    Hey Sara 👋


    Thanks for sharing your idea! 


    You'll now have the option to use an address lookup in the initial employee set-up screen and in the employee details screen.


    This is part of our 'Building on Beautiful' work, you can read more about it on our Xero Central page here 😁

  4. Payroll Department Coding - to be able to put a department code on all payroll categories and report to show employee name/gross wages/department coding assigned to payroll. The only way in Xero at the moment is through timesheets but this does not allow for all payroll categories to have a department code allocated. And when producing a timesheet report it does not show the $ gross wages for each employee only the hours. Need to include coding on allowances, leave and super.

  5. 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.

    You can now download the STP Year-to-Date Summary report for a specific employee after STP finalisation, Lisa. 😊

    1. From the Payroll menu select 'Single Touch Payroll'
    2. Click the 'Tax year' drop box in the top right > Select the required tax year
    3. Go into the Finalisation tab > Click 'View report'
    4. Select the required employee/s > Click the 'Export' button to download the report
  6. 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.

  8. It would be great if we could pay our employees similar to how we can process a batch payment in XERO for bills. At the moment I am having to go into the bank account at the end and pay each employee individually.

    Is there another way to do this ? I may be missing something.

    Thank you

  9. It would be very useful to have a report that shows at a glance when each employee last had a pay rise. Like an extra column in the Employee Remuneration Report. Or an audit report that shows the history of pay changes for all employees in one place.

  10. With ever changing minimum wage requirements (UK only) which are based on an employees age it would be useful to be able to have a 'one pager' report that lists the employee name and the current age. Their age is data which is already in Xero as part of the employee profile. A report would be useful to help payroll staff check who needs to move onto new wages / salaries based on age groups.

  11. Employees have requested their net pay to be paid across more than four bank accounts, though this function is not available. Increasing the number of bank accounts would assist employees and those processing payroll.

  13. In Payroll --> Timesheet --> entering hours for employees, there is no option to 'Approve & Next' employee, which would make entering hours easier. It would mean one doesn't have to keep going back to the main Timesheet menu when they are working through a roster of staff.

  14. If an employer pays irregular wages, there is not option in the calendar or the employee card.
    It would be great to assign irregular pay runs to the employee card.

  15. Include the ability to set multiple pay cycles for the same employee. For example, wages are paid fortnightly but commissions are paid monthly. The dates are not aligned with the period if we use only one pay cycle.

  16. Employee Pay Template - order of "Earnings type"
    It would be great to have the ability to reorder an employee's earnings types so that the most frequently used show first on the list when processing a pay run. At the moment, with the exception of Salary & Wages that defaults to the very top, all other "Earnings types" are listed alphabetically and there is no ability to change this order (drag & drop).

  17. 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.

    Hi 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.

  18. When doing a catch up job it takes forever to have to click into each pay run then back into pay employees and repeat. It would be great to be able to tick each one on the payroll > pay employees screen and then submit all at once.

  19. Since the latest Payroll update there seems to be no functionality in Xero to change how the name of the Employee Summary report appears when saved. There are too many _ between words, for example: JoeBloggsPtyLtd-PayrollEmployee_Summary 4 June 2024.

    So frustrating. Bring back the old style PDF format.

  20. Be able to produce a payroll report for leave balances with a running balance. I want to be able to see all leave accrued, leave taken and the running balance in one report.
