AU Payroll - Submit total hours for week rather than each day
Option to submit total ordinary hours for week rather than each day. + Alam reminder to do hours just before payrun is done
5 votesWe appreciate you sharing your ideas regarding timesheets.
We've reviewed your idea and can see that the idea regarding notifications is an existing Xero Product Idea called Notification - Reminder to employee to enter Timesheet. This is currently in review with our product team.
The ability to input weekly hours (rather than daily) has not yet been raised though. The idea is now available to the community to share their support. We'll keep you updated!

UK payroll - Automatically create a pension bill from filling
It would be really helpful if a bill could be created from the pension filing figures on payroll once you have clicked on marked as filed. (such as it is an option when you do your vat return)

It's a great idea and I can confirm it will now be put forward to the status of Gaining Support.

AU Payroll - Payrun history expand or collapse button OR group in payroll years
Ability to have an expand and collapse button for pays previously posted and presented under Pay Run History.
After using Xero for a number of years, locating a previous pay run becomes looking for a needle in a haystack as this section is just a swamp of pays.
Grouping in payroll financial years or having a date filter would assist greatly also.
4 votesHi Yvonne, thanks so much for raising this idea and sharing your thoughts with us. We totally see how useful it’d be to have the option to expand or collapse pay run history, or group it by financial year in the Payroll product.
As pay run history builds up, it can definitely get a bit tedious trying to scroll through and find what you need. Having a more organised view would really help when you’re digging into older payroll data.
As a temporary workaround, you may find it helpful to use Ctrl + F (or Command + F on Mac) to quickly search the screen for a specific date or payroll year. We know it’s not a perfect fix, especially when there’s a lot of data, but it might make things a little quicker in the meantime.
Right now, your idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, and we’re keeping a…

AU Payroll - Timesheet - Option to 'Approve & Next' employee
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.
56 votesHi community 🙂 We appreciate that managing and reviewing employee timesheets is a big part of your week.
Our product teams are working to make this easier for you in Xero Payroll - We’re updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.
Join our early access program
We’d love your help to shape these improvements. We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program, where you'll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.
What you can expect:
- Easier admin tasks: Navigate your list and details views faster (this only impacts admins, so there’s no change for employees)
- Early access: Try these updates before they’re available to everyone
- Quick feedback: Help us fine-tune the final product by taking short surveys within the…

AU Payroll - Right click to open Payrun in a new browser tab
I find that it's extremely annoying how you can't open up payruns and employee profiles from a right mouse click in a new tab. It would be nice if the UX could cater to this for smoother and faster movements. Also with new fixed assets it would be ideal if we could click the whole asset line rather than one tiny little link - would save a lot of frustration when bulk writing off assets. Overall it shows up in Xero in a few places and would make life a lot easier if we could use intuitive commands like Ctrl…
1 voteHi Rachel, appreciate your raising your feedback with us here. While I understand the underlying improvement you're asking for relates to navigation we do request to have separate ideas for the change you'd like to see in each are a of the product.
As we continue to develop Xero our prodyct teams are creating more consistency in behaviours however this is also in consideration of user flows and roles. We cannot commit to making this change across all areas of Xero but it would be great to get a better understanding of the interest in specific actions you'd find this useful for that the team can take into consideration and we can keep you updated of. I've updated the title of our idea here for being able to right click and open a Payrun but you are welcome to create new ideas for each other area you'd find a right…

UK Payroll - Leave Transactions report
A report that provides details of employees leave to be able to see the leave accruals and leave taken for the pay period.
This would help as an audit trail and when preparing a salary budget or during a salary review.74 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important granular leave reporting is for your payroll processing. We understand many of you are tracking Leave outside of Xero as a workaround.
We hear you’re also interested in a Leave Balances Report. UK Payroll - Leave Balances Report is a separate Product Idea, so we’d love to see your votes and ideas on this topic too.
Whilst a Leave Transactions Report is not currently set in our roadmap, our product team is reviewing the viability of developing more comprehensive reporting solutions.
We are changing the status of this idea to Accepted. Keep an eye on this idea and we’ll update you when there are further developments.

NZ Payroll - Contractor pay items exempt from GST.
In situations where a contractor receives mixed payments (eg includes some exempt services), is it possible to apply GST only to the applicable gross earnings rather than automatically applying GST to the total earnings?
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea on processing additional GST exempt items on contractor payslips. Currently you'll need to apply a tax adjustment to the payslip.

UK payroll - Turn off automatic journal posting for payroll
As the automatic journal for payroll is not able to be viewed before posting to accounts, we should have the option to turn off automatic journals. Currently, we have to post, then go back and do another journal to split out ER NI & Pension for different departments. This system is so unflexible.

AU Payroll - Allow Pay Frequency updates (without deleting future Leave/Timesheets)
For pay frequency for an employee, it would be good to be able to change this even if the employee has a pending leave request. Future leave or unprocessed leave has no relationship to the pay frequency if I want to pay an unscheduled bonus or other payment. This is very limiting as I may not be in a position to approve or process the leave before I need to change a pay frequency on an employee.

AU Payroll - Add hours for Public Holiday when using timesheets.
Add default hours for Public Holiday's based on the employee's standard work pattern.
9 votesHi Darren, thanks for clarifying with our support team that your employees submit timesheets. I've updated your idea to reflect this.
If a timesheet employee has been assigned a holiday group, you'll need to edit the Public Holiday earnings line in the draft pay run.

AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines
Can we please show multiple annual salary on the payslip if there is more than one ordinary time earnings rates. I would like to show a "secondment wages" line when a person is hired by another firm for one day a week as a breakup on the payslip.
1 voteHi Michelle,
Thanks for sharing this suggestion.I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.
Currently, Xero payslips are optimized to show a single primary annual salary, which can make things a bit confusing for employees working across multiple rates or secondments. Allowing the payslip to break down multiple salary bases would definitely add a lot of clarity for both employers and staff.
I’ve updated the title to "AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines" to help other users with similar needs find and vote for it.
Quick Tip: In the meantime, many users use the "Notes" section on the individual's payslip to manually clarify the secondment rate, though we appreciate an automated solution is the goal!

AU Payroll - Flag negative leave on final pay
When using the final pay function and annual leave is in negative, please flag with a "check with your bookkeeper, accountant or Fair Work before processing negative leave on a final pay." Some business owners are unaware that this may be contravening Fair Work laws.
11 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in. We've now reviewed this idea and have moved it to Gaining Support status. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

AU Payroll - Employee Remuneration - Ability to view date employee last paid
Payroll report (or add field to existing), "date employee last paid".
We have a lot of seasonal adhoc casuals, it would be good to have a column in payroll reports showing the last pay-period they were paid in. We'd use this to off-board employees we haven't paid in a certain period of time (i.e. 12 months). We don't use Xero timesheets, so it can't be done this way.3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the change that matters to you.

Payroll - Add pay run comparative to prior pay run
When processing payroll, be able to see a comparative between current pay run and previous pay run before completion/filing to identify any discrepancies.
110 votesHello everyone, while you can currently export reports to compare pay runs, we understand the value of having this capability built directly into Xero and have been following this idea closely.
For now, AU and UK organisations can use the Payroll Activity Details report for one employee at a time by selecting the relevant date range for the pay periods. To help prevent errors, we recommend checking that employee pay templates are set up correctly, ensuring future pay runs are consistent and accurate.
Although this isn’t on our roadmap at present, we recognise the impact it'd have for customers and will continue to consider it as we plan future payroll enhancements. We’ll share any updates related to payroll comparatives here.

Expense claims - Item field
Xero Expense claims do not provide the field "Item" when submitting an expense claim for small items of inventory purchased infrequently. This means the inventory items purchased via expense claims will not show up on the reports "Inventory Item Details" and "Inventory Item Summary" reports" and a separate reconciliation just on expense claims will need to be run in order to account for the true inventory balance.
3 votesHi Camilla, thanks for your engagement on this idea regarding an item field in expense claims. We know that it's not possible to add an inventory item directly to an expense claim and the current process to track inventory for an expense is to raise a bill instead. 📊 The team is still looking at the best way to address your feedback, and while we can't promise a timeframe just yet, please know that we will be watching this to see how much interest it might generate 👀

NZ Payroll - transition employment basis instead of terminate
It would be great if could change casual employee to permanent without having to terminate the employee first and re-enter all their data and have to remember to delete their email address before adding to them as a new employee. It's especially annoying if they use XeroMe to submit timesheets. Other payroll such as IMS or MYOB don't require employees to be terminated and re-entered if their employment basis changes.

Expenses - Option to submit NIL mileage claim
Allow users to put in mileage claims at a nil rate per mile.
This would allow the invoicing team to pick up mileage to charge to clients that is not claimed by operational staff: for example, where operational staff have a vehicle provided by the company.7 votes -
AU Payroll - Suggestion for improvement: Include 'Description' field in Leave Request report
We use the description field to identify when staff use different types of leave that reduce the PL balance, but require tracking - Moving Days, Wellbeing Days, Special Leave etc. Being able to include these descriptions in the Leave Request report enables us to keep track more efficiently.
