Expenses - Allow filtering and sorting of expense claims by payment method
Is it possible to create a filter by credit card, we have staff with credit cards and Amex, currently all expenses a mixed together and you cannot see what has been uploaded for the individual cards.
2 votesThanks for raising this suggestion. Being able to filter expense claims by credit card could make it quicker to review transactions, particularly if you're reconciling multiple company cards or reviewing specific card activity.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share more about what other filters will be useful.

Payroll AU: entering minutes on pay runs
Be able to enter time on pay runs as minutes eg (0:35) or as decimals (0.5833)
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding minutes to pay runs! If your employees aren't already using timesheets, they can submit them using hours and minutes. For example, if an employee logs 7 hours and 35 minutes, Xero will automatically calculate this as 7.583 hours in the pay run.
Now that your idea is live, it’s up to the community to support it! Be sure to share it with colleagues who might benefit so they can add their vote. Other members can also leave comments to share how this feature would improve their experience with Xero.

UK Payroll - report to include employee bank details
UK Payroll report to include employee bank details - would like a report to run employee contact details which lists existing bank details
22 votesHi Joanne, thanks so much for all your feedback and comments on this idea. We totally get how handy it’d be to have a report in Xero UK Payroll that includes employee bank details.
Not having something like this can definitely add extra work and hassle—especially when you need to send bank info to a third party or double-check payments.
Right now, the idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, which means we’re keeping a close eye on how many people are voting and sharing their thoughts. The more input we get, the easier it is for us to understand how important this is and where it might sit in our list of priorities.

Payroll AU - Auto Super: Move the "Mark as Paid" button
Is it possible to move the "Mark As Paid" button in the Super - Several times I have nearly clicked on this inadvertently when I am busy or going to answer the phone when I am processing this😮
2 votesI just wanted to provide a quick update on this idea.
We’ve recently made an update to the Mark as Paid flow to help prevent accidental clicks. An additional warning message now prompts you to re-confirm before completing the action.
We’ll continue to track support for this request. Make sure to share this page with any colleagues so that more feedback on this topic can be captured!

UK Payroll - Option to download RTI files in excel format
i have a query to resolve with HMRC regarding the difference between what is showing on our P32 and what payments they have taken/ FPS file received.
It would be useful if I could see a full breakdown of each employees details that are submitted in the FPS in excel format as the current XML is not easily legible

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…10 votesThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").

AU Payroll - Ability to apply work patterns to part time employees
Suggest the ability to apply work patterns to part time employees. For example, we have a part time employee who works 7 hours on Mon, 6 hours on Tues and 6 hours on Wed.
At the moment, if a Public Holiday falls on a Monday, it does not correctly work out hours worked.
The same happens if Annual Leave is taken; incorrect hours are calculated which affects AL accruals.
Hours worked have to be calculated and added manually.341 votesHi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback about managing working patterns for part-time employees.
We’re pleased to share that we plan to begin rolling out working patterns in AU Payroll later this year.
The first release will allow you to set a one-week work pattern for each employee. This pattern will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run. At this stage, you’ll still need to update the employee’s pay template separately to reflect their standard working hours.
We plan to build on this foundation by connecting working patterns with standard hours in the pay run and supporting a broader range of working patterns. We’ll share more details as the first release gets closer.

Payroll NZ: Ability to generate Employee Information Report
The report can show a list of all current employees includes basic info e.g. DOB, Gender, employment start date, job title, Annual Salary Amount, fixed allowances, Super rate etc.; This report will be helpful for internal HR reporting purpose. Otherwise, HR will need to collect info piece by piece & summarize it manually.
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea about a New Zealand payroll report that includes full employee details as well as earnings information.

AU Payroll - Add a link from timesheets that takes users back to the draft pay run

AU Payroll - Add additional Payroll employee for a charge
Please allow adding on an extra employee for payroll in Australia, as is possible in the UK.
The Ignite plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add an extra employee means paying more than double, which is cost prohibitive.
Most businesses don't need the add on and accounting tools when you move up to Grow or Comprehensive - allowing for an extra payroll add on for a small charge, would be beneficial for family and small businesses.18 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting how important flexible payroll options are for your business.
We understand that needing to upgrade your plan just to add a few more employees can feel limiting—especially for growing businesses. Being able to add employees on a per-user basis could offer a more cost-effective and flexible solution.
We’ve reviewed your idea, and now it’s over to the community to get involved. If this would benefit others you know, feel free to share it so they can add their vote too.

Bill Payments - Pay Items Order
Put Pay items in alphabetic order. Why has this changed in the first place and why is it not possible to fix? When you need numerous pay items for different areas and times of the day it is SO time consuming to have to scroll through every item to find the one you need. And they there are a lot that are similar so you have to concentrate on exactly what you need. This is such a VERY basic need, I can't believe it's not fied back to what it was a month ago.

We have moved this to Gaining Support and encourage you to reach out to colleagues and friends to vote and/or comment so our Product team can gauge interest.

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Ireland
It would be great if Xero was able to handle payroll services for Ireland. Available already for other regions.
3 votesHey all, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Ireland. Being upfront, we don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions. We will move the idea to Not in pipeline.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their app store listings to see which is the right fit for your business.

Expenses - make Customer field searchable in Xero Me app
The customer field box really needs a search bar. Having to scroll through 500 customers is very tiresome. There should be a search bar for every field to be honest. It does exist on the browser version, but not the app version.

Payroll AU: Standalone pay calculation tool within Xero
It would be extremely useful to have a standalone pay calculation tool within Xero Payroll that allows users to preview an employee’s pay calculation without needing to create a draft pay run.
This tool could show wages, PAYG withholding, superannuation, net pay, earnings types, and multiplier calculations in one clear view.
This would allow payroll users, accountants, and bookkeepers to quickly confirm that employee pay templates are set up correctly, verify award rates, overtime, allowances, and changes, and confidently review calculations with clients before processing payroll.
It would reduce unnecessary draft pay runs, improve efficiency, and help prevent payroll errors.

Payroll AU: Archive pay runs over data retention period
Ability to Archive Old Payruns - I have a screen that is clogged up with payruns for long since departed employees and associated payruns from 10 years ago.

Add the ability to create more than ten bills
Now again you are making functions harder for small companies. Not every needs multi employee expense claims. You are now removing the classic expense claims, and your suggestion is to raise a bill for each expense. I assume you will now remove the 10 bills cap on the base subscription? I cannot justify jumping up a subscription level, when it's just me requiring simple tools.

UK Payroll - option to bulk include/exclude all Employees from pay run.
For catering companies, or any business with many employees or recurring weekly staff, payroll can become stressful and very time-consuming. This is because all employees need to be unticked before running payroll for only those who actually worked in that specific week. Other companies face the same issue as well. Is there any shortcut to untick all employees at once before preparing payroll for the employees who actually worked in that week?
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes and comments on this idea. It’s clear that a simple 'Untick All' option when creating a pay run would save you a lot of time. We understand that manually deselecting employees one by one is time consuming, especially for those who have a large number of employees but only need to process a pay run for a few. We will keep this idea updated as we move through any design and development phases.
