UK Payroll - Automatically detect payroll payments during reconciliation
Payroll/Wages Payable Reconciliation
It is quiet difficult in Xero to find out wages payable error done because there is no system of matching wages payment with the payroll journal at the transaction allocation stage.
e.g. as we get the suggestions to allocate a payment received against an invoice, it should be similar with the wages.
If there is any over/under payment it will be detected at the transaction allocation stage as there won't be any matching payroll transaction existing. This feature is there in MYOB. This is the only reason where I find MYOB better than Xero.

NZ Payroll: Reinstate terminated employees after 30 days
Ability in payroll to reinstate terminated employees past the 30 days Xero currently allows. Many businesses have seasonal workers or students who just work holidays, being able to reinstate the employee with all their information would be much easier than having to add them as a new employee every time they are re-employed. Most other payroll systems allow reinstatement of terminated employees.

I would like to pay my employees for a specific period:-
example 17 October to 26 October and would like to reflect these exact dates on the payslip. It would be great if I could to customise the dates within a pay calendar?

UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.

Expenses: Option to change default from company to personal
We have a lot of personal expenses (reimburseable) and no company expenses within our business - when employees input their expenses it defaults to company money.
Occasionally these slip through the net and aren't changed prior to approval.
Can we switch off 'company money' in expenses - or can we set 'personal spend' to be the default option?

AU Payroll - Seperate leave loading rates for weekends
Add the option for differing annual leave allowances (weekend rates) that deduct from the overall annual leave accrual.
Currently the workaround Xero has advised is setting up a "weekend annual leave" leave type with the correct leave loading for weekends and manually adjusting the leave accrual.
Alternatively, a possible solution is adding an allowance leave type "O" for reporting.

Expense Claims - Edit once approved
Ability to edit expense code and tracking code after approval and payment.
This is to make up for there being no data validation capability for coding.
The workaround is to run the Account Transactions report and run 'query tests' in Excel.
Once the errors are found, you go back and edit the transactions for missing tracking codes, etc.
With Expenses there is no ability to subsequently edit the transaction, though whihc measn you need to create journals which is inefficient and hard to audit.10 votes -
Expense Claims - Option to adjust the tax amount
Possible to manually adjust the tax amount on the submitted expense claims?
The tax amount is not adjustable to match the actual tax amount reflected on bills/receipt especially for decimal difference.6 votes -
AU Payroll - Ability to pay an overseas foreign resident employee
we will have an overseas employee (from NZ) joining our australian company. In payroll I can put under Taxes the status Foreign Resident but not his address in NZ. I find this very restrictive to only be able to choose a State in Aus and no overseas addresses. Anybody an idea how to circumnavigate this without having to find some additional app to connect with Xero as was suggested by Xero Support.

Expenses - Create Expense Claims from bank reconciliation screen
When using debit cards, we get transactions posted into the bank account before a card holder completes their expense claim. Or forgets to!
From the bank account reconciliation screen, I would like to be able to send a transaction into expenses for the card holder to complete then expense claim process. The transaction should appear in their draft expenses.3 votes -
AU Payroll - Reports for Timesheet Approver
As an approver of timesheets i see there are couple of issues which can make the process water tight.
1.Ability to see approved time sheets (siimilar to leaves). Currently once the timesheet is approved for an individual there is no way to check what has been approved
2.Ability to run a report for all employees that have been approved or alternatively ability to allow access to certain reports to the approver.

AU Payroll - Tracking Categories for Annual & Sick Leave reporting
In order to monitor expenses by venue, tracking categories in Payroll - giving staff the ability to log their time worked by venue - makes total sense. However, when staff take A/L or S/L, there is no ability to use a tracking category, so all these transactions go to the default 'unassigned'. The time involved in searching what makes up this 'unassigned' amount in a payroll of 35+ employees across 9 venues is astonishingly time-consuming, yet vital to the overall expense reports. Would love to have some time and effort put into this issue please Xero.

GL Payrun - Bulk upload payroll details
Hello,
I wanted to take a moment to share a suggestion that I believe could significantly simplify our payroll process. It involves the implementation of a bulk upload feature, which would allow us to handle payroll data in a more efficient manner. We will need a template that contains essential details for each employee. These details may include the employee's name, rate of salary, and various pay items relevant to their compensation. This would reduce the time and effort invested in processing payroll.
Thank you,Best regards,
4 votesThank you for sharing and engaging with us about this on Product Ideas, team. While we understand wanting to see developments, as you may have recently read - We’ve been offering Pay Run to our Global Edition customers since 2011 to provide basic payroll functionality. However, over the years, we’ve focused our efforts on making solutions available which offer enhanced features and a deeper integration with the Xero platform, such as Xero payroll in AU, NZ and UK, we've also seen newer payroll solutions in regions available through the Xero App Store (such as Gusto in US).
With this focus, 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…

AU Payroll - Filter superannuation payments screen
Multi select or more filter options when processing superannuation payments. This would expediate processing super payments for large employers. For example, you should be able to filter the super payment to show only last month super and select all and submit for payment. At the moment, if we want to process the previous month's super, we have to manually unselect each employee super that relates to the next month or quarter that we aren't required to pay yet.

Xero Expenses - Create receipt from body of email
I would like to be able to forward receipts I have received via email which are NOT attachments, but are inline / html receipts, and have Xero read them, like Expensify can.
I waste so much time receiving emailed receipts (BPME for example) which I then have to save as a PDF and forward / upload.
20 votesHi James, to clarify would this be when using Xero Expenses app to submit receipts or when emailing bills to your organisation? Thanks

AU Payroll | Employee - Add multiple email addresses
Add a second email address for an employee, for their payslips to be sent too - i.e. if payslips need to be sent to an employment agency each pay run, their email address can be added and payslips automatically sent here each pay run, rather than manually downloading payslips to send outside of Xero.
