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

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Canada
Payroll options for Canada :)
21 votesHi team, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Canada. We don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions, and I will move this idea to Not planned.
If you've been using our Global Pay Run product you may have recently received communication of changes we're making that we believe will help you manage your payroll more effectively.
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their…

NZ Payroll - Process timesheets for future periods
Allow a timesheet to be created for the week ahead of the pay week. This allows employees with standard hours to enter their hours in advance. It also allows managers to run payrolls in advance if circumstances need it

UK Payroll - Indicate premiums on payslip when payrolling health insurance benefit
Be able to add a message for each individual employee to tell them what their premium is for their medical insurance benefit.
The premium for each employee is different, so can't use the payslip message on a payroll run. Adding individual data to a person's payslip each month is too labour intensive.
Maybe some type of pay item without affecting their pay/tax/NI etc. It could then be added to their pay template so it appears every month.

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 - Option to choose a date to send EE payslips
The option to choose a date to send EE payslips would be a huge help , when you are running multiply payrolls this option would be invaluable. I may run a payroll on the 10th of the month yet payday is 30th so need to remember to log in and send payslips on the 29th. Takes a lot of time up.

AU Payroll - Payroll Activity Summary report to show unused annual leave paid
just like overtime wages, it's important to separate unused annual leave paid from regular annual leave paid because this will enable accountant to quickly cal-check whether super guarantee has been calculated/set up correctly. it's impractical or inefficient if we have to check all the pay item settings.

AU Payroll - Remove terminated employees
Ex Employees older than 5 years cannot be deleted. Data still contains payslips. Old data can be overwritten but payslips remain and employee cannot be deleted because Xero thinks it is in a payrun. This is a cyber security breach as old data of ex employees can still be accessed and cannot be deleted.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Update time in lieu balance
The current option available for updating the time in lieu of XERO is to previously inform the fixed number of hours that will be added to the leave balance in the leave register. However, the number of hours varies each week, so I cannot predict in advance how many hours each employee will work.
My suggestion includes an automatic update from the time in lieu of using a timesheet. Thus reducing the probability of errors by entering the balance manually.

UK Payroll - More options for Gender
Add other gender options for personal settings, non-binary & intersex
24 votesThanks for confirming, Andy - Really appreciate the screenshot. 🙂
I've checked in with our Payroll team where this detail is saved.
We appreciate wanting more options for gender when entering personal details, and in some regions such as AU & NZ this is optional.
Currently, in order to ensure successful payroll filings with HMRC in the UK, we need to match the schema they provide. That said, our team are reassessing how this fits in Xero so I'll shift this Idea to 'under review' and can share any updates that come. -
AU Payroll | Employees - Consistency between export and import details
Please re-work the Employee Contact Details report to include ALL of the information available in the employee bulk upload template and in the same format. Also add email address to the bulk upload format as it is already in the Employee Contact Details report.
When a client undergoes a restructure, the employees must be copied into the new file. It is EXTREMELY time consuming to type it all.
You have the start of a great export/import ability, it just needs a little bit of attention and it would be perfect.

NZ Payroll - Employee leave sort by first name
Can you please consider adding an option under Employee> Leave to sort by employee first name. You already had an option to sort by surname however it would be great to also be able to sort by first name. Thanks

AU Payroll - Show Annual leave in the General Ledger
We need to be able to account for annual leave transactions in the general ledger but Xero does not currently facilitate this. Is there any chance that an update will be done which will allow this? I know that this has already been raised but it is baffling as to why a basic payroll/GL integration is lacking.

AU Payroll - Access to payroll reports when downgrading subscription
You should allow current subscription holders the ability to create reports on all of their data. At the moment if you stop employee staff and therefore downgrade your subscription, XERO removes all payroll reports. So when you need to print a report you cannot without changing your subscription to include payroll again, even they you don't need to pay employees. It costs you a 30 day subscription to print one report. This is a big fault and something I can do in MYOB. Please fix this madness.

UK Payroll - Reducible balance on employee loan items
Employee loans and advances should have the ability to add the gross amount starting date deduction amount this should then be reduced by each payment so the amount still owe can be seen at any time.

AU Payroll - Custom Fields for Payroll Items
Custom Fields for Payroll Items - eg Item is included in Payroll Tax or Workcover remuneration or CoInvest reporting
9 votesHey Jen, thanks for submitting your idea!
Just checking if you're referring to Custom Pay Items, which are already available in Xero Payroll.
If not, could you let us know some examples of custom fields you require, that aren't already available in Xero Payroll?

AU Payroll - Turn off reminder to pay the employees and file the pay run
Allow us to turn off the pop up that shows when posting a pay run. I don't need reminders to pay the employees and file the pay run especially when I do payroll for 20+clients.
