AU Payroll - Payroll Advisors to receive Superannuation email notifications
Please include all Payroll Advisors in Superannuation bounceback email notifications.
Currently, only the Super approver receives an email notification when any super payment has bounced. Often, the Super approver does not pass this on in a timely manner, and it's not practicable to be constantly refreshing the Super Payments screen to check for any bounces, particularly for Accountants who manage multiple organisations in Xero.
With Payday Super coming in to effect on 1 July 2026, the window for ensuring super is paid is very tight. If only the Super approver is notified, they may not have the ability act accordingly…
127 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest here especially with upcoming Payday Super. I'd like to share that notifications and prompts are being developed with some of the changes we're working on, and achieve what's being asked here.
I'll round back when this is live and confirm what these look like to help in your processing of Superannuation here.

UK Payroll - Set time and day when scheduling payslips
I love that you can now schedule payslips but it would be much better if you could choose date and time rather than 1 day/2 days/3 days etc this is fussy, a calendar and time would be fanastic !!!!
58 votesThanks for the great discussions here, just wanted to touch base to let you know we’re listening. The idea is still open and currently gathering support on Xero Product Ideas, so we don’t have a public timeframe to share right now. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on support here and update if anything changes.

AU Payroll - Allow adding super authorisation code via Xero accounting app.
Superannuation - I propose that Xero considers adding the ability to approve superannuation payments on the app rather than having to access approvals via the internet when working remotely.

AU Payroll - Future dated pay rate changes (Effective Dating)
I like to be able to change a payrate in advance but still be able to use the old payrate in the current pay runs. Then adding a new line for ordinary hours with the new pay rate if it starts in the middle of a pay week. This way you don't have to go into each employee to change the rate if you have a pay week where it is the old payrate for eg 2 days and the new one for 3 days. It's also handy when you have to set up pay runs in advance because you…

Payroll - Suggestion for a pre-submission alert/limit for negative leave balances in Xero Me
When employees are using xero me app to book leave and the amount of leave they are requesting will cause their leave balance to go to a negative, either the app needs to not allow them to submit the leave as they are in negative already or will go negative or an alert to say that they are/will be in negative that they then need to acknowledge to submit the leave.

AU Payroll - Payday super reminders
With the pending Payday super requirements, can there be a reminder or a "can't progress" feature to prompt the person processing the payroll to also pay the Payday super?
Can the business choose to pay superannuation using BPay details instead of linking to a bank account?
41 votesHey community, thanks for your engagement about your needs in Payday Super.
As you may have seen, we've introduced a new auto super overview page which indicates the number of contributions that need attention/are past their expected payment date, as well as batches that need your attention too.
We have plans for developing send email notifications that'll be triggered to all payroll admins;
- 1 day after the expected payment date has passed, and again
- 7 days after if no action has been taken
We'll keep you updated on these notifications here and encourage your continued feedback.

AU Payroll - Cap leave requests at the employee’s current leave balance (or a set advance limit)
Restrict leave requests when there is insufficient leave.
It would be really good if we could prevent employees from requesting leave they do not have, or set an acceptable amount that they are allowed go into negative hours (eg up to -5, but not more than that, or however much each workplace deems okay). At the moment an employee with 2 hours available can request 100 hours leave. With many different dept managers approving the leave, sometimes they don't look at the balance, and approve it anyway, causing the payroll manager to have to go back to both and explain…

AU Payroll: super payment status
With Payday super approaching, it would be good to have a progress indicator on the super submission page, or somewhere. i have submitted super for a period but the submission page is still showing as unpaid, whereas it should say submitted to avoid double processing.
19 votesHey everyone! Thanks for supporting the idea of getting greater visibility into your super payment tracking.
With the ATO's PayDay Super changes rolling out in July 2026, superannuation is firmly on our product team's roadmap. Keep an eye out for updates from the payroll team in the coming months!

Payroll AU: Include superannuation payments report in posted pay run options
Include the "superannuation payments" report in the "view reports" drop down menu in Payroll / Pay Employees.
This would be beneficial for payday super because you would be able to download the report directly from the payroll facility when processing the pay run.20 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll - Ability to customise self onboarding form
It would be very helpful if we can add custom fields on the self-onboarding form to get the information that are specific to an organisation.
17 votesAppreciate organisations have different needs and details that they'd collect from employees. It's great to hear you're making use of self onboarding and we'll get a sense of the wider interest for customising this from the community here.
This isn't something we have plans of at present but will share if there are any updates.

AU Payroll - timesheet audit trail
Can we have an audit trail on Timesheets, please? If there is a dispute around timesheet entries, changes, submissions, retractions, re-submissions, approvals etc. it would be invaluable to have an audit trail for the employee. the approver and business owner to refer to. I was surprised this didn't exist as both Xero AI and ChatGPT explained how to find it! Sadly Xero Support confirmed this audit trail does not exist.

AU Payroll - SGC statement report
Require an SGC statement report ( a combination of Employee remuneration + payroll activity summary report) that includes all details required about the employee and super accrued on OTE + Overtime hours worked. This would enable efficient reporting to the ATO when super payments are late.

AU Payroll - Add leave into pay run without creating leave request
Why cant small operators bypass the LEAVE function and approval process. If one of my workers has a sick day it would be far easier to simply adjust the payslip to 7.6 hours under the sick category and it then automatically deducts it from the leave balance. Same for holidays etc. Its quite time consuming for small operators.

AU Payroll - Add Super payment status to Pay Employees Screen
Add a column similar to the STP Filing one in the Pay Employees Screen to show whether the super for the payrun has been included in a payment yet or not.
This way at a quick glance all users will be able to see that the super has been included in a batch and sent for payment - or whether the batch it was in has failed etc...
If it was forgotten to submit the super on the prior payrun it will be picked up quicker.9 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

UK Payroll: Timesheets to include start and finish times
It would be super helpful if an employee could enter start and finish times, plus any unpaid breaks, into their timesheet and Xero would calculate the number of hours worked. That way it would be easier for the employer to check what they are approving.
10 votesThanks for sharing your idea. There's a lot going on in the Xero timesheet world right now, so it's great to see so many great ideas shared.

Approve Super Now, Pay on Payday — Future-Dated Super to Match Payday Super Compliance
Approve Super Now, Pay on Payday — Future-Dated Super to Match Payday Super Compliance
Currently, when a payroll approver authorises superannuation in Xero, the payment is submitted to the clearing house immediately or on the next business day — regardless of when wages are scheduled to land. This creates a compliance tension for businesses using future-dated ABA files, where wages are processed ahead of pay day but released on a scheduled date.
With the introduction of Payday Super legislation in Australia from 1st July 2026, employers are required to pay super on the same day as wages. Xero should allow…

AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone
AU Payroll - Email auto super code to email address instead of mobile number for overseas travelers who don't always have access to mobile phone
71 votesHi everyone, we just wanted to provide a quick update on this one as the upcoming payday super changes will be top of everyone's minds.
The current approval step is important for both cash flow management and security and the community has also suggested a few different ideas on how to approach this:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify - currently gaining support
If either of these ideas reflects what’d work best for you, please add your vote, to help us get a clearer understanding what matters most to our community.
When we’re through the thick of EOY and initial payday super is rolled out, our product team will circle back around to these ideas to review.

AU Payroll - Filter Super payables by employee group
Add Super payment sort function
Could you add a feature that allows sorting by location? Since our employees are spread across multiple locations, this would help us group and process payments more efficiently by location.6 votesHi Cilla, thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help.
