Upload receipt
Xero Me - Company credit card receipts
One thing that MYOB did very well with their MYOB Assist app was the ability to Capture a Receipt. Take a photo, and it was added to Uploads to be matched to a transaction.
We do not use expense claims. Credit card transactions are reconciled daily, same as bank accounts.
In the Xero Me app, add a Capture a Receipt function, that will add the receipt to either Draft Bills, or Awaiting Approval.

PAYROLL Calculator
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.

Sub Leave Categories for Personal Leave
As our employees are only allowed a certain number of personal leave days without providing evidence, it would be great to be able to add sub leave types under the personal leave type that still reduces the overall accrual for Personal Leave but tracks how many hours/days they have taken without evidence. This is currently all done manually in a spreadsheet.

archive payrun
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. Their employee files have been archived but the payruns still show up in the list. It is crowded and cumbersome. Please add the ability to archive in bulk please Xero?

AU Payroll | Notification for employee turning 18 to request superfund
Can you implement a notification sent to payroll admin in advance of a team member turning 18, so we can prompt them to set up or choose a superfund to ensure compliance with payday super
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea to notify an employee asking for their superfund details when they turn 18. We can certainly see how this would streamline the process for you.
Whilst the system won't currently remind your employee, we can suggest a workaround as a reminder ask the employee for this info when they turn 18.
Here's how:
For under 18s, leave the superannuation line out of their pay template. When they hit 18, you'll receive an error when attempting to post a pay run stating that there's a missing super line with SGC contribution type from their payslip. This can serve as a reminder to set up or add a SGC line in their pay template.
Our product team will keep an eye on this idea's progress and we'll update along the way.

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.

UK payroll: Download individual P11s
It would be useful to be able to download/print the P11's for an individual instead of it being a bulk download.

AU Payroll - Enter Long Service Leve entitlements in "Weeks" not hours
I would like to enter Long Service leave balances visible to employees in "weeks" instead of "hours" as I want to avoid overstating or understating hours for those employees who have had varied hours over the course of their employment.
I do not want to have to do the long service leave calculations (as per the LSL legislation in Victorian) with each pay run to work out their average hours. When setting up the leave as a Pay item I can select it to be weeks but when I set up the employee it still only allows Hours.
Can Xero…

Payment
I plan to use this data to organize and manage my business finances more efficiently. The information will help me track sales, expenses, invoices, payments, and overall business performance. I am building a system that will allow me to better understand cash flow, maintain accurate records, and make informed decisions as the business grows. The data will also help with bookkeeping, reporting, and improving the way I manage daily operations.

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
19 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.

UK Payroll: Ceased Benefits YTD to remain on payslip
The year to date figure of any previous benefits (that have ceased during the tax year) should remain on the payslips for the whole of the tax year in which they were paid. For employees on a cumulative tax code, their year to date tax figure does not make sense without it. This should also be the case for previous pay elements (rather than grouping altogether into other payments), this is to keep a split of the taxable and non-taxable pay elements. Thank you!
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea on having YTD benefits appear consistently on the payslips. I understand benefits make up taxable earnings and should remain on the payslip.

UK Payroll: Add Download P45 link in the Employee list
Add the P45 link in the Employee row, like P60.
If you have selected one or more employees to download the P45 you then have to scroll back up to the top of the page to find P45 Download button.
I had to use the Help resource to find it, rather than it be obvious.

AU Payroll: Automate Pay Runs
For any fixed salary employees, there should be an option to automate their regular (fortnightly/monthly) payruns. There's no reason why I need to manually create these for fixed salary employees.
Any changes to salary or leave balances etc are all managed separately via their respective employee records or leave requests.

UK Payroll - Display number of employees in the payrun
It would be very useful to have a feature in the pay run screen that displays the total number of employees selected for payment once employees are ticked off for processing.
This would be particularly helpful for advisors, accountants, and payroll bureaus when calculating payroll billing for clients. In many cases, not all employees listed in the payroll are paid in every pay run, as some employees may be inactive temporarily, unpaid, or excluded from that specific pay cycle.
Currently, users may need to manually count the selected employees, which can be time-consuming and increases the chance of errors. Having…

defer emailing of payslips
Deferring emailing of payslips.
We pay fishermen on an adhoc basis, we normally prepare their crew share a few days prior to our fishermen client getting paid for this fish. We don't pay the crew until the client has been paid. It would be good if we could defer emailing of the payslip until the date of payment. this would be a nice function. at the moment, we have to remember to go back into the payrun on the day of payment which just adds time.2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
Feature Suggestion: Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
It would be extremely helpful if Xero could display the full pay period (From DD/MM/YY to DD/MM/YY) within the payroll pay window, rather than only showing the "Week Ending" date.
For example, instead of displaying:
Week Ending 05/07/2026
display:
Pay Period: Wednesday 29/06/2026 to Tuesday 05/07/2026
or
29/06/2026 – 05/07/2026I process payroll for multiple entities with different pay cycles and pay periods. Having the start and end dates clearly visible would make it much easier to confirm that the correct pay run is being processed, reduce the risk of errors,…

Notifications on payroll overview
It would be beneficial that under the payroll overview drop there would be number of notifications in every category. For example Leave 1 if there is one leave request and so on. Maybe a exclamation mark next to overview that there is something to action with. This way the payroll officer would spot the actioned items easily.

Change how Xero handles rounding in payroll calculations
UK Payroll - when the correct hourly rate is entered when setting up an employee, ensuring that it meets the requirement of the HMRC minimum / living wage, Xero should handle rounding in payroll calculations so that it does not create an unnecessary "under minimum wage notification". This notification means the calculation has to be checked, and additional work by adding an line adjustment to ensure the employee is not underpaid.
For example hourly rate £10.85. Hours worked 18.5. Total pay £200.725. Xero round this down to £200.72, which causes an "under minimum wage notification". In all other scenarios £200.725,…
