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 - Automatically calculate pro-rata salary based on employee's starting date
New Employee start date is part way through a pay week. The New pay run does not recognise the start day and calculates an entire weeks pay.
This requires manual calculation and double check if the pay run has been recalculated. Open to errors and over payment17 votes -
AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances of other unit types
When operating tracking income and expenses in two areas, payroll allows for the primary tracking category when setting up the employee and the time sheet allows the secondary tracking option to be selected.
Currently the timesheet option only allows for the 'hours worked' to be allocated to the secondary tracking option. Any allowance can only be added at the pay run which means it cannot be added to the secondary tracking category.
Can we have the ability to add allowances as an option in the timesheet?

AU Payroll - Search for Employees within a Draft Payrun
One of my clients has hundreds of employees and at present when processing an unscheduled pay run, I have to keep clicking through the pages to find the employee. It would be so much quicker to be able to search for an employee within the Draft Payrun to then select to add.

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 - ABN exempt non-employee contractors
I hope Xero will soon introduce the feature for ABN exemption for non-employee contractors, as there are cases that they are ABN exempt. I'm sharing the ATO link with you for your reference, https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/statement-by-supplier-not-quoting-an-abn?

AU Payroll | Pay Items - Date driven (add start & end date)
Can we please have the ability to add effective start and end dates against pay items. For example, a deduction may only be for 10 weeks at a set amount. Rather than having to setup multiple notes offline to remind us of this, can't we have this function setup in the payroll system so it only deducts the amount over the set period specified?

AU Payroll - Ability for Business Owner/Payroll Manager to view & complete draft timesheets
We want to be able to open and complete the employees draft timesheet, if it has already been started. We have enough to do without starting again from scratch what the employee may have already done but just not clicked the submit button.
It is idiotic that, as the owner and payroll manager, that we cannot see an employee's draft timesheets.
As the business owner and Payroll Admin, we should:
- not have compromise our recordkeeping by putting hours directly into the pay slip.
- not have to rely on our employees being available to correct the timesheet at…
174 votesHey Community, thanks for all the support shown for this idea. We understand that the core of this request is for business owners and payroll admins to be able to view, edit and complete draft timesheets.
Our product teams have carefully considered this, however we want to be upfront that developing this capability isn't on our foreseeable roadmap at this time.
The idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to gauge interest, as it will be important for when we next review our payroll priorities. Thanks again for sharing with us here, we really do value your input.

AU Payroll - Exclude Zero Balances on Payroll Reports
Payroll Reports - When generating reports I would love to be able to tick a button to say 'EXCLUDE ZERO' balances.

AU Payroll - Ability to edit timesheet tracking after a pay run is processed
At the moment, if an employee allocates their hours to the wrong cost centre (i.e. the incorrect Xero tracking category) and the payroll has already been posted, there’s no way to correct the allocation — even if the pay run hasn’t yet been submitted to the ATO.
This becomes problematic for organisations like ours that rely on accurate tracking of labour costs by project or cost centre. In most cases, the number of hours worked remains correct — it’s just the cost centre allocation that needs fixing.
Would it be possible to introduce a feature that allows tracking categories to…
1 voteThank you for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.
Our Community have reviewed your idea to allow tracking categories to be edited after a payrun has been posted. This has now moved to the Gaining Support status.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

AU Payroll - Filter Leave Balance report by employment status
Has support considered the option to filter the leave balance report by employment status? When generating this report all employees are listed or only an individual employee. Why would we need the current balance of leave for terminated employees? I have some employees who have returned, so both are listed but I don't know which is active until I run the report on each.

AU Payroll - Unpaid Intern to be set up in Xero Payroll
Unpaid Intern. I have an Uni student doing an internship. We offered to pay $500 per month as a transport allowance. The unpaid intern is not an employee. When I wanted to set this person up in Payroll, I found limitations: the only available contracts are full time, part time and casual. I tried to set her up as casual, which is wrong, and link the transport allowance. An error pop up asking to calculate Superannuation. I give up.
In this case, MYOB is better, as we have an option to "not report" and we don't pay…1 vote -
AU Payroll - Reports - Sort by First OR Surname
I would like the payroll reports to be able to be sorted by first name or last name. I sue them for a number of reporting requirements with third parties and it would make it so much easier if I was able to do this.

NZ Payroll - Add multiple bank accounts for payroll batch payments
To minimise additional payroll payment processing it would be great to have the ability to pay employees from more than one Company bank account using the Payroll Batch payment functionality i.e Employee 1,2,3,4 gets paid from Bank Account A and Employee 5,6,7,8 gets paid from Bank Account B.

NZ Payroll - Adjust hours automatically in 1st pay run to recognise employee start date
Xero defaults to full pay period hours for a new employee in the 1st payrun even if the employee start date (already entered into Xero) is part-way through a payrun. This doesn't make sense and is too easy to overpay a new employee in this way, if a manual override has not been done. Ideally, Xero would calculate the expected hours for a salaried employee based on the start date, but another idea would be to flash up a warning before finalising a payrun with employees that have a start date listed within…

AU Payroll - Revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a pay run has been filed
Please automatically revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a payrun has been filed. At the moment after a payrun is filed with the ATO we are taken back to the "Post Payrun" / "File" page. You then have to click on "Close" to be taken to the "Pay Employees" page. Why the extra step?

AU Payroll - Reconciliation - Automatically recognise & match payroll transactions
When reconciling bank transactions,
It would be great if payroll transactions offered an automatic reconciliation in the same way that a batch payment of bills gives an auto option.13 votesHey community, thanks for your continued interest and feedback on this idea.
Right now, you can set up bank rules to code future payroll payments, or turn on Suggest previous entries so that Xero suggests a transaction each time.
If there's any future changes we will let you know on the thread here. Thanks

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.

AU Payroll - Allow Xero users to approve timesheets
Please allow timesheet approval as a sub option to payroll admin in the user set up, similar to "invoice only" option in the business and accounting setup. We have employees on labour hire contracts that need to submit their hours to the client supervisor for approval so that we can get paid. We want to be able to add the client rep without giving them full access to payroll. The only current work around is to add them as as a "Contractor - Non Employee" in Xero Payroll
