casual employee paid a percentage of takings, Xero functionality calculate LSL
Casual employees who provide a services are paid a percentage based on their individual takings. Would be good if xero could incorporate this into paying LSL - Long service leave. If xero could so all working that are needed to come up with the hourly rate that is paid as all employees get a set hourly LSL amount of hours added every pay but the casual employee paid percentage work all different amt of hours and all different fees

Payroll AU: Download super payment report from a batch
Automatic superannuation>Payment batch details>Payment processing
Would you be able to add a print option to this screen?
After processing the Superannuation payment, this is the final screen that shows that the Superannuation payments are queued up for payment with Xero.
I would like to save this record in my Payroll batch for the Accountant.
This shows the Accountant that I have processed the Superannuation payment.1 voteHi Rachel, thanks for sharing this idea!
Currently it's possible to generate reports for paid and unpaid superannuation accruals by using the Superannuation Accruals or Superannuation Payment report.
However, we can definitely see the benefit and convenience of having a bespoke report that's downloadable directly from an approved batch.

Xero Me - Allow email selection for notification email for approvers
It would be useful if XeroMe had an option for approvers to choose where their notification emails go (i.e. approvals for leave, timesheets and expense claims). Our workplace has recently set up XeroMe but our approvers are having difficulty because they have to remember to regularly check their personal email for notifications. Their choice at present is to link everything to their personal email and regularly check their personal email or link everything to their work email and have their personal payroll information sent to their work email.
Additionally, if 2 approvers are selected, it would be useful if XeroMe…
6 votesThanks for sharing the details behind your idea. We understand the request to allow approvers to use a separate email address for Xero Me notifications. Having the flexibility to send approval notifications to a different email could help support a wider range of workflows while keeping personal and work communications separate.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd like to use it.
As this idea also includes a couple of additional suggestions, you will need to create separate ideas for those so the community can vote on each one individually and we can track them independently.

NZ Payroll - Allow Employees to save a copy of a submitted timesheet for their records before approval/edits
It would be great for employees to have an option to save a copy of their Submitted timesheet, for their records. This means they would have proof of their Submitted timesheet to then compare to their timesheet once Approved.
Often employers may make edits to the entered hours or earnings types before Approving an employee's timesheet, and the employee having the option to save a copy of their timesheet before it is Submitted would mean they could directly compare the two, and check any edits made are correct.
1 voteThanks for highlighting this opportunity. We understand the request for employees to be able to download or save a copy of a submitted timesheet before it's approved or edited. Having access to the original submission could help employees keep their own records and refer back to what was submitted.

AU Payroll - Contractor Type for Performing Artists
Contactor income type for performers
Given the changes to the entitlement to Super for performing artists and a flat rate of 20% PAYG on the payment amount in the last few years, I'd like to see an income type for performers under Contractors. It would also be useful if there is pay item to include GST (being that they are ABN contractors who could be registered for GST - I believe NZ has something along these lines).1 voteHi Natalie. Thanks for sharing your idea for a preconfigured contractor type for Performing Artists.
In regards to applying GST for contractors, this is actually an existing Product Idea. I've added your vote to it so we can keep you updated :)
On this idea, we will focus just on the Performing Artist contractor type.
It's now up to the community to let us know how an additional contractor type would improve their Xero experience.

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.

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.

UK Payroll: Notification when employee reaches pension age

UK Payroll - Tax code update emails
I wanted to set up email notifications when Xero receives a tax code change that it can't auto update.
As I am not logged in everyday I missed the effective dates of some employee tax code changes and then cannot effect the change on the correct date, as it doesn't back date far enough when manually changing the date.
I received a tax code change that Xero couldn't auto update 5 days, however I never saw the notification and now cannot back date the effective date to the correct date. I am unable to find where to have these pop…

AU Payroll - Opt out of STP/overdue warning on contractor super
With contractor super processing in payroll, getting rid of the red overdue STP filing would be pleasing - a "no STP on the contractor super " button, please

AU Payroll - Notification when a pay run with a final pay is reverted
When a final pay is created the Annual Leave is automatically paid out. However, if that pay run is posted and then reverted to draft, the Annual Leave for that final pay gets zeroed without warning.
Not expecting or being aware of this behaviour from the software, an alert message should be given when reverting a pay run with a final pay included in it, so that the Annual Leave hours can be re-added to that employees pay, or the hours should not be zeroed at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea. Currently it's only possible to revert a pay run if it's the most recent and hasn't been filed. There is no notification when reverting a final pay.

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 - Ignore tax calculation if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" selected
For a new starter, if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" has been selected (A), then any tax and pay figures in the YTD fields should be ignored as they could have been entered for a P45 given for a previous tax year.
1 voteGood to hear your feedback to our last update. Monica and we can re-open your idea to get a sense of interest from the wider community, however want to be open that this isn't something we have direct plans of atm.
Just to re-iterate for others coming across this post - For new employee's, if this is their first job since the start of the tax year, you should not enter a P45 or any opening balances in their employee record. Leaving these sections blank ensures the system calculates their tax correctly based on their current circumstances.

AU Payroll - Right align Amount in new super page
Can we right align the column of numbers for super amounts in the new superannuation page, so that the decimal points of the dollar amounts are in a line?
(As it is, the white space between lines and between columns means I have to use a ruler to see how much was paid on what day without my eyes skipping to another line, unless I zoom out to 80% and make the window take up a third of my monitor, but that bad UI design choice is consistent across all the new stuff, whereas the left alignment of a column…

NZ Payroll - Efficient timesheets data entry and display
Make the New Layout as Efficient/Productive as the Classic Layout. It takes too many mouse clicks to set up the timesheets, compared to the Classic Layout:
1) The Classic Layout had "weeks" for the employer to choose. It didn't require you to click the starting date & the finish date. Can the New Layout have the most recent unpaid week already present, so that the employer/manager can immediately input the hours for each day?
2) The Classic Layout allowed me to click each employee & immediately input their hours. The New Layout does not. This wastes time & makes me…2 votesHi Junn Thanks for sharing your feedback about what you enjoyed in the old timesheet layout.

AU Payroll - Add Super payment status to Pay Employees Screen
Add a column similar to the STP Filing one in the Pay Employees Screen to show whether the super for the payrun has been included in a payment yet or not.

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.

UK Payroll: Default payment reference for Xero wage payments

UK payroll: naming convention for workplace salary sacrifice pension item.
Salary sacrifice pension when set up as the default pension scheme, enrols employees with a pension deduction item "Pension provider (NPA)"
Salary sacrifice and Net pay arrangements are entirely different and should not be confused.
Xero support have repeatedly told me it is an NPA so nothing needs to change but this is incorrect.
Would it really be too difficult to have it say (SS)?
It has caused huge upset and confusion among a few of my clients who have made a full move to salary sacrifice and there is no explanation from Xero, it is just wrong.
