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…

UK Payroll - Add Project time tracking in draft pay run rather than timesheets
Currently there is no option to allocate payments to projects in payslips. We have on multiple occasions, allocated payments to projects as a manual journal due to payments for payroll not being allocated to projects in timesheets. It is frustrating as you only realise when checking project profit/loss and quite time consuming.

Expenses - Specific set of accounts for each user
Issue: each staff may have specific types of expense he/she usually uses.
But in Expense, the accounts to be selected is all available accounts for all staffs.Suggestion: adminstrator can set individual user to a specific list of account he/she will use.
For example, company driver only see those accounts for vehicle upkeeping. Office staff may see accounts like general expenses, transport claim. Manager may see accounts like entertainment, general expenses, etc.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Xero Me | Sync timesheets from Practice Manager (XPM)
This was originally raised in 2022. The request hasn't been acted on yet. The 2022 request is being closed due to lack of support.
However, the lack of support is likely to be an indication that current Xero Partners aren't using XPM for recording time, and/or aren't using Xero Payroll. XPM improvements over the past 18 months show that they are investing in that product. Xero Payroll has also been significantly improved in the last 18 month. If Xero wants it's Partners to go full Xero and by extension encourage our clients to go full Xero, then they have to…
5 votesThanks for your suggestion about syncing XPM timesheets with Payroll, Rebecca. We see how this could add value and reduce manual work.
Atm, this isn’t on our roadmap, however we'll continue to keep a watch on the support this idea receives.
We appreciate your feedback and involvement in the Xero community. If the status of this idea changes, we’ll update you here.

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 - Maximum leave accrual limit or expiry dates for leave types.
It would be good to make it possible to either set a maximum leave accrual, or set an expiry date for leave. An example where it could be used would be study leave. We have an agreement with employees that gives them 7 days of study leave per year. Any unused study leave is forfeited after two years. Currently we have to manually monitor and adjust the leave.

AU Payroll: allowance/other earning types to make up annual salary on payslip.
We have constant feedback that we are not paying people in full because the field Annual Salary Field doesn't include allowances
Can it be the Grossed up salary package?

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.

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 - Detailed leave report including accrued leave, taken, running balance...
We need to be able to run a report showing type of leave, current balance + leave taken + accrued leave over a period of time in the past & the future. This is desperately needed to be able to approve leave without the need of spending time running various reports & exporting into 1 data base in excel just to work out if an employee will have enough leave or not to take leave in the future.

Payroll AU: Display the Full Pay Period in a Pay Run
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,…

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.

UK Payroll: Review multiple draft payslips at once.
Improvements to the pay run processing screen. Recently moved from Quickbooks to Xero and transitioned payroll across at the same time. I love Xero but I found it so much more intuitive to review the pay run in QuickBooks.
Being able to see each employee in a sort of gross to net report and being able to expand an employee out and see how the calculations were made in quickbooks felt so intuitive and easy to follow. In comparison, Xero feels quite clunky and dated. Also the ability to quickly run a variance report to see month on month changes…

UK Payroll - Add tracking to NI, PAYE & pension
I would like to be able to allocate a team tracking category to each employee on our payroll, this way when the payroll journal pulls through, each employees salary, Er NI, pension costs and any benefits will automatically be allocated to their team.
I do quarterly reporting for our client and as it currently is, each quarter I will have to manual journal all the above accounts from an unassigned 'team', back into the same account but allocated to their correct team. I will have to work out the amounts to credit out looking at the detailed report and manually…

Payroll AU > Timesheets: Restrict pay items the payroll admin can select.
When entering a Timesheet only the correct pay rates, as set up in the employees rates, is shown in the drop down. This would prevent the mistake of choosing the wrong rate and prevent the payroll officer from having to remember everyones rates.
