  2. A simple payroll report that shows the actual wages for a period for reporting for Workers Compensation as it is a legal requirement for AU businesses. Details would be split into wages paid including super, with the residency status (+country of origin for Working Holiday Makers) - with a split if an employee has changed employment basis (i.e., moved from Casual to FT) in the period.
    And any additional details that are required by the majority of insurance companies who handle Workers Comp.

  3. Currently AutoSuper is not working if one has a Wise AUD bank account.
    This would be highly advantageous for those that run their business entirely through Wise and don't use an Australian local bank.

    Thanks for sharing your idea!

    I wanted to let you know that it is possible to use Wise accounts for auto super payments; however, if the Wise base account is not the AU-specific account, the format will not follow the standard requirement of: BSB 000-000, Account 00000000.

  4. When you go to enter a leave request manually (not employee entered), if you select the dates first, and then realise 'oh I meant this to be sick leave, not annual leave' and change the leave type, the dates 'reset' to current date, and don't retain the information you've already entered.

    This means you can accidentally enter an incorrectly dated leave request, having done all the hard work of calculating the hours and dates, then realised at the last second that the 'type' of leave is wrong - everything resets!

    I don't always work top-down, I want my work to…

  5. In "Expense claim settings" you can select from the chart of accounts which are available in expense claims, and there is a separate list for mileage claims. I would like to be able to customise these lists by user, or better still to be able to create user roles and assign customised account lists to each role. This is to prevent people submitting expenses against accounts that are irrelevant to them, and to simplify the expense entry process.

  7. It will be great to have meaningful payroll reports. E.g., the leave overview is a blunt tool, as it shows all employees, including those who have left. The same applies to the Auto Enrolment Summary Report - it is a basic on-screen report with no filters, etc. And, yes, includes historical employees. Where there are filters, these overlook some choices which should be present. E.g., wage type, which payroll runs are they- monthly, quarterly, weekly, etc

  8. Simplify and automate worksafe remuneration reporting. This shouldn't be as painful as it is. Especially difficult when needing to deduct non reportable wages for apprentices , or part thereof when they begin or end apprenticeships midway through a financial year.

  9. To whom it may concern, my post is not an idea but rather a request for you to consider extending your UK based XERO product to jurisdictions where UK accounting practices have been adopted and reporting currency is GBP.

    I am an AAT qualified accountant of approximately 30 years. I trained at Ernst & Young in Gibraltar then moved to BDO before settling as the accountant at a local Gibraltar private school where I have been for the past 15+ years. We use SAGE and have done for 15+ years to manage the school accounts. Alongside this role I served…

    Hi team, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Gibraltar. Being upfront, we don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions, and will move the idea to Not in pipeline to set the expectation here.

    You will still be able to vote here so it'd be good to still understand if there is wider interest.

    If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their app store listings to see which is the right fit for your business.

  10. It would assist us if the Leave Accrued Report could also show the employee's start date. Long Service Leave is only applicable to staff from the 5 or 10 year mark for us in NSW but to ascertain whether staff are eligible for it is requiring external spreadsheets that have to be manually adjusted each month. Xero already has the functionality to enable this so it can't be hard to action.

  11. PAYSLIP NOTES - move to top of payslip! No-one reads the very bottom of their payslip! Notes are likely to be the most important information on that document, so show it first.

  13. Adding a feature in Xero that allows finance admins to designate specific fields on expense claims as mandatory or optional would ensure consistent data entry, improve financial tracking, and streamline the approval process.

    Key Benefits:

    Enhanced Compliance: By making certain fields mandatory, such as business function or event tracking, admins can ensure that all necessary information is provided, reducing the risk of incomplete or incorrect submissions.

    Improved Data Accuracy: Mandating specific fields ensures that critical data, like cost centers or project codes, are always captured, leading to more precise financial tracking and reporting.

    Flexibility: Different organizations or departments may have…

  16. 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?

  18. 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.
