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…61 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 - 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.

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!
15 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 - 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…
181 votesHi everyone, these are the sort of updates I like sharing! This idea has remained top of mind for our product teams - We appreciate all your feedback and how we could improve managing and reviewing employee timesheets in Xero Payroll.
With that I'd like to let you know that 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. 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…

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...31 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 - Select multiple leave types in the Leave Balances report
I would like to be able to select the leave types in the leave balance report. As at today it gives you all leave types in the report. You cannot filter either as it only allows filtering of amount, employee group and units.
7 votesHi team, as you've noted there isn't a way to select multiple specific leave types in the Leave Balances report.
Right now you could run the report for all leave types, and click the leave type column header to sort the leave types together.
From here if you export to Excel you could then delete the rows of the leave types you don't want, and recalculate the totals such as amount.
Alternatively, you can select one leave type at a time and run the report for each required leave type.
We'll keep a track of the volumes of support this idea receives here and share if there are any updates.

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.

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. For example, employee moved from part time to casual and had leave balances zeroed out, or hiding Long Service leave from employees that are accruing but not yet eligible.

AU Payroll - List leave types in alphabetical order
Leave types: why aren't these in alphabetical order on the leave request screen?
I have numbered them so that they should appear in the order I want them, but they appear last. It's the same in Xero Me - I want the most used leave types to appear first, but the leave types appear in a random order.
They are in alphabetical order on an employee's leave balance screen and when you assign a leave type7 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

NZ Payroll - Separate "Post" and "Submit to IRD" actions
Currently, when you connect your Xero login to myIR, Xero automatically files the pay run with the IRD as soon as it is posted. Unfortunately, there is no option to opt out of this automatic filing without disconnecting from myIR entirely.
It would be much more flexible if posting and filing could be done as separate steps. While it's possible to have another user who isn't connected to myIR handle this, small businesses often rely on a single person to manage the entire payroll process.
We would prefer to post the pay run, send payslips, complete banking, and then submit…

AU Payroll - Paid break times

UK Payroll - Choose which leave types employees can select
Unallocated leave. The only leave an employee should be allowed to create is leave that has been allocated to them. Unpaid leave if it has been created is automatically an option for all employees despite them not having it allocated to them. And thus the employees choose that leave which also requires no approval, which should also be a thing, why can employees automatically give themself unpaid leave without manager approval? So 2 changes above that I'd like implemented

AU Payroll - Extend 90 day limit for payment date
Xero Payroll restricts the payment date to no more than 90 days after the end of the payroll period. This isn't a legal or taxation limitation, but does restrict the occassions where clients are paying payroll in less regular intervals (such as paying their entire salary annually).
4 votesHi team, while we appreciate the request here,considering compliance requirements for payroll in AU we want to be upfront that we don't have plans for changing the ability to set the payment date beyond 90 days.
For any employees that you may pay on an annual salary basis, we'd recommend setting the payment date 90 days before the employee's annual pay date.

AU Payroll - Reinstate order of payroll activity summary report
Sometime in the last week, the order in which data is presented in the Payroll Activity Summary report has changed from
- Earnings
- Tax
- Super
- Net payable
- Actual paid
to
- Earnings
- Net payable
- Actual paid
- Super
- TaxPut it back, please, it makes no sense to have something other than Wages less Tax equals Payable. Also reinstate the highlighted total lines in this report and in the Payroll Employee Summary, I'm ashamed to send this to my client with their IAS, it's not readable enough.
The two screenshots I've attached are…

AU Payroll - Leave liability reporting
We cannot see/create leave liability in our reports and/or our balance sheet.
I wonder how a true business value is going to be shown on balance sheet without this liability.To be frank and honest, it is not an idea, but quite basic necessity.
100 votesFirstly, thank you for all the support and detailed input on this idea. We know an automated Leave Liability Report could be a valuable tool for accurately reflecting a business’s financial position in AU Payroll.
While it’s not something we’re planning to build in the immediate future, we’ve seen some useful suggestions from the community, such as using manual journal entries or tracking in spreadsheets, though we recognise these aren’t perfect solutions.
We appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into sharing your feedback. While we’re moving this idea to Not in pipeline for now, we’ll continue to monitor its traction and share any updates if plans change.
