  3. Separate annual leave paid out on termination from annual leave taken in the payroll activity summary report which would help for checking the correct super was paid and also for payroll tax purposes depending on the state.

    Thanks for sharing your idea with us. To be completely upfront, this isn't currently on our roadmap. However, you can already view this information within the employee's STP summary by checking the STP finalisation screen.

    Even though it's not planned right now, we're leaving your post open to see what kind of feedback and support it gathers from the community. If you know colleagues who would benefit from this, feel free to share the link so they can add their votes. Other members can also drop comments to share how this change would improve their day-to-day experience with Xero.

  4. Adding the employee basis somewhere on the pay employees pay run screen where it lists all the employees in the pay run have a column showing whether they are fulltime or casual etc.

  5. It would be awesome if I could get a confirmation email to my inbox when I submit my payroll. This way, when I panic because I don't remember if I did payroll or not, I can easily see in my email that I did. Just for peace of mind as well as a timestamp for when it's done.

    Thanks for sharing this suggestion, Kc. We understand the request for an automated email confirmation when payroll is successfully submitted. Having a confirmation in your inbox could make it easier to keep a record of the submission without needing to log back into Xero to check the status.

    I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your payroll workflow, add your vote and let us know what information you’d want included in the confirmation email.

  7. just found out that when an employees hours increase close to their anniversary date the hours of leave due are calculated only on the hourly rate at that time and not pro-rata for the year. example works 9 months at 35 hours and 3 months at 40 hours, the staff member should be allocated 3 x 35 and 1 x 40 weeks of annual leave = 145 hours but Xero will allocate them 160 hours. This is not a difficult fix.

  8. I recently invited a new employee to self onboard-which is a great time saver. I put in a nominal expiry date and then I do not recall getting any notification that they had onboarded. A nice big notification in Xero when I logged in would have been great. I have been in and out of Xero all week for various other tasks and next minute I received an email saying their onboarding had expired. I had no option to retrieve her info and had to delete her and resend the invitation which made me look inept. Alternatively, Xero could keep…

  9. Xero will show me banners at certain times to tell me of a new feature that could save me some time but they do that without first checking whether I am using that feature already. For instance, Xero just told me how I could save time with automatic superannuation. I spent time reading the linked article only to realize that I already have automatic superannuation payments set up and operating. Xero has the data to know if I am using the feature they want to advertise. Xero should respect it's users' time by not suggesting features that users are already…

    Hey Martin, thanks for letting us know you are seeing the pop up asking you to try out a feature when you have the feature already. We have updated this Idea so other can Vote and Comment on this. Next step is to share with friends and colleagues so we can gauge impact from the community.

  10. Currently the screen shows the last processed timesheet, which in this case is last week's.

    Having just selected the next period (for this current week) and created and saved a draft, that should be the period/timesheet I see on the screen. Instead it defaults back to last week, meaning in order to go and edit or approve this current week I have to go and select it again from the dropdown - extra clicks and steps that are unnecessary.

    Please change the default view to the current week, or make it a user preference. I have no need to go…

    Appreciate you raising this idea. Having Timesheets open directly to the current period could make it quicker to enter and review hours without adjusting the date each time.

    We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and share which period you'd prefer as the default.

    Hi Martin, thanks for sharing this feedback. We understand how having the bank balance visible when selecting a payment account could make payment processing more straightforward.

    We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and share how this would help your process.

  12. A warning banner appears every time an employee makes an expense claim for the same amount as a previous expense claim. Many expense claims are for the same amount but for different dates. Can the warning please be improved to highlight only expense claims for the same amount and the same date?

    Appreciate your feedback, Jean. We understand the request to make duplicate expense warnings clearer and more useful. Providing more context around why a claim has been flagged could make it easier to review potential duplicates and avoid unnecessary interruptions for legitimate expenses.

    We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like duplicate warnings to work.

  13. Be able to enter time on pay runs as minutes eg (0:35) or as decimals (0.5833)

    Thanks 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.

  14. 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😮

    I 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!

  15. Other payroll software integrates directly with SPPA so that at a click of a button you can export all the information you need for your SPPA Annual return. I know from speaking to my GP Practice Manager colleagues that this is the main thing preventing them from moving over to Xero Payroll. The reruns can be quite complex, especially if you have part time staff or staff starting part way through the year so this would make life a lot easier.

    Thanks for raising this with the community. The request is for SPPA annual returns to be supported within Xero UK Payroll, either through a direct integration or an export in the required format.

    This could reduce the manual work involved in compiling pension information for part-time employees and mid-year starters.

    I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If SPPA reporting is something you need, add your vote and share what information you currently have to prepare manually.

  16. Please show Super+Earnings on the payroll screen so I dont have to do the calcualation manually every month for every employee when trying to work out their pay which includes super. it would be a 15 min job to add this to the screen and would be very very helpful. see screen shot

  17. Filter Super Payables by Payroll Run Name

    Add a sort function to Super payable by Payroll Run Name
    This will allow easy reconciliation of the super payment approval amount to the payroll run concerned.
    We do multiple pay runs for different departments on 1 day so to be able to sort by pay run would be a great improvement & time saver.

    Thanks for sharing your idea about filtering super payments by individual pay runs rather than just by pay period.

    As you noted, when multiple pay run schedules share the same period, the current filter doesn't separate them. As a workaround, you can open the specific pay run and select Make Payment > Pay Super, as this will group the superannuation exclusively for that specific pay run.

    As this is a community support platform it's up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Appreciate you bringing this to the community.

    We understand the request for Xero to accept HEIC receipt images. Native support could make it easier to upload receipts without first converting them to another file format, and can support specific integrations.

    We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would help your workflow, do add your vote.

  19. Businesses using Xero Auto Super have already authorised Xero to direct debit our nominated bank account. Please add an optional setting to automatically create and submit super payment batches when a pay run is posted.

    This would support Australia's Payday Super requirements and remove the need for a manual approval every pay cycle.

    Suggested setting:

    "Automatically submit super payments after posting a pay run."

    This should be optional so businesses that prefer manual approval can continue using the existing workflow.

    For small businesses with regular weekly payrolls, this would save time and reduce the risk of missing a super payment.

  20. The leave balance display on payslips is the main area where historical point-in-time data is being updated dynamically. The payslip PDF pulls the leave balance from the employee's current leave record rather than storing what it was at the time of posting. I would like this to be updated to ensure that the payslips we have access to on an employee's account remain static and historically and legally accurate to what the employee initially received when disbursed. This avoids misinterpretation of leave accruals between payroll officers and employees who may be working off two different versions of the same payslip.
