  1. It would be extremely helpful if Xero could introduce a feature allowing employers to control when payslips become visible in the Xero Me app.
    For example, employers could choose to release payslips immediately, schedule them for a specific date and time, or make them visible on the actual payment date.
    This would give businesses greater flexibility to process payroll in advance while ensuring employees only see their payslips on the intended date.

  2. Exclude payroll journals from Cash Summary reports, or allow “Show journal on cash basis reports” to be unticked.

  3. Month box size changes when navigating expenses months causing usability issues

    • When navigating through months while adding expenses, the size of the month box changes.
    • The changing size requires repositioning the mouse to find the arrow for navigation.
    • A fixed size for the month box is requested to maintain arrow position and facilitate continuous clicking.

  4. It would be great if the pay rate entered when setting up a pay item filters through to the pay templates. Then if an employee is paid at a higher rate it can be manually changed from there.

    This will save so much time when updating pay rates each FY

  5. When completing a pay-run for a client, it would highly useful if there could be an automated report or letter that could be created explaining how much PAYE will be payable ideally with bank details and payment references etc too. At the moment, we are downloading the P32 and then emailing it manually which all seems longwinded.

  6. Apparently, there is no way to hide the payroll menu - this should be changed so that if there is no payroll subscription, then that menu does not appear.

    Hi Patrick, I looked into this further and wanted to clarify. The Payroll menu has been added to some US organizations to increase the visibility of our US Payroll feature. I apologize for the confusion in my previous reply.

    We recognize having an inactive menu isn't ideal for everyone, and the request to hide it makes total sense.

    We've updated your idea, and now it's up to the community to get behind it! Please share this with your colleagues so they can vote, and feel free to comment with more details on how this change would improve your Xero experience.

  7. AU_Notifications to employees on the changes for Bank and super details.
    When the employer changes the bank details in Xero, currently the notification system in Xero is designed to alert payroll administrators within organization when changes are made. Is there a way to end the notification even to the employee on the changes made.
    This will help to avoid the error if we make the changes to different employee as most of the employees name is same and led to error.

    Regards,
    Keerthi

    Thanks for sharing your idea. Ensuring employee details are secure and accurate is a priority.

    Currently, employees can view their nominated bank account details directly within the Xero Me app.

    We've opened this idea up for the wider community to vote on and discuss. Be sure to share it with colleagues or peers who would find this valuable so they can cast their vote. Other community members can also chime in through the comments to share how this feature would benefit their day-to-day workflow.

  8. Currently I have a bill to be paid sitting in purchases. However, it has already been paid by an employee and needs to be reimbursed to them. It would be great if this transaction currently sitting in purchases could be converted easily to a reimbursable employee expense. This feature could also apply to a spend money transaction sitting as unreconciled on the bank account.

  9. Annual Leave Notifications - Right now only the employee gets an email to say if their leave has been approved/denied.

    We need the feature to add a secondary email where an email notification for all approved leave can be sent - both for tracking, and to be able to add to a company HR calendar.

    PLEASE please enable this feature quickly.

  10. Would love a report I can run when doing our pays that shows the total hours & dollars for each pay category used. So total hours and dollars of ordinary, sick leave, annual leave etc, deductions, taxes and net pay. I can then use this to compare to the totals of the timesheets to ensure I've picked up everything correctly.

  11. Would Xero be able to create a widget for the homepage that shows the status of Super payments in Auto Super? Especially critical for visibility of payments that have failed.

  12. I would like to suggest adding an option in Xero to manually mark timesheets as processed, along with the ability to add a note indicating which payrun period the hours were included in.

    There are instances when employees submit their timesheets late for a particular pay period. In accordance with the company policy, these hours are included in the next payrun rather than the original period.

    As a result, the timesheets may still appear as Approved in Xero, even though the hours have already been processed and paid in the subsequent payrun. This can cause confusion and make it difficult…

  13. You cannot run a timesheet report when in draft status. You have to approve timesheets before you can run reports. We have reimbursements that we have to add manually and need to delete from the timesheet however we need to have a detailed record of them. It would be more streamlined to have the ability to run a timesheet report when in draft status and then delete from the timesheet and add as a reimbursement.

    Hi George, thanks for sharing this suggestion!

    Just to clarify, which specific pages or reports are you looking to sort by employee number?

    It is already possible to sort the main employee list as well as certain payroll reports by payroll number, so having a bit more detail on where you're hoping to see this would help us better understand your workflow needs.

    If you'd like to update your idea, you can reply to this update and we'll re-review - See more details on the qualities of a good idea on Xero Central.

  15. Could you please add an additional field so that when when you enter a new expense you can select who the expense is from like in the classice version you can select who the expense is from when entering the expense. When I entered the old classic version you had an option for selecting who it was from. In the new version the opition it not there. People to not use the app so there needs to be a new field added so that when I enter expenses onto Xero I can state who the expense was from. I think…

  16. Can you add a pop-up screen where we can enter the payment date for a super paid manually or outside of Xero rather than putting blank payment date.

  17. TFN Exemption for Contractors in pull down menu is needed. At the moment only under 18, not TFN quoted, etc is available to select for no TFN so superannuation can be paid for a contractor. Contractors normally give all information except TFN (it isn't on the super guarantee paperwork from ATO) therefore it would be good to have this as a TFN exemption when processing super only for a contractor via payroll

    Thanks for sharing your idea. Currently Xero payroll requires a TFN Exemption for contractors (ie Awaiting or Not Quoted). I can see how having another option may reduce confusion.

  18. A pop up warning if payrun includes terminated employee would be great.
    Final pay was done via unscheduled payrun and done as final pay, employee terminated. A week later, processing the normal pays, that employee popped in with a full pay period of pay - I'm guessing because his termination date fell within the pay period. I don't think he should have been included at all - but if it stays that way, then a flag that the pay run includes a terminated employee would act as a reminder to remove - or to process the final pay.

    Thanks for sharing your idea. Currently the system will show all employees in a pay run if their employment dates fall in that pay period. This is so you can make any alterations to their final pay if needed.

  19. It would be great if a total field can be added to the report. It is quite cumbersome to export multiple reports out to excel to just total the hours and then requiring deleting the download.
    I currently do this monthly for all active tracking categories. The attached example shows the Grouping and the tracking category.

  20. Request for automatic splitting of Superannuation by timesheet category to avoid have to post manual journals after every pay run. Very time consuming when removing Super exempt pay items like overtime and allowances.
    This is needed so we can process accurate Profit and Loss reports for all tracking catergor4ies in a timely and accurate manner.
