Need "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" option for ALL Rate Types
When setting up new payroll items there is only the option "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" on the "Multiple of Employees' ordinary earnings rate" and not " Fixed Amount" or "Rate per Unit".
When you have several ordinary earnings rates that are not multiples it's a problem as then leave is not accruing on the additional earnings rates.
To fix this all Xero needs to do is simply add the "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" checkbox on all items. I have asked Xero repeatedly over the last 4-5 years to add this feature and they give weak "workarounds"…

AU Payroll work pattern/rostering for Fulltime and Part Time Contracted Employees
Xero currently doesn't have a work pattern/rostering system in the back end of its Payroll system; it only has a pay template. I want to create work patterns for days/hours worked per day for each of my employees to streamline leave days/hours and provide visibility into my part-time staff. This would also help staff who are requesting a flexible work arrangement or a temporary contract variation after PPL, for example. A report could also be built on the back of this to identify staffing gaps. I have attached an idea of the functions required

AU Payroll - Payroll Admin to create Time Sheet templates on behalf of employees
An Upgrade to the Timesheets function that would allow businesses to create permanent, personalised templates for individual employees.
Currently, timesheets need to be manually updated each pay period, which increases the risk of inconsistency and errors. Having the ability to set up fixed Earnings Rate descriptions as part of a permanent template would make timesheets more efficient, accurate, and tailored to each business.
For example, it would be very useful if a timesheet template could include pre-set lines such as:
Ordinary hours – Direct
Ordinary hours – Operating
Overtime hours (exempt from super)
Overtime hours (including super)
Overtime Mon–Sat –…

It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE ONLY", with it pending approval by Manager via XeroMe
It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE CHANGES", with it remaining as pending approval by Manager via XeroMe. It only gives the option to Reject or Approve? We really need 3 options. Save, Reject, Approve.

mark leave balances as paid
It would be great if Sick leave Logged after closing of the month would go to next Payment run. At the moment its just sitting there showing as Unpaid, even though it was paid. Or if would be possible to mark it as paid manually.

More and more clients are collecting information on what allergies employees might have, it would be nice to have a field to keep this information on in Xero. It's is becoming a health and safety issue

Expense Claims - Populate contact for reimbursable expense claims
Re-introduce Vendor Auto-fill in New Expenses to Save Time & Prevent Data Duplication. The new Expenses experience is missing the vendor auto-fill/suggestion feature that existed in Classic Expenses. This is a critical time-saving tool that also prevents the creation of duplicate vendor records due to minor spelling variations or typos. Re-adding this feature would greatly improve efficiency and data hygiene.

Xero Expenses - Add custom fields for SARS
EXPENCE MODULE - TRAVEL - NOT TAX (SARS) COMPLIANT
Xero Expenses currently captures the following for mileage claims: date, distance, and a description. This is wholly inadequate for South African tax compliance and exposes every South African business using Xero Expenses for travel reimbursement to material tax risk.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) prescribes specific logbook requirements under the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 and the Seventh Schedule thereto. A valid SARS travel logbook must record the following for every trip:Date of travel

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.15 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.

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.

AU Payroll - Apply time tracking to the draft pay run rather than timesheet.
the ability to add dates and tracking categories and attaching them to a project. when entering pays from Payroll > Pay Employees. I know that a journal can be done after the fact, but that is time consuming. Much easier, simpler, faster to do when entering hours.

NZ Payroll - Automatically email payslips
Schedule payslip to be sent on pay day so we don't have to manually do this on pay day... currently I process payroll on a Saturday or Sunday, set up the payements for Tuesday and then have to login on Tuesday to send the payslips as I don't want to send them over the weekend when I process pay (while the employees are relaxing)

Xero Me - Timesheets - Employees to view timesheets submitted on their behalf.
It would be good to have the ability to add timesheets to the payslips sent to the staff.
Our staff don't work set rostered hours and the times are entered by the Supervisors due to the nature of the work. When the employees want to check their pay, they haven't got anything to reference. Having the approved timesheets sent with the payslip would allow them to query their pay more accurately.
9 votesThank you for sharing your idea, and letting us know about the changes that matter most for you and your team.
We understand the need for employees to easily reference their timesheet details when reviewing their pay.
We wanted to point out that if you provide your employees with Xero Me access, they can submit and view their own approved timesheets directly within the app. This provides them with the reference needed when they receive their payslip.

Payroll AU: Process Negative RDO Units in Timesheets
Would like to see the option to have negative line items within timesheets and in the Employee Pay Templates.
Currently, in timesheets and pay template you cannot enter a negative units value. This would be useful when entering RDO deduction to hours worked.
EG, john works 40 hours (8 hours per day) and is deducted -4.hours for RDO adjustment (-.80 per day).
Per day = 8 Hours* $60 per hour, less -.8 RDO adjustment* $60 per hour = $432 for one day.
It would be useful to be able to enter the '-.80 RDO adjustment line' in the timesheet and…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea and letting us know you'd like to process negative RDO adjustments in timesheets. Based on how you're currently processing this, you'd need to add the adjustment to the draft payslip.

NZ Payroll - Auto accrual for additional leave from salary sacrifice
We offer employees the option to sacrifice salary for additional leave. Prorating the salary is easy - just enter a new salary and a day for it to apply from. Giving the additional leave is a pain, as it aligns with the financial year, not the employee's leave anniversary date. At the moment I have to create a new leave type, and manually add the leave balance.
I would like xero to give the option to accrue a certain amount of this leave each pay cycle, or just add to the annual leave balance.3 votesHi Tim thanks for letting us know how auto accrual for additional leave would assist your business.

AU Payroll - Report to show Working Holiday Makers
There currently is no report that incorporates a list of employees based on "Income type". Hence there is no filtering that can be done by "Income Type" either. As a company that employs people from multiple income types, this feature is something of importance to us. Manually creating, updating and managing a spreadsheet for this information seems workload heavy when it should be simple as the information is already a part of XERO's requirements for employee employment information. Knowing how many Working Holiday Makers you have on your books compared to non WHM's is of significance.
I would think many…
3 votesThanks so much for sharing how a report for working holiday makers (WHM) would help with your payroll!
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support and will be keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from other users.
In the meantime, a couple of handy workarounds are: using the Classification field (which appears in the Employee Remuneration report), or setting up Employee Groups, which are also available in reporting.

UK Payroll - Percentage-Based Payroll Tracking for Multi-Funder Allocation
Xero currently provides two tracking categories with multiple options, and also offers project tracking. However, these existing structures do not meet the needs of organisations that manage payroll funded by multiple external funders.
In many organisations, especially in the charity and grant-funded sector, a single employee’s payroll cost is often covered by three or more separate funding sources. These are not projects or internal cost centres. They are external funders who jointly or separately contribute to the cost of one employee’s role.
Current Limitation
Payroll does not allow direct allocation of an employee’s cost to multiple tracking category options linked…
2 votesHi Abimbola Thanks for the great explanation of how adding multiple tracking codes to payroll costs using percentages would streamline the process of allocating this to fund providers.
We can see how this would help with complex funding arrangements so have moved this to Gaining Support.

Payroll AU: effective start and end dates for pay items on pay template
Can we please have the ability to add effective start and end dates against pay items. For example, a deduction may only be for 10 weeks at a set amount. Rather than having to setup multiple notes offline to remind us of this, can we have this function setup in the payroll system so it only deducts the amount over the set period specified.

AU Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Encountered an issue where employees annual leave has been entered twice and it doesn’t flag in the system. Unsure if a Xero glitch or a human glitch, but regardless, it shouldn’t be able to process 2 Annual Leave runs for the same dates/ Pay periods.
