UK Payroll: Timesheets to include start and finish times
It would be super helpful if an employee could enter start and finish times, plus any unpaid breaks, into their timesheet and Xero would calculate the number of hours worked. That way it would be easier for the employer to check what they are approving.

Expenses - Introduce Bulk Actions for Submission and Approval
Bulk Actions for Expenses: Restore Submit/Approve Many. With the retirement of Classic Expenses, a major efficiency feature has been lost: the ability to process expense claims in bulk.
The Problem: Currently, each individual expense claim must be opened, reviewed, and actioned one-by-one. For anyone who needs to approve 20 claims at the end of the week, this is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process. What was once a 30-second task now takes many times longer.
The Solution: Reintroduce checkboxes and a bulk action menu to the expense claims overview screen. This would allow users to:
Select multiple claims.

Xero Expenses - Ability to bulk import Expenses
Problem
The migration to the new Xero Expenses module has created a significant regression in workflow efficiency. Specifically:No bulk entry path exists. Organizations processing high volumes of expenses must manually create each item one-by-one through the new expense form — which is itself slower and more cumbersome than the legacy interface it replaced.
The API is a dead end. Both the Receipts and ExpenseClaims endpoints are marked DEPRECATED, yet no replacement public API has been introduced for the Xero Expenses module. Receipts submitted via the deprecated API don't surface anywhere in the current Expenses UI. This means integrators and…
15 votesThanks for re-raising the idea with us here, Ben. We'll see if this idea gains support from more community users and please do share if there are others that you feel would benefit from this too sop they can add their support.
In terms of the API we have a separate idea forum where these ideas can be raised and experts that are better suited to handle and review these sort of requests.
I've found an idea for an API for the Xero expense feature that you may like to support for this.

AU Payroll - Filter Super payables by employee group
Add Super payment sort function
Could you add a feature that allows sorting by location? Since our employees are spread across multiple locations, this would help us group and process payments more efficiently by location.8 votesHi Cilla, thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.

AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone
AU Payroll - Email auto super code to email address instead of mobile number for overseas travelers who don't always have access to mobile phone
74 votesHi everyone, we just wanted to provide a quick update on this one as the upcoming payday super changes will be top of everyone's minds.
The current approval step is important for both cash flow management and security and the community has also suggested a few different ideas on how to approach this:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify - currently gaining support
If either of these ideas reflects what’d work best for you, please add your vote, to help us get a clearer understanding what matters most to our community.
When we’re through the thick of EOY and initial payday super is rolled out, our product team will circle back around to these ideas to review.

AU Payroll - Allow Withholder Payer Numbers (WPN) for Automatic Superannuation
Clients who are not eligible for an ABN but have a PAYG withholding obligation (e.g. people who employ domestic help) have to register the ATO for a Withholder Payer Number (WPN) so they can deduct and remit PAYG. The SBSCH has enabled super stream for holders of WPNs but that is closing 1 July 2026. Xero STP/Auto Super currently requires an ABN for registration - please make use of a WPN possible.
10 votesThanks so much, Ian, for sharing your idea and highlighting WPN employer's needs to use Xero payroll and our auto super feature.
Your idea is now live for the community to review and support. Feel free to share it with any colleagues who might benefit from it, they can add their vote and help build momentum.

Automatically submit Xero Auto Super payments after each pay run
Businesses using Xero Auto Super have already authorised Xero to direct debit our nominated bank account. Please add an optional setting to automatically create and submit super payment batches when a pay run is posted.
This would support Australia's Payday Super requirements and remove the need for a manual approval every pay cycle.
Suggested setting:
"Automatically submit super payments after posting a pay run."
This should be optional so businesses that prefer manual approval can continue using the existing workflow.
For small businesses with regular weekly payrolls, this would save time and reduce the risk of missing a super payment.

AU Payroll - Calculate and display total hours worked on pay slips
Payslips need to have an option to show total hours paid to employees. Currently it isn't clear at a glance to employees or for auditing that paid hours total worked hours. Having this automatically calculate based on the approved timesheet and tallied at the bottom (alongside the this pay $ perhaps) would be ideal.

Superannuation details and payment export
Allow export of full employee, superannuation fund and amount details for import into superannuation clearing house.
Once Xero has calculated the super payable, it should be possible to import these details direct to the employer's chosen super clearing house rather than having to manually enter, which risks data entry errors.
Users should not be forced to use Xero's super clearing house, however the lack of suitable data export from Xero makes it difficult to efficiently use other clearing houses.6 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

do not update historical payslips
I have noticed across all my clients' Xero books, that when changes are made to employee's profiles (either their Earnings Rate Name or Leave Balances) that this change is then reflected across all their PREVIOUS payslips. I find that concerning because when audits are done or simply references are made to previous pay runs, that the incorrect Earnings Rate Name is shown (although the pay rate of course, remains the same) or that the Leave Balances are capturing the change made later, in earlier payslips. I realise that Leave Transaction Reports can be run, however, a running balance is not…

UK Payroll - Amend employment contract information
Employment Information > Contract Details. I inadvertently ticked the wrong box for one of our Directors and it won't let me amend. You can amend pretty much most things in Xero but not this, and while it doesn't have any impact on the Director's status or pay, it is annoying that I can't amend or delete. It would be good to have this function in place. Or, just don't have it in place for Directors.
23 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts around the ability to amend the contract information. The Contract information is a new addition to the client information section and its great to get feedback on how this is working for our customers.

AU Payroll - Suggestion to separate "Pay Wages" and "Pay Super" buttons in the payment flow
Recently XERO changed the Make Payment Button so that it now contains two payment steps ABA Download, and payment of superanuation. This is great but I am finding that because both processes take you away from the wages screen,(one is to the bank and the other to the SUPER approval process) the work does not flow easily. Is it possible instead to separate the two buttons so we would have PAY WAGES as one button and PAY SUPER as separate buttons?
20 votesHi there and thanks for your feedback.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can gather input from other users, and updated the title to reflect the request for separate buttons.
We appreciate you sharing how this change is affecting your workflow.

AU Payroll Employee Summary - Chg Default & Make Customizable
Payroll Employee Summary currently reports as a default list of employees in alphabetical order when ALL is selected - if more than one employee group the default should be Employee Group/s.
Unless selecting ALL in either Employee or Employee Group, can only report on one individual employee or one employee group at a time (not particularly useful) - Both options should be customizable for multiple selections via a tick box option).
Payroll Employee Summary should also include Qualifying Earnings (new from 1 Jul26) as a reporting category.
Changes are sought for more concise summary reporting/costing of Employee Groups. Superannuation Accrual…

AU Payroll - Calculate the length of service
Under the field "start date" have Xero automatically calculate their total length of service to the current date, and under the field "end date" once an employee is terminated, calculate their total overall service.
This would save the user from needing to manually calculating the service for notice periods, redundancy payments and long service leave in some states.18 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on automatic length of service calculations in AU Payroll.

AU Payroll - Remove 250 payslip history limit in employee record.
The maximum of 250 historic payslips needs to be removed, or an option to turn it on or off in settings.
In legal forensic review work this is imperative.
While you can create a transaction report beyond 250 payslips, this does not provide the ability to identify the actual incorrect inputs by someone historically beyond the 250 limit.
There must be a simple setting in the background you can change or update, as when you add a new payslip, the earliest, previous payslip just drops off.
DO it NOW please.

AU Payroll - Medicare levy surcharge
It would be good for Xero to add a Medicare Levy surcharge option for a percentage in the Taxes tab of employee set-up.
Currently if an employee wants a percentage taken we have to manually adjust each pay run to ensure the correct amount is taken and and reporting to ATO is therefore done correctly.
Leaving something as important as this to human error is not a good idea.11 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding the Medicare levy to AU payroll tax calculations.

UK Payroll - Calculate national minimum wage to 4 decimal places to avoid false positives.
As of this month, Xero is starting to check for national minimum wage for all employees which I am all for.
However it is very annoying to have several employees flagged as not being paid the NMW when it is entirely down to Xero's rounding. See attached screenshot.In this example, an employee gets paid for 6.5 hours at £12.21. Xero pays them £79.36 (rounded down from £79.365).
Xero's own NMW checker then flags this as below NMW because £79.36 is below £79.365.
Please can a check be brought in, that if it is just because of Xero's own rounding,…10 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about NMW calculations and how this is impacted by rounding.

TOIL leave balance hours should be visible on the employee Leave page without having to click into the leave type
