AU Payroll - Button to reverse pay run figures filed with STP
An option to automatically do a reversal of pay run that has been filed with STP as currently there is no option to allow this. I had a pay run today and the client had not let me know that there was a change to their pay run until after it had been lodged with the ATO. I subsequently went to the portal and found that both pay runs had been processed as was out to the actual amount in Xero.

AU Payroll - Include Portable Long Service (BERT/BEWT/ACIRT) on payslips
If this has already been suggested I would like to add in the payroll items an Employer Expense (not a deduction or reimbursement), similar to the way Superannuation is treated, with an expense and liability account. This would account for the BERT & BEWT that is required in the building industry.
79 votesHi team, we appreciate your engagement here and wanted to provide you with an update.
There are many good suggestions shared in this thread on how to currently process this in Xero. Alternatively, you could create a bill to make and track these payments. Employees can then review their balance directly with the scheme provider.
Atm, the changes required to implement this aren’t on our road map, however we’ll continue to monitor the support for this idea. We'll be sure to keep you updated if there are any changes in the future.

AU Payroll - Make multiple draft pay runs
Ability to draft future payruns - ie more than 1 darft payrun. Especially at Christmas time. I would like to draft up future payruns before Igo on leave, but still have the ability to adjust this week payrun for overtime etc. At the moment I can't move forward until I complete current payrun. or i have to do un unscheduled payrun to fix it. Very time consuming

AU Payroll - Show Reimbursement total in pay run overview
When you view a payrun, the breakdown at the top shows: Earnings, Taxes, Superannuation, Net Pay, Status & Payment Date.
When you view the details for any of the employees there is an additional field for Reimbursements at the top of the screen.
It would be great if the reimbursements total was also shown on the pay runs summary screen to quickly review and identify the total.
Especially when the clients run their own payroll and we are just reconciling.7 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Separate Leave Loading from Annual Leave on final pay
If in a 'normal' pay run an employee takes Annual Leave then Leave loading is shown as a separate line item - clear to the payroll person and the employee. However in a Final Pay run it does not show. Being consolidated with the leave sum is not obvious. Please keep to the 'normal' format, then it's clear to everyone

AU Payroll - Make employee groups mandatory
Please give us the option to make Tracking Groups a mandatory selection on the Employee tab before Xero users can save a new employee. This will stop users from setting up new employees & forgetting to assign the Employee Group tracking group which results in misreporting
3 votesHi team, while we appreciate your feedback and why you'd like to make this field mandatory not all businesses use tracking for payroll. We want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for making the employee groups field mandatory.

AU Payroll - Fixed amount leave requests for employees on a monthly salary.
Currently, for monthly employees, Xero does not take into consideration the fact that they have been set up to be paid the same amount each month, therefore the days in the month are meaningless from a pay perspective. Unfortunately, this means that the basis leave accrues on to work out how many hours a public holiday/personal/annual leave day should be when leave is entered is also meaningless. Instead of defaulting to 7.6 (or 8) hours/day leave taken, it does a calculation based on the number of working days in a month. So if someone is being paid on the basis…
44 votesHi everyone, we’ve been following the conversation around how Xero calculates leave request hours for salaried employees. As you’ve mentioned, the current calculation based on the working days in a month isn't hitting the mark for everyone.
We understand some of you would prefer an alternative calculation method and are manually adjusting leave requests so they reflect the exact amount of hours in a day.
While this feature isn't currently on our roadmap, we see the logic in your request. We've shared this idea with the product team and moved it to Accepted. We’ll keep you posted right here if anything evolves.

UK Payroll - move "scheme cease date" box to the HMRC tab
When closing a UK PAYE scheme in Xero Payroll, I struggled to locate the option to end a PAYE Scheme within the system but found guidance in Xero help resources.
I suggest moving the "scheme cease date" box to the "HMRC" Xero Payroll Settings tab for better visibility and less confusion.

AU Payroll - Show number of employee's allowed depending on subscription
Display number of employee's allowed depending on the subscription they're on, in the Employee list screen.
3 votesHi there, we're aware it's been a while since you've raised this case, so wanted to update you. We've reviewed this idea and whilst showing the number of employees allowed directly in the pay run isn't in the pipeline, we can suggest a workaround.
To confirm the number of employees included in a posted pay run within the current calendar month, you can run the Payroll Employee Summary report and filter it by posted date
The pay run’s posted date determines which month it falls under.
It's important to note that the plan limits for employees per month isn't set by the number of active employees, but by the total number of employees paid during the calendar month.
This includes any terminated employees paid during the calendar month and employees that have been included in a pay run with a blank payslip.

UK Payroll - Timesheets for employees on Annual Salary
Overtime needs to be recorded on Timesheets and be included in pay runs for employees on a fixed annual salary.
We've been using Xero for 5+ years. It's brilliant in so many ways, and this basic functionality is missing, or rather, I expect is poorly coded.
We have a number of employees on a fixed, 5 day per week, annual salary, which is divided by 12 to generate their pay every month. However, it's not uncommon for them to work overtime: additional hours here and there and sometimes whole extra days.
Currently, the flaw (I really think this is a…
14 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how important it is for your business to have monthly salaried employees complete timesheets for tracking and reporting purposes, without impacting pay run calculations.
Some of you have found workarounds like approving timesheets after processing pay runs, although this may create challenges down the line.
Our product team is currently undertaking a wider review of timesheets, and this idea will be included in that process. Therefore we're updating this idea to Accepted. We'll keep you updated if there are any developments on this.

AU Payroll - Notify of invalid email addresses
Where payslips are emailed to an email address that is invalid and returns a kick back message.
Xero to forward kick back message or advise Payroll ID that sent emails out of a problem for an employee's email so that invalid email can be investigated and amended.We also use Xero Me for employees however not everyone sets this up on receipt of invite and just prefer to receive email advices.

AU Payroll - Submit child support deductions through STP
Could Xero please introduce the ability to report child support deductions and garnishees via STP reporting to the ATO.
Xero currently does not support reporting of child support deductions through STP Phase 2 with Xero Payroll.
62 votesHi everyone, and thank you for your feedback on reporting child support via Single Touch Payroll (STP).
Xero doesn’t currently support child support reporting through STP. While this isn't in active development at this exact moment, we are reviewing it for potential inclusion in our longer-term roadmap.
For now, we suggest you continue to process child support using an 'Other/None' deduction category and submit the required monthly report to the Child Support registrar manually.
We appreciate your patience and will update you if the status changes.

UK Payroll - Allocate Employers NIC cost to more than one account
A number of my client are service businesses and as such all of the payroll costs should be posted either to a Cost of Sale account for Operational staff or Overhead for support staff. I can achieve this for all costs except for Employer NIC cost, which has to be manually moved. It would be beneficial if the NIC could go to an NIC GL dependent upon the type of basic pay chosen.

AU Payroll - Units and Rates for Reimbursements
If Reimbursements are meant to be used for certain allowances then we need to be able to set up units and unit rates in the same way as we do for allowances, otherwise the calculation becomes a manual one and leaves room for human error. It also means reporting is not clear on how the amount was calculated as even though you can enter a description on the payslip i dont beleive there is a report that summarises this.
ie for overtime meal allowances you should be able to show how many you have paid and at what rate so…4 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.

Payroll: Show employee leave balances when approving leave
When a leave request comes in for approval and the employee can take leave in advance (the box is ticked), it should show you how many hours the employee has available. This amount should be the number available minus the leave balance that has already been approved in the system. The leave balance report is only useful when employees can't take leave in advance in their first year. It's a challenge each time (especially leading up to Christmas) to calculate leave that is available before approving the request because you have to review how much leave has been approved in…
268 votesHi everyone, thanks for voting and your detailed comments on this idea.
We understand the challenge of having to navigate away from the approval screen to find an employee's leave balance. Providing this information directly within the approval screen could streamline the process and reduce the risk of approving leave that results in a negative balance.
The good news is that our product team's reviewed this idea and recognise the value it would deliver. It's something they’d like to work on in the long term. It's not on the roadmap just yet but we'll update you when we're able to bring more focus to this idea.
