The option to change the unit from hours to days or remove completely needs to be added. Also to have no unit & just an amount would be useful. We have allowances paid on a monthly basis & some additional pay items are based on days rather than hours.
Also for those on a Monthly Salary there is no need to include hours & an hourly rate on their payslip.

This is very important, I have an employee who switches between day and night shift, the template list both variances of ordinary hours, then time and half of both and then both the double time, its not segregated and makes it confusing for everyone. Be good so I can list all day together and then all night together

I have been asking for this for quite some time - ability to remove hours and rate.

Currently Xero dont have the function for user to customize Payslip templates?

100% agree. Just like you can for invoices. Why you can't change the layout for payslips is frustrating.

There should be so much more you can do with the style of payslips.

I for one would like to add an attachment of their timesheet.

Remove YTD figures
When a person joins from another company the figures from P45 carried onto the YTD in payslip

The limitation of being able to set up pay templates to include day rates and different unit rates does not help the client.

would like to remove YTD Figures column

Consolidate the Tax so shows net rather than two or more Tax items

This would be really useful to have on the UK version too. We have long discussions every month with our Sales team because the YTD figures complicate their view of their commission earnt.

The payslips become long and difficult to read by the end of the year with all of the itemised holidays and bank holidays etc.

Can we have this for UK payroll as well. I want to hide the YTD information as my employees have said it's unnecessary and just clutters up the payslip.

We would like to only have the word SALARY used on top of payslips rather then SALARY AND WAGES. Causes confusion between the two categories and payment implications where an Award is applicable.

We would like the option of having long service leave only show for employees who have reached 10 years service.

Agree also with this and is something we would like to be able to do. We would like to be able to modify and control the order the different pay lines are shown to avoid confusion.

Absolutely agree with this, it would resolve a lot of issues for our business.

I would like to see monthly pay represented as a lump sum rather than an hourly rate, as mentioned by other Xero users.
I would like to see any information about "pay to date" consolidated, as by December 2022 the payslips were two A4 sheets long showing all the bank holidays, and other pay items throughout the year.
The rounding to 6 decimal places means that employees' gross pay is off by a penny each month, which looks messy (i.e. if the employee has been allocated some holiday, some bank holidays, and regular hours).
Is there a planned date to allow customisation of pay slips?

Our company needs also to have the hours and rate taken from the payslip. Once an employee has an increase annually we need the rate within Xero to work out the fortnightly salary without the employee querying why the hourly rate has changed.

I would like the pay categories and awards to be set as template without having to add them all each time a new employee starts

I absolutely would love this function! We pay our employees monthly, 1/12th of their annual salary. Xero manages to calculate our pay correctly using an hours times rate, but the rate fluctuates every month and employees are always wondering why their hourly rate has changed. If we fix the rate, then the hours don't match what they actually worked, and they query the hours worked. We would love to stop the hourly rate from printing on the payslip.

I also agree with having this functionality. We have a need to order pay items specifically within the pay template to allow software partners such as Deputy to correctly integrate timesheets with Xero.

Currently there is a misconception that Xero will order pay items within a template in numerical or alphabetic order, but this is only true if all pay items rate types are set to the same option eg, all rate per unit. As soon as pay item rate types are mixed, the pay items have their own hierarchy that overrides the alphanumeric order.

I agree, the rigid format does not work for us. We would prefer to have all the year to date information in one block and the current month in another.
Removing the irritating hour part would be useful.
