AU Payroll - Preset Start and end date for Child support deductions
It would be useful for child support deductions to be able when we get the letter saying "this much from this date to that date and this much from that date going forward" to be able to put both those things in at the same time rather than relying on all-too-fallible humans to remember to go in and change the amounts on a particular date.

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
8 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

NZ Payroll - Ability to add a description field to pay template deductions
Will it be possible to have "description field" in the Deduction field of the Pay template? That can be changed or updated directly on the pay template. For example, to add the ending date for staff loan deductions.

Expense Claim without staff using XeroMe
Would be great to be able to create an expense claim for all the staff members listed in Payroll without them having XeroMe access.
Our staff don't use XeroMe at all, but submit expense claims on the odd occasion. The Expense option is a great idea but very limiting to the staff members that we can use it for.5 votesHi Vanessa. Thank you for this suggestion.
We understand that for staff who rarely claim expenses, setting them up as a Xero user just to process a single reimbursement can be administratively heavy.
As you have found, the current Expenses module requires the "Claimant" to be an invited Xero user. Because your request is to allow claims for "non-users", we are classifying this as a new idea to Gain Support.
A note on Xero Me access: If the main barrier is that your staff prefer not to use the mobile app, it is worth noting that they can also submit their claims via the web version of Xero Me (logging in via a desktop) instead of using the app.
A workaround for non-users: For staff who do not have a Xero login, you can process their Expense Claim on their behalf. If you need an extra hand you can raise…

UK Payroll - Previous Payroll ID field to be optional or opt-out clearer
Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID. Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could…

AU Payroll - process payments for wages and super using .aba
Include Super in payroll .aba export.
Why does Super need to be treated differently to the other bank transfers included in a payroll .aba export? Include the transfer to the Super clearinghouse with the other transfers so we can skip the extra steps and external authorisation process (which is just weird and disconnected from everything else Xero).2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We want to be transparent that adding superannuation payments into the payroll .aba export isn’t in our product team's pipeline.
This is because super payments need extra information that an .aba file can’t carry, such as a member number, USI, TFN etc.
.aba files are designed for standard electronic bank payments, so they can't upload this complex data in the file format required for super contributions.
For more detail on the changes coming with Payday Super from 1 July 2026, I’d recommend our Xero Central article. We’re also rolling out improvements to Auto Super and streamlining the payment workflow in Xero, so paying super after each pay run will be faster, easier and remain SuperStream compliant.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to Drag and drop hours between days
When entering hours and locations into the timesheet, if a day is selected incorrectly (for example, selecting Thursday instead of Friday), it would be very helpful to be able to drag and drop the hours to the correct day rather than having to delete and re-enter the time in the correct day.

Payroll AU: Download super payment report from a batch
Automatic superannuation>Payment batch details>Payment processing
Would you be able to add a print option to this screen?
After processing the Superannuation payment, this is the final screen that shows that the Superannuation payments are queued up for payment with Xero.
I would like to save this record in my Payroll batch for the Accountant.
This shows the Accountant that I have processed the Superannuation payment.1 voteHi Rachel, thanks for sharing this idea!
Currently it's possible to generate reports for paid and unpaid superannuation accruals by using the Superannuation Accruals or Superannuation Payment report.
However, we can definitely see the benefit and convenience of having a bespoke report that's downloadable directly from an approved batch.

User roles - Hide the Customers list for Expenses "submitter" users
I appreciate that the "Assign to customer" option is useful, but I do not want all of our field staff who use Expenses seeing our customer list. Surely this option can be removed for "Expenses Submitter" roles (but kept on for "Approvers" and "Admin")?

NZ Payroll - Allow Employees to save a copy of a submitted timesheet for their records before approval/edits
It would be great for employees to have an option to save a copy of their Submitted timesheet, for their records. This means they would have proof of their Submitted timesheet to then compare to their timesheet once Approved.
Often employers may make edits to the entered hours or earnings types before Approving an employee's timesheet, and the employee having the option to save a copy of their timesheet before it is Submitted would mean they could directly compare the two, and check any edits made are correct.
1 voteThanks for highlighting this opportunity. We understand the request for employees to be able to download or save a copy of a submitted timesheet before it's approved or edited. Having access to the original submission could help employees keep their own records and refer back to what was submitted.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd like this to work.

AU Payroll - Contractor Type for Performing Artists
Contactor income type for performers
Given the changes to the entitlement to Super for performing artists and a flat rate of 20% PAYG on the payment amount in the last few years, I'd like to see an income type for performers under Contractors. It would also be useful if there is pay item to include GST (being that they are ABN contractors who could be registered for GST - I believe NZ has something along these lines).1 voteHi Natalie. Thanks for sharing your idea for a preconfigured contractor type for Performing Artists.
In regards to applying GST for contractors, this is actually an existing Product Idea. I've added your vote to it so we can keep you updated :)
On this idea, we will focus just on the Performing Artist contractor type.
It's now up to the community to let us know how an additional contractor type would improve their Xero experience.

Tracking - Assign Tracking categories for expense users
It would be useful to be able to assign default tracking categories to users for expense submission so these don't need to be manually added to each individual claim.
11 votesHello everyone, we understand that being able to automatically assign tracking categories to users for their expense claims would be a huge benefit, saving you time and ensuring accurate reporting. 📈
We've heard your suggestions we're continuing to monitor the interest in this idea, but it's not on our current development roadmap. We'll be sure to update you here if anything changes in the future. 👋

AU Payroll - Include a comparison field in Payroll Reports
Payroll reports - it will be good to have a COMPARISION field on payroll reports just like the P&L - to compare with previous n number of months / periods.
While the grouping / summarizing features are good - they are limited to just reporting on a particular period.
Hence any Comparisions are tedious to run / export and consolidate on excel.
For. eg. I'd like to run a report to display :
Afternoon Shift Loading & Overtime work for a month OR the full FY with monthly columns.
Is this something we can get to without having to export…27 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

UK Payroll - Tax code update emails
I wanted to set up email notifications when Xero receives a tax code change that it can't auto update.
As I am not logged in everyday I missed the effective dates of some employee tax code changes and then cannot effect the change on the correct date, as it doesn't back date far enough when manually changing the date.
I received a tax code change that Xero couldn't auto update 5 days, however I never saw the notification and now cannot back date the effective date to the correct date. I am unable to find where to have these pop…
