AU Payroll - Notification when a pay run with a final pay is reverted
When a final pay is created the Annual Leave is automatically paid out. However, if that pay run is posted and then reverted to draft, the Annual Leave for that final pay gets zeroed without warning.
Not expecting or being aware of this behaviour from the software, an alert message should be given when reverting a pay run with a final pay included in it, so that the Annual Leave hours can be re-added to that employees pay, or the hours should not be zeroed at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea. Currently it's only possible to revert a pay run if it's the most recent and hasn't been filed. There is no notification when reverting a final pay.

NZ Payroll - Allow employee date of birth to be optional
Please remove the requirement to have a date of birth for an employee.
We have been asking for this to be removed for years, Xero recently told us it was an IRD requirement. We contacted our account manager at Inland Revenue and they said it is not an IRD requirement and that they have been in contact with Xero Payroll to make the field non-compulsory.
The workaround that Xero gives of adding a made up date does not work and causes issues where IRD send letters that the date of birth does not match that client.
It is not a…10 votesThanks Raelene, for submitting your idea!

UK Payroll - Ignore tax calculation if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" selected
For a new starter, if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" has been selected (A), then any tax and pay figures in the YTD fields should be ignored as they could have been entered for a P45 given for a previous tax year.
1 voteGood to hear your feedback to our last update. Monica and we can re-open your idea to get a sense of interest from the wider community, however want to be open that this isn't something we have direct plans of atm.
Just to re-iterate for others coming across this post - For new employee's, if this is their first job since the start of the tax year, you should not enter a P45 or any opening balances in their employee record. Leaving these sections blank ensures the system calculates their tax correctly based on their current circumstances.

UK Payroll > Provide a warning before you delete a timesheet line
When editing or approving timesheets there is an option on the right hand side of the timesheet line to delete. This is presented as a trash icon. when you press this for a particular week, it then subsequently deletes this line if all other weeks within the payroll period with no warning. Could you implement a simple warning message for a user to click ok advising them that this action will result on deleting that particular line for all weeks of the pay period. Screenshot attached.

UK payroll: naming convention for workplace salary sacrifice pension item.
Salary sacrifice pension when set up as the default pension scheme, enrols employees with a pension deduction item "Pension provider (NPA)"
Salary sacrifice and Net pay arrangements are entirely different and should not be confused.
Xero support have repeatedly told me it is an NPA so nothing needs to change but this is incorrect.
Would it really be too difficult to have it say (SS)?
It has caused huge upset and confusion among a few of my clients who have made a full move to salary sacrifice and there is no explanation from Xero, it is just wrong.

When approving expenses in Xero Expenses, list the 'Assigned to: Project; show up next to the date and category for easy approval instead of having to click into the expense to ensure its been assigned to a project before approving the expense.

We have more planned for this space including surfacing the ability to view tracking and the customer or project an expense has been assigned to.
I'll come back to share once the teams start work on this 😊

Expenses - Permission to submit on behalf without approval
Expenses - I want to be able to give an employee the ability to submit on another's behalf but not to be able to approve them or see everyone else's expenses e.g. Executive PA should only be able to submit her the Executive and not have the option to approve or see another employee's expenses.

UK Payroll > Gross pay opening balance for non-taxable elements
the current opening balance figure are only taxable pay , i need gross pay. My client has salary sacrifice and the taxable pay is less than gross so on the payslip the YTD gross is wrong. its shows the YTD figure less the deduction.
1 voteHi Julia, thanks for sharing your idea about having non-taxable figures entered on the opening balances so that YTD figures reflect accurately on payslips.
From an HMRC compliance standpoint, Xero does calculate the correct tax because it captures the accurate "Taxable Pay" opening balance. However, we completely understand how the lack of a "Total Gross" field can cause confusing presentation issues on payslips after a mid-year migration.

UK Payroll - Ability to input HMRC payments in the taxes and filings screen
Within the taxes and filings screen that details tax months and the breakdown of liabilities, input cells beneath each value for PAYE, NIC, recoveries, etc, with the purpose of entering in amounts paid and reconciling the individual months. Most useful when overpayments/underpayments occur, or a business is on payment plan. The total for each month and overall total could then recalculate after each entry and the total balance owing should then reconcile back to the balance sheet. Essentially something similar to the VAT reconciliation function

AU Payroll - Naming Convention Payroll ABA

Payroll - Suggestion for a visual staff leave planner to manage overlaps and cover
A Planner with a visual representation of staff approved leave (with an option to note who is covering that leave) would be super helpful. We're trying to do this with with spreadsheets and it's diabolical - but the info is all there in Xero - seeing it in a planner would be AMAZING!
It would also assist with seeing overlaps to better manage additional requests for leave before approving them.5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

NZ Payroll - Option to remove Salary Hours on Payslips
Please update to have the option of removing salary hours on payslips.
We just need the Gross Salary for that line and not the hours.
When we have employees working accross different days of the week Xero Payroll round the hours and so in our example someone on 100 hours working 11 days per fortnight, Xero Payroll rounds the Salary Hours to 99.9999 on the payslip which is close but not correct. Currently no workaround for this.8 votesThanks for sharing your idea to add the option to remove salary hours from a payslip.

NZ Payroll - Auto accrual of alternative leave
Auto accrual of Alternative Leave - It would be great if there was a permanent payment item setup in Xero for public holidays worked, and when it is used Xero automatically accrued the alternative leave earned. Or at least make it more obvious that you have to manually adjust the alternative leave accrual in each pay.

AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
Currently employees can add into their timesheet a bonus or fixed amount pay item, but in Australia it seems Xero won't let the Payroll Approver actually approve a timesheet with a fixed amount item in it. So i have to take note if a certain employee is supposed to get a bonus this week, then delete it from the timesheet and then manually input it in the pay employees section.
There is so much room for error and employees risk missing out on wages they…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about allowing users enter fixed amounts such as bonus/commission to timesheets.

UK Payroll - Split tax across weeks when processing holiday pay in advance
I have moved a clients payroll from Sage to Xero. They have weekly wages and pay holiday in advance. In Sage it would calculate the week wages plus week holiday to allow for the tax free allowance for both weeks. In Xero the tax is higher in the week and the following week when a payrun of zero is processed then a tax refund would show to compensate. Is Xero able to replicate this process in Sage.
4 votesHey Lorraine! 👋 Thanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback with everyone. After reviewing your suggestion for adjusting the tax calculation for advanced holiday pay in UK Payroll, we've now made it visible so it can gain support from other community members. It’s now ready to gain votes and comments from fellow Xero users who might find this useful.
