AU Payroll - Filter Leave Balance report by employment status
Has support considered the option to filter the leave balance report by employment status? When generating this report all employees are listed or only an individual employee. Why would we need the current balance of leave for terminated employees? I have some employees who have returned, so both are listed but I don't know which is active until I run the report on each.

AU Payroll - Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify
I need to be able to approve super when I am travelling and do not have access to text messages. It is most inflexible that there is only one method for doing this! Can the Xero Verify App not be used for auto super approvals too? Then I only need wifi.
Or, can text be received to whatsapp instead?
79 votesHiya team, popping in with an update with payday super changes at the front of everyone's mind.
While we’re continuing to monitor interest in this idea, we don’t have any plans at this stage to change how Xero Verify works to include authorising Super payments.
We appreciate feedback on alternative ways to authorise and wanted to share other ideas you may have interest in supporting and staying updated on:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone - currently gaining support

AU Payroll - Ability to set a default view for timesheet list
Currently when opening the TIMESHEETS page the order of the timesheets is very random (example attached).
The most common reason for visiting this page is to view and approved/reject timesheets so It'd be very helpful for us when we do open this page that the most recent timesheets awaiting approval are at the top.
Currently we have to click on the 'Last Edited' column header to get the most recent time sheets.
Can we please have this page DEFAULT set up to accommodate most recent date at the top (example attached).
Please join me in my campaign to have this…64 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on having timesheets displayed in order from newest to oldest, by default. We appreciate you taking the time to explain how this impacts your workflow.
We know some of you have been filtering date ranges as a workaround, though this adds extra steps.
We're updating this idea to Accepted as part of wider timesheet updates which are currently being investigated by our product team. We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

AU Payroll - Warning or prevent adding second SGC line to a pay template
When adding second line items in super. If (I did this so I know it is easy) you add a second SGC line for a fixed amount as well as a statutory amount it would be great if xero asked a warning question 'are you sure you want to add a second SGC contribution. OR if just isn't allowed. My understanding is a employer additional contribution would be the correct line item if employer and salary sacrificing if employee (pre or post tax). This will avoid an accidental overpayment of SGC.

AU Payroll - Superannuation end of quarter reminder
Would be great if Xero could trigger an automated (email and/or text) reminder to the superannuation payment approver 10, 5 and one days out from the superannuation due date each quarter.
A similar reminder feature already exists in XPM for Activity Statement Lodgements - reminders can be turned on.
Xero also has the ability to automate reminders to Customers around bill payment.
Xero has the email and SMS of the superannaution approver already on file.
Advantage of these reminders:
Super gets paid on time - we're all human and life can take over and sometimes things get missed - a…
184 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! With Payday Super legislation now active, superannuation contributions align directly with regular pay runs. Because of this shift to real-time processing, quarterly due date reminders are no longer necessary.
To assist with compliance under the new legislation, we have added reminder prompts directly to the super payment page to highlight which accruals are at risk of being late.
As a result, we won't be moving forward with quarterly reminder updates for this request. We really appreciate everyone’s feedback on this topic, please continue to share your ideas on how we can keep improving your Xero experience!

UK Payroll - Change employee regular earnings in draft pay run
Payroll:
Allow changes to employees' regular earnings details even when a draft pay run is in progress. If an employee's rate needs to be changed, they should be unticked or deselected in the draft pay run.
Currently, the entire pay run needs to be deleted, even if only one out of fifty employees needs a rate change, doubling the time spent on preparing the pay run. All calculations for overtime, leave, reimbursements, and deductions will need to be redone.
Hopefully, this can be considered.
Thanks!
16 votesHi Tracy, thanks for submitting your idea on updating an employee's earnings without needing to delete the whole draft pay run. We understand excluding the employee temporarily would save time.

AU Payroll - Leave Request emails to show Organisation Name
Leave Request emails to show Organisation Name.
Currently, leave requests that come directly from Xero for an employee does not show which organisation the employee is from.
I have multiple businesses that I have payroll access and it is quite hard to recall all staff names from all businesses.
The subject line should show Jane Doh from XYZ Pty Ltd has requested leave. This would make identifying the company much simpler.5 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

UK Payroll - Unscheduled pay run in advance should only stop updates to staff included in the run.
UK Payroll - when an unscheduled pay run has been posted for a period it stops any updates to salaries even when a full payroll hasn't been posted. It makes sense that a full run would stop updates but only people included in an unscheduled pay run should be barred from having updates applied. For instance, with an unscheduled run posted I can't adjust starting dates or salaries for staff, and these may have changed after the unscheduled run was posted.

AU Payroll - Set default leave types (paid out/not paid out)
Currently, when you assign a leave type to a new employee, for all leave types other than annual leave and personal leave you have to go into that leave type on the employee card and manually change the leave settings to what should be the default for all employees. For example, RDOs should always be paid out on cessation of employment, but the default setting is "not paid out", and I cannot change the default setting, only each individual's settings.
I should be able to set what the default settings are, to reduce the likelihood of stuffing it up.

AU Payroll - Ability for Business Owner/Payroll Manager to view & complete draft timesheets
We want to be able to open and complete the employees draft timesheet, if it has already been started. We have enough to do without starting again from scratch what the employee may have already done but just not clicked the submit button.
It is idiotic that, as the owner and payroll manager, that we cannot see an employee's draft timesheets.
As the business owner and Payroll Admin, we should:
- not have compromise our recordkeeping by putting hours directly into the pay slip.
- not have to rely on our employees being available to correct the timesheet at any point in…

NZ Payroll - Turn off notification for employee bank accounts change
There needs to be a feature to turn off automatic notifications when an employee changes their bank account,
Every time this changes in our system our Accountant gets an email.
Apparently there is currently no way to turn this feature off.
A bit irritating for him to say the least...32 votesHi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement on this idea. We want to be upfront that there is currently no planned work to modify bank account notifications.
The current setup is in place as a critical layer of security. We understand this means all payroll admin are notified of bank account changes, but maintaining robust security remains a top priority.
Although it isn’t on our immediate roadmap, we will keep monitoring your feedback and use cases, and we’ll update this thread if things change.

AU Payroll - Hide Leave Balances on payslip for selected employees
It would be good if you could hide leave balances on individual employee payslips. The hide/show leave balances on payslips is a global setting applying to all employees.

Xero Accounting app | Bank Reconciliation - Ability to add an expense as 'common expenses'.
"Common Expenses" - fix product flaw.
In Xero app, as follows:
-Purchases
- +
-Add receipt
-Tap:Categorise to an acct
-acct list pops up with heading "Common expenses". 2 accts listed which I rarely use.
PLEASE FIX : there is no way to edit the list of accts under the heading at the top "common expenses". See my screen shot2 votesHi Tim, apologies for not returning to you here sooner! The Common expenses list in in the Xero Accounting app is auto-generated from your org’s chart of accounts, based on which expense accounts you’ve actually used when creating receipts/spend money in the app.
It’s effectively a shortcut of your most-used expense accounts. Atm there’s no way to manually edit or reset that list so we'll continue to keep a track on your idea here and share if there is any change planned.
