AU Payroll - Ability to hide Payroll accounts from employees with Standard user permissions
It was bought to my attention after using xero for over 2 years that depending on how you pay your staff using multipayment or individually that when you reconcile if your staff have access to contacts then they will see the payments made.
This is a concern for me that they can see the amounts whether your reconcile as a bulk amount and allocate to them or a generic contact - if you use the cash coding area then xero creates a dummy payee called unknown which again can be seen by your staff with standard access.
They can also…

UK Payroll - V NI Category start date
Tried to amend the national insurance category to a v category for 6 weeks after the employees start date, as that is when they were valid from, to find the calendar will only allow me to amend to a date previous or on their start date with the company. Has anyone else encountered this issue at all?
1 voteHi Laura, it looks like you also raised a support case about this which has since been resolved.
To recap, when you add a V category, you'll have the option to enter a date in which the category starts from. Then you would need to enter the date in which the employee was first employed as a civilian.
For example, V category is valid from 31 Jan, therefore you can only enter the employment civilian date up until 31 Jan. You won't be able to enter an employment date after the NI category date.

UK Payroll - Option to add dates and reminders into the Overview Calendar
Could the user have access to the calendar in payroll to allow them to manually input other dates that are important but not automatically fed into the calendar and also set up reminder alerts?
Sage allowed you to this which was really useful if you had to remove/add a benefit on a certain date.

AU Payroll - Annual Transaction Listing report per employee
Hi
I would like to be able to process a Payroll Transaction Summary Listing report that shows the individual amounts per pay item for every employee for the financial year in one report. Currently, I need to select the individual employee to get this information, but this is not practical when a business has 10 or more employees as it takes too much time to select each employee individually to get this information.

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.

UK Payroll - Ability to add note on an individual employee payslip
Payslip Notes - ability to write a note on an individual employee payslip not just one generic note for everyone.
8 votesThanks for the community help on the idea here.
As shared messages can be added to either all staff payslips or individual employee's pay slips.
From within the draft pay run, next to the employee name, click the Memo button + to add a personal message on the employee's payslip. 😊

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.

UK Payroll - Remove YTD bank holidays from payslips
There is no reason to keep the previous bank holidays on every payslip.
I can’t seem to get rid of previous bank holidays from showing on current/future payslips. Why are bank holidays from the Easter and the King's Coronation still appearing on payslips May 2023 onwards?? Doesn’t look very professional. This is all on the YTD earnings line. Why isn't there an option to remove it? Clients are not very happy.
12 votesHi everyone, returning now a few weeks on from our last update, we’re going to move this idea to ‘Delivered’ with the change the team made to Payslip PDFs. We have now combined all previous earnings as one YTD line so that your employees only see the most relevant information 🥳

AU Payroll - Track days off for non-employee contractors
It would be very helpful if we could allocate and track unpaid leave categories for non-employees so we can see when they are going to take holidays.

NZ Payroll - Contractors Bills
NZ Payroll. Contractors invoicing us on piece of work basis, we need to deduct WT and to do Payday filing with IRD. In Xero Payroll, can Xero split "Contractors" from "Employees" clearly in all reports (I see many others have asked for that already) and add a "bill feature" to Contractors in Xero Payroll similar to that we use in Xero Payables so we can copy/edit them in future? This will enable saving contractor's bills in each pay run and use bill layout document vs timesheet. Otherwise, if contractors bills that include WT are processed in…

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 - Full data import for Employees
Enable full data import from external data source (say CSV) for all emplolyee data not just basic data. That would allow organisations with more staff to easily migrate to XERO without having to manually re-enter significant volumes of data.

Payroll: add more reports
The choice of payroll reports is so limited on Xero. Can the suite of reports be expanded so that they can give us the information we need to do analysis on?
43 votesThank you for your engagement and sharing through product ideas, everyone. While we appreciate wanting more flexibility and detail in payroll reports, with payroll development quite separated for each region, and to help our product teams best understand the data that would be most useful for our customers we're going to close this idea and recommend starting ideas for the specific fields that would be helpful in reports and why you'd find this useful.
Taking a closer look at ideas for what's been mentioned in this thread we have a couple of ideas users in this idea may want to vote on;
Welcome to come back and share links for other idea you create that others in this idea may want to support. 🙏

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.11 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

Global Payroll - Support for multi currency payroll
Suggestions:
The Payroll /Or Payrun system can also be currency optional
Companies are becoming more international. The online office model is not limited to the workplace, and salaries will be paid in different currencies. This is probably going to be a trend.
12 votesWe appreciate the input and interest this idea has received overtime. However as you may have recently received word - We’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to 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.
This also means that we don't have any plans for further development of our Global Pay Run product, and will move any ideas related to this on this site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements,…
