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)

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 - Add hours for Public Holiday when using timesheets.
Add default hours for Public Holiday's based on the employee's standard work pattern.
10 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 - 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…

AU Payroll | Employee - View employment duration date below start date
The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.
Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.
Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.
Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a…

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 - 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.

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.
119 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.

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.8 votes -
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!

NZ Payroll - Copy timesheet tracking
It would be great if we could copy timesheet tracking each week. We have a client that has extensive tracking for timesheets - with some employees having time tracked to a number of different tracking codes. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to save the tracking for each employee so we do not need to enter it each payrun.

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.

AU Payroll - Option for Weekly PAYG Withholding period
Ability to change our PAYG Withholding period to weekly. Only options are None, Monthly or Quarterly. The ATO requires we lodge and pay PAYGW weekly now and this is not possible in Xero. We have to change our PAYGW period to None so that it does not show on the BAS and manually calculate, lodge and pay this weekly.
42 votesHello everyone, we appreciate you engaging with us about this topic. To clarify, we acknowledge support in this idea has arisen from a new requirement from the ATO that means large orgs that withhold over $1M annually to submit PAYGW weekly via STP.
While we appreciate why you'd like to automate this flow of information from Payroll to BAS within Xero there are two current options;
- Within Payroll settings you could untick “Reportable as W1 on Activity Statement” so your payroll data is not included in BAS, or
- Manually remove the W1 and W2 figures from your Activity Statement to lodge activity statements for clients that are submitting weekly PAYGW.
This idea is on our product teams radar, however we want to be upfront that at this stage we don't have any plans for developing an automation of these fields.
We'll continue to monitor this idea closely, and share if…

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 👀

Xero Me - Add detail to notifications
Xero permissions are all or nothing - you either have access to timesheets and expenses or you don't. As such, you get a lot of notifications about things that aren't yours to deal with. It would be good to have a little more detail in notifications, for example; "There is a new expense from Robert Smith to review" so you know if it's relevant to you or not
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea here, Sophie. Atm our product team are working on a few changes for expense notifications - Once live there will be a few different scenarios for notifications
- When an expense is submitted users with the admin or approver role will receive an email notification that an expense is awaiting approval
- When an expense is approved or declined the user that submitted the expense will receive an email notification
- Users will no longer receive notifications when they take an action on their own expense
I'll let you know once these changes have been rolled out. But if there are other specifics in the notifications that you'd find helpful it would be good to hear these, too.

AU Payroll - Warning when TFN not entered
When an employee onboards and doesn't have a Tax File Number (TFN) either because they are new to Australia and have just applied for one or they are under 18 and exempt. Xero should have a feature that warns you when they either turn 18 or they have passed the 28 days allowed to work without a TFN and it should automatically change their tax declaration to no TFN provided and change the tax withheld rate, until a TFN is provided. There also needs to be a constant warning in each pay run, 'this person is over 18 and does…

AU Payroll - Ability to pay staff with joint bank account in same pay run
Please enable the ability to pay staff with a joint bank account in same pay run. We currently have to pay two couples with a joint bank account into separate accounts each run. Xero does not permit two payments into the same bank account in one pay run. I have confirmed with our bank that this is not an error on their end. Xero support have informed me that this is not a function that Xero currently offers.
