AU Payroll - Add new super funds from employee profile
When adding a new employee record, allow me to 'create new superannuation' during the process of creating their new record. Currently when adding a new employee record, I need to navigate away from the employee record to 'Settings > Payroll Settings > Superannuation' to add a new superannuation relationship. On the new employee record, when the pop up appears for superannuation, if you could add a spot to say 'Create New relationship' or something under the employee record - I'll buy you a beer.

AU Payroll: Control default 'Timesheet type' for employees
Set the default time method for timesheets.
Allow the payroll admin to set the default method for all employees to capture the timesheet details. EG set all employees to use only the time in and time out method not the hours method.
23 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago, so just wanted to touch base with an update. This idea isn't something our product team have plans for in the near future. However they'll continue monitoring this idea and we'll reach out if the idea is added to the product road map in the future.

UK Payroll - Ability to process prior year employment allowance claims through Xero payroll
At the moment this isn't an available feature, and HMRCs basic PAYE tools need to be used. It would be good to see this as an option in Xero.
128 votesHi everyone, thanks for all of your engagement with this idea. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on being able to claim previous year's employment allowances in Xero.
We understand this would save time and provide a more complete payroll solution.
As noted by others in this thread, the current workaround is to process prior year claims using HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools.
We've reviewed our upcoming development roadmap, and at this time building the functionality to process prior year Employment Allowance claims is not in our immediate pipeline.
We will keep this idea under consideration for future development, and should our plans change, we will provide an update here.

Expenses - Link Employee to Contact
Since we ultimately want to see how much each employee is spending and since employees must be set up as a contact - We should be able to link the employees User Id to their contact. This way all the expenses submitted will show up as spend money transactions under the contact for each employee.
Obviously right now the employee could choose themselves as the contact when they submit the expense report but more often than not, they will not.
Having the contact linked to the user id will be particularly helpful for reconciling credit cards since the contact info…

AU Payroll - Allow allowances to contribute towards other leave rates
With separating the All purpose allowances. Is there going to be a selection for SICK LEAVE and RDO in the future? (Currently Contributes to Annual and Overtime) only. There is a lot of room for error when you have 50 employees and you have manually adjusted the rate for every single employee!! I'm sure we are not the only company that has RDO and Sick Leave where the all-purpose allowances need to be included in the base rate. Could you please Add this option to the allowances pay item. We are unable to continue with STIP Phase 2 unless this…

AU Payroll - Accrue Leave on Multiple Earnings Rate in Payroll
Streamlining " Multiple of Employee's Ordinary Earnings Rate" .
I have a client who has 14 employees and 4 Ordinary Earnings Rate for each employee as their business trades 7 days a week. Each Employee is on a different Ordinary Earnings Rate. The current system on Xero requires you to create and select Multiple of employees ordinary earnings rate in the payroll settings and calculate and enter the multiplier % for each earnings rate for each employee in order for the ordinary earnings rate to be calculated and for the annual leave and carers/personal leave to be calculated. This is…104 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important accurate leave accruals are for managing payroll when employees work at different rates across various days or departments.
While we aren't able to add this to our roadmap right now, we want to make sure you are aware that it is currently possible to set up leave to accrue on more than one earnings rate.
As mentioned in this thread, the key is to set the Rate Type for these additional items to "Multiple of Employee's Ordinary Earnings Rate".
Please refer to our support article Set up overtime or earnings that accrue leave for a guide on how to do this. We'll keep this thread active for future feedback.

AU Payroll | Employee - Field for Employee Number
Include a new field in Payroll Employee data with employee number. Employees will have a unique identifier in Xero. For any new employees, Xero will generate a unique number.
78 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on adding employee numbers to employee records.
Currently Xero uses unique identifiers for employees which are included in STP files sent to the ATO, however there’s currently no ability to add employee numbers to employment records.
After reviewing with our product team, this feature isn't currently on our roadmap so we'll update the status to 'Not in Pipeline'. As an alternative, payroll admins can use the Notes section or adapt an existing field in the employees record to assist with identifying employees.
Whilst we understand this may not be the outcome you’d hoped for, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback to help shape Xero.

Xero Expenses - Ability to edit exchange rate
"As an employee submitting my expenses I don't want to be left out of pocket because Xero Expenses doesn't allow me to set the exchange rate I was charged by my bank."
Xero Expenses uses XE.com exchange rates for foreign currency exchange rates and it's not possible to override/change this.
It should be possible for the employee, or approver, to manually set the foreign and domestic currency amounts, or set the exchange rate itself.
43 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know that you would like to be able to enter your own exchange rate for your expenses.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

AU Payroll - Ability to export and import pay items and rates
Ability to export pay items and update pay rates in a spreadsheet and then re-import when pay rates have been updated. Would save so much time each year when Fair Work increases pay rates.
80 votesThanks to everyone following this idea. We understand how being able to import and export pay items would positively impact your review processes.
Though this isn’t currently in the roadmap, we see the value this’d bring in regards to pay award updates. We’ve updated the idea status to accepted and we’ll share any future developments, here. Your input in idea’s is always appreciated.

Expenses: Option to disable mileage claims
Turn off the mileage claims option in the Expense Settings .. currently one cannot do this ... we have never used this option, and it's a pain when we use the Xero expenses app as it adds another layer to inputting an expense.

Timesheets: Daily approvals
Weekly Payroll calendars and get paid monthly.
It would be advantageous if timesheets can be submitted daily and approved daily.
Reason: approved cannot remember hours staff worked last 30 days. approver has to make a note of hours and then refer to notes when approving timesheets submitted.46 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

Global Payroll - Support for multi currency payroll
Suggestions:
The Payroll /Or Payrun system can also be currency optional
Companies are becoming more international. The online office model is not limited to the workplace, and salaries will be paid in different currencies. This is probably going to be a trend.
12 votesWe appreciate the input and interest this idea has received overtime. However as you may have recently received word - We’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
This also means that we don't have any plans for further development of our Global Pay Run product, and will move any ideas related to this on this site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements,…

Xero Expenses - Combine Expenses into a single claim
Currently Xero Expenses creates a single expense claim for each individual item.
Normal practice for an expense claim is it contains multiple lines (different expenses), such as parking, a restaurant bill and a hotel.I would like to have the ability to group individual expense lines into one expense claim.
I would then have a single bill to pay (an expense claim with multiple lines) appear in my Bills to pay, rather than one for each line.
125 votesHey community, thanks for your detailed feedback on combining expenses into a single claim.
We recognise the value in creating a more streamlined process for submitting and approving multiple expenses, especially for events like business travel.
Our product team are currently reviewing this functionality and are in an initial discovery phase, but it isn’t set in their product roadmap yet. We’ve moved the status to In Discovery to reflect this.
We’re continuing to monitor feedback on this idea and will keep you updated.

AU Payroll | Leave - Multiple approvers
Would really like the option to have a second layer to approve leave. I am a HR Manager and find it hard when the manager approves leave verbally and I do not get notified until later. I would like to see the option for HR or Finance to get a notification or get the option to approve prior to the manager so we can manage the employee leave status.
13 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. Sending leave to multiple approvers isn't something we have plans for in the near term, so we've moved the status to Not in Pipeline. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.
If gaining visibility over upcoming leave is important to your organisation however, we can point you in the direction of another Xero Product Ideas that our product team are currently looking into:
AU Payroll - Permission - Function to allow leave authorisers to view Leave Calendar

AU Payroll - Ability to remove leave types incorrectly assigned
Need to be able to remove a leave type for employees. Ie an employee is entitled to 4 weeks annual leave p.a.. They have renegotiated their contract and are now entitled to 5 weeks AL p.a. I've set up a new leave type to accrue 5 weeks p.a. for this employee and asked that they use this option when submitting future requests. I have changed the AL 4 week code to No Calculation for this employee, however it still appears as an option when they request leave. I would like to remove this as an option because they continually inadvertently…
21 votesThanks for taking the time to share this idea about being able to remove leave categories that are no longer used or were assigned incorrectly.
At the moment, there isn’t a way to fully archive or delete a leave type. If the leave type has never been used for that employee, you can remove it from their record. If the leave type has been used or has a balance, you’ll need to edit the balance and stop it from accruing going forward.

Xero Expenses - Ability to combine multiple photos to one receipt
Be able to take more than one photo on the phone app and combine to one receipt, to be used for multiple page receipts or long receipts that do not fit into the one photo
81 votesHi everyone, thanks for your detailed feedback on combining multiple images to a single receipt.
We are changing the status of this idea to In Discovery.
This means our Product team has recognised that combining multiple images for a receipt will be a more streamlined process for expenses, especially for events like business travel and is the initial scoping phase, but haven’t got to the point where it’s on their road map.
We will continue to track your votes and comments as we progress, and we will update you all once we know more.

AU Payroll - Shearers tax scale
Currently you are able to select the tax scale Horticultural/Shearers but there is no default tax rate attached. Apparently if employee falls under this scale you need to select for reporting to ATO which means you have to then manually calculate tax when you do the pays which is not possible if you have multiple employees knowing which employee wants what rate as they all do not use the default. This also leads to errors if not picked up it doesnt calculate automatically. May I suggest that we urgently attention to have the default ATO tax scale rate included with…
