To help others find the best idea to add their interest to, we'll close this one off. Thanks!

payroll - change the look back to the way it was (where you can see things at a glance)
I just updated the employees to STP2 and it has gone from a nice clean format where I can view everything at a glance to a horrible, lots-of-white-space, format now where I have to continuously scroll down to see the information. This new format looks terrible and creates more work for the user! This includes both the timesheet approvals page, and the Employee information tax / employment info pages.
1 voteHey Rachael 👋 thanks for sharing this suggestion.
To be transparent, we have no plans to revert the changes made to the Payroll screens.
These updates are part of “Building on Beautiful”, the work we’re doing to improve the foundations.
As every part of Xero starts to look and feel the same, it will be easier to make other important changes.
These improvements have already allowed us to deliver highly requested features such as Payroll History, and support for STP2.
You can read more about that on our ‘Building on Beautiful' page.
