AU Payroll | Payroll Activity Detailed report - Separate date and Employee name columns
I hope that there's separate columns for date and employee name as seen in the previous report as it's totally useful when summarising data for various period. For instance, when generating the old report, it's completely quicker to use the pivot table and other excel formulas to calculate the total hours work and the corresponding cost in a certain period and prepare a comparative report for various pay item/period and employee using the old payroll activity detailed report. It's a single payroll report where all the relevant information is included.
32 votesHiya team, thank you for sharing your feedback and letting us know the detail and why this is valuable to you. Based on feedback we received on the Employee name and Date columns the team have just released an update to the Payroll Activity Detailed report to include Employee name and Date as separate columns in the report and these will now show by default.
This will help as noted when exporting and using the data for further analysis outside of Xero.

UK Payroll - Leave Summary Report
UK Payroll - need a summary report showing leave taken / remaining by employee for a given leave year - This is already available in AU payroll
77 votesHi team, as an update to my last post, we have now rolled out the Leave Requests report in UK Payroll. This report lists the details for leave requested, approved and taken, for all employees or can be run for a singular employee, and will help when planning rosters or work schedules. Payroll Admins will be able to find and access it through the Reports Centre found in the Accounting menu. We're aware that the Leave Requests report does not meet all of the requirements as outlined in the comments of this idea, and we have created a new idea for a Leave Transactions Report. We will track interest of this idea and keep an eye on this separately, so please do join and support if this is of interest to you.

NZ Payroll - employee earnings summary report for each pay run.
Pay cycle report (report to be saved in the Payroll module after each pay cycle)
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea.
You can actually already view employee earnings summary reports for any posted pay run. These reports are saved automatically against the pay run once it is posted.
To view them:
- Go to Payroll > Pay employees.
- Click on the specific Pay Period you want to view.
- Click the Options button.
- Select the report you want.
I will close this idea as Existing Functionality. If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support team.

AU Payroll - Detailed pay run journal report
A detailed pay run journal report would be much more useful than the current summary version. It is especially unhelpful that selecting the entry in an expense account just takes you to the pay run - it doesn't show you what is coded to which expense account. With many employees this can take a long time to find errors or to manually journal multiple costings
10 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
Last year, we rolled out support for the new journal reports 🎉 These can be filtered by account and account code or even the description.
For more information check out our support article on our new Journal reports here.
Thanks again for your feedback. We know this has been a highly anticipated feature for the community and we appreciate your contributions.

AU Payroll - Access to Employee YTD Summary
It would be great if you could download the Employee-year-to-date preview report after payroll finalisation in Australia.
Currently, this report can only be downloaded as part of the finalisation process not after. After finalising payroll you can only download a CSV file. We missed a transaction when reconciling that was in column BY - we spent hours trying to reconcile a payroll finalisation that could have been easily checked with the Employee year-to-date preview report which is all on one page.1 voteYou can now download the STP Year-to-Date Summary report for a specific employee after STP finalisation, Lisa. 😊
- From the Payroll menu select 'Single Touch Payroll'
- Click the 'Tax year' drop box in the top right > Select the required tax year
- Go into the Finalisation tab > Click 'View report'
- Select the required employee/s > Click the 'Export' button to download the report

AU Payroll - Employee Notes Report
It would be great to be able to export a report of all notes on employees contact. We use the notes section to record notes about attendance issues, conversations, warnings given.
2 votesHi Kylie, while there's not a specific employee notes report, you can run the Payroll History with a few filters to get what you need here.
When you run the report you can either run it for all employees, or select the specific employees from the drop down. Set the Type to 'Employees' and Apply.
Once run you can then enter 'Notes' in the search to further filter and only show employees notes added to their records in the set date range. If needed you'll also be able to export the report to Excel or PDF.

AU Payroll - Create a report that shows when a salary change was actioned
Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this has been raised previously, but would like a payroll report that will detail employee salary changes and the date they changed.
4 votesHey team, if you'd like to see a report that shows changes made to payroll such as salary changes, you can use the Payroll History report.
It can be run for a specified date range and will show the date the changes were made, what the changes were, the employee affected and the user who made the changes.

AU Payroll - changes to Unit reporting on Payroll Activity Details
Very recent change to the Payroll Activity Details report, now Units capped at two decimal places, changed within the last fortnight.
This needs to revert to four decimal places, as that is what is allowed when entering your payroll. Why has this been changed as now, the Payroll Activity report is the only available report to use to check a payroll, is no longer of any use as it does not reflect the correct data entry.6 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback here. Apologies we haven't updated sooner, as I can confirm that we made a change in July to the Payroll Activity Details report so it will now show 4 decimal places.

AU Payroll - Pay Day Superannuation
The ability to make pay day superannuation contributions (on a weekly basis) prior to the government mandated deadline of 2026.
6 votesHi team, as noted in my last response it's already possible to pay superannuation contributions weekly.
Auto Super allows you to make superannuation payments as regularly as you'd like.
We'll shift this post to Feedback and I have created a separate idea for making the approval button more obvious as Kylie has suggested here.

AU Payroll Pricing - Reinstate Payroll Add-on
Re-instate the option to pay for additional people on payroll without having to jump subscription tiers.
As a small business, every dollar counts, having to jump $25/month or $40/month to add a person to payroll hurts, especially when the additional features are unnecessary.
The UK has already reinstated this option, it should be reinstated here too. (Not entirely sure why it wouldn't be other than the fact not as many people would have offered feedback here in AU comparatively to UK.
In a capitalistic world, it would be nice to see you on the front foot Xero, show your care…
4 votesWe appreciate your feedback, this will be shared with our teams. We do not accept ideas about Xero pricing plans or plan structures and cannot make commitments to ideas of this nature.

AU Payroll - Reports - Remove merge cells when exporting to excel
Don't merge cells in the Excel export of AU payroll reports
2 votesHi team, returning to the idea here I am pleased to share that with the updated payroll reports cells are no longer merged when you export the report to Excel.
We appreciate your engagement with us on this here. Thanks for sharing through product ideas! 😊

AU Payroll - Include terminated employees in pay runs for backpay
When processing backpay for employees where they have a Termination Date currently involves either an Unscheduled Pay run for a period the employee was employed or undo the Termination date, and run a payrun, then Terminate again.
Both of these are very time consuming, particularly when there are some 40 employees over an 18 month period that need to be included who have a Termination date.
It would be useful to have a function in a payrun to "include terminated employees" which keeps all the previous data, but includes them for the backpay…3 votesHi everyone, it's currently possible to have terminated employees included in unscheduled pay runs, that are prior to their termination date.
If you're experiencing any issues with this, reach out to our specialists at Support who can help 1-1.

AU Payroll - Expand columns on Pay Employees screen
In pay employees, add pay run the column last edited isn't wide enough to show the full description. It would be helpful to be able to read the whole description of when the entry was last edited. It would also be helpful to know who entered and edited the pay entry.
If new staff are in training and have completed the data entry but are nervous to speak up if an error was found/made knowing exactly who entered it would help to educate that staff member no what might have gone wrong.1 voteLooping back across your idea here, Kristy - you can view this from the History at the bottom of the screen. This'll show details of changes made to that pay run with the dates, times, the user and the change that was made, which should help identify and educating staff 🙂

AU Payroll - Add Payroll as optional extra for starter plan
PAYROLL AS AN ADD-ON IN AUSTRALIA
Please allow payroll as an add on in Australia. The very basic plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add one apprentice is prohibitive. I feel small businesses and tradies are not catered for well. We often don't need all the bells and whistles, but just something basic. To pay my apprentice via Xero will cost me an extra $360/year which is ridiculous.
7 votesHey team, as you may have recently seen on our blog payroll is now included in all of our business edition plans!
We received valuable feedback from our customers on their needs in this feature with our lower tier plans, which has helped inform this change.
Thanks for your feedback, and sharing what matters to you in Xero Product Ideas! 🙂

AU Payroll | Payroll Activity Detail Report - Export all data to Excel, not just PDF
Currently, when the Payroll Activity Detail report downloads to PDF, it includes deductions (including those that are not salary-sacrificed super) and reimbursements. However, when the Excel report is downloaded, those lines are missing. Please include everything that's in the PDF version in the Excel version.
2 votesHi all, as previously shared both reimbursements and deduction pay items will appear on the PDF and CSV exports of the Payroll Activity Detail report.
If these pay items are visible in the pay run, but aren't pulling through to your reports, please reach out to our support team for some troubleshooting. 😊

AU Payroll - Set Payment Date for Unscheduled pay run
Unscheduled pay run - most of my unscheduled pay runs are paid on the day of creation.
It would be good to be able to change the payment date to the actual date of payment instead of the date selected by the unscheduled pay run.E.g. unscheduled pay run for the week ending 13th Aug has a payment date of 16th Aug yet payment may have been made on 18th Sep.
4 votesHi all, if you've created an unscheduled pay run and wish to change the payment date, you can do this by clicking the payment date title in a draft pay run.

NZ Payroll - YTD payroll report
YTD payroll report (to see total salaries earned by staff for each reporting period)
1 voteHi Yash, thanks for submitting your idea for a YTD payroll report.
Good news! You can currently achieve this in NZ Payroll using the following existing reports:
- Pay History Report: Run this report for your desired date range (e.g., 1 April to today) to view a detailed breakdown of what has been paid to employees. It lists payments by date, allowing you to see salaries earned for each reporting period.
- Gross Earnings Report: This report can be generated for a specific date range (YTD) to see total earnings per employee, or for a specific pay run to see the totals for that reporting period.
I will close this idea as Existing functionality. If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

9 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea.
We rolled out support for downloading a payslip template in AU 🎉 It includes free payslip template as an editable PDF giving you the option to create an historical payslip from Xero.

AU Payroll - Timesheet report for leave
Would be great if we could run a report detailing which staff have taken leave (annual, personal) during the period to confirm it agrees to leave entered in Xero Me.
2 votesHi team, just returning to this idea, I've slightly amended the title and we'll move across to delivered.
As mentioned in my last update, you can use the Leave requests report which will show the start and end dates, as well as units and dollar amount. It's also possible to run the report for all, or just specific employees for the period. 🙂
