AU Payroll - Search for staple superfunds
Would be great if Xero can do the search for employees staple fund especially when Payday super comes in
5 votesHi Kim, Thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026, and we’re also aware the ATO is currently building a Member Verification Request (MVR) system as part of the broader industry changes.
Feedback like this is really helpful as these changes continue to develop. If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help.

Bill Payments - Pay Items Order
Put Pay items in alphabetic order. Why has this changed in the first place and why is it not possible to fix? When you need numerous pay items for different areas and times of the day it is SO time consuming to have to scroll through every item to find the one you need. And they there are a lot that are similar so you have to concentrate on exactly what you need. This is such a VERY basic need, I can't believe it's not fied back to what it was a month ago.
4 votesHey Jenny thanks for raising this Idea wiht us, we appreciate time taken to bring this to us. We have moved this to Gaining Support and encourage you to reach out to colleagues and friends to vote and/or comment so our Product team can gauge interest. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

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)
3 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea about being able to schedule payslips to be emailed automatically to employees — love that you’re thinking about ways to save time and streamline payday!
We’ve now reviewed your idea, and from here it’s over to the wider Xero community to get behind it and show their support.

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Ireland
It would be great if Xero was able to handle payroll services for Ireland. Available already for other regions.
3 votesHey all, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Ireland. Being upfront, we don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions. We will move the idea to Not in pipeline.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their app store listings to see which is the right fit for your business.

AU Payroll - Add leave into pay run without creating leave request
Why cant small operators bypass the LEAVE function and approval process. If one of my workers has a sick day it would be far easier to simply adjust the payslip to 7.6 hours under the sick category and it then automatically deducts it from the leave balance. Same for holidays etc. Its quite time consuming for small operators.

AU Payroll - Cap leave requests at the employee’s current leave balance (or a set advance limit)
Restrict leave requests when there is insufficient leave.
It would be really good if we could prevent employees from requesting leave they do not have, or set an acceptable amount that they are allowed go into negative hours (eg up to -5, but not more than that, or however much each workplace deems okay). At the moment an employee with 2 hours available can request 100 hours leave. With many different dept managers approving the leave, sometimes they don't look at the balance, and approve it anyway, causing the payroll manager to have to go back to both and explain…

UK payroll - Payroll admin to turn off email notifications for payroll payments
Multiple users of Xero account (in accountants office) have payroll admin status for clients. When a payroll payment has been created we are all receiving emails. Should be an option to turn this off.

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.
We can see the vision, so have updated the status to gaining support. Now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

UK payroll: Download individual P11s
It would be useful to be able to download/print the P11's for an individual instead of it being a bulk download.

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 - Previous Payroll ID field to be optional or opt-out clearer
Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID. Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could…

AU Payroll - process payments for wages and super using .aba
Include Super in payroll .aba export.
Why does Super need to be treated differently to the other bank transfers included in a payroll .aba export? Include the transfer to the Super clearinghouse with the other transfers so we can skip the extra steps and external authorisation process (which is just weird and disconnected from everything else Xero).2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We want to be transparent that adding superannuation payments into the payroll .aba export isn’t in our product team's pipeline.
This is because super payments need extra information that an .aba file can’t carry, such as a member number, USI, TFN etc.
.aba files are designed for standard electronic bank payments, so they can't upload this complex data in the file format required for super contributions.
For more detail on the changes coming with Payday Super from 1 July 2026, I’d recommend our Xero Central article. We’re also rolling out improvements to Auto Super and streamlining the payment workflow in Xero, so paying super after each pay run will be faster, easier and remain SuperStream compliant.

AU Payroll - Email previous payslips from Employee PaySlip History
Ability to send an employee payslip from individual employee PaySlip History either singularly or multiple payslips as requested by employees. Instead of having to go into each pay run to re-send payslips.
7 votesThanks so much for sharing the idea to email historic payslips from directly in the Employee record.
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 handy workaround is to tick the payslips you wish to send from the employees record and then download them and attach to an email.

UK Payroll - Calculate pension contributions on pre-Statutory earnings
I Would like Xero to create a built-in feature whereby Employer pension contributions stay the same even during Statutory Pay Periods e.g. SMP or SSP.
This is common in medical practices where the practice must pay contributions based of the employees salary as opposed to the rate of SSP or SMP.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about keeping employers' contribution rates fixed while an employee is on statutory leave.
I wanted to let you know that it is currently possible to set pension contributions to a fixed amount, however appreciate this workaround won't suit everyone, especially those managing multiple employees.

UK Payroll - Group spend money transactions when paying multiple employees
When paying employees, instead of having 50 payments go through your bank account, its a bulk payment instead. One total payment (like a bulk payment made through your bank account where you get 25 payee's grouped together - Only the grand total shows in your bank account).
Making the accounting in Xero easier, also if Audited, quicker for checks.4 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. Whether your payroll appears as a single bulk total or individual lines depends entirely on your specific bank and the type of payment method you use (such as BACS vs. Faster Payments). Ultimately, whatever is recorded on your official bank statement is exactly what gets imported into Xero as a bank feed line.
That being said, we completely understand the request for Xero to automatically group these matching lines together on the reconciliation screen, or to provide a feature that allows you to reconcile all of them at once.

AU Payroll: AutoSuper Functionality for non AU bank account formats
Currently AutoSuper is not working if one has a Wise AUD bank account.
This would be highly advantageous for those that run their business entirely through Wise and don't use an Australian local bank.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea!
I wanted to let you know that it is possible to use Wise accounts for auto super payments; however, if the Wise base account is not the AU-specific account, the format will not follow the standard requirement of: BSB 000-000, Account 00000000.

UK Payroll - Ability to map Earning/Deductions to both P&L and Balance Sheet codes
Please allow mapping to any NL code currently it restricts Earnings to P&L and Deductions to Balance Sheet, we have to do negative earnings for unpaid sick/absence and a manual journal for paying Tips to our staff.

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

AU Payroll - Process payroll from Xero accounting app.
Would love to be able to access payroll data and process payroll from ipad app. Instead of having to loggin into safari or google to lodge payroll. I can nearly use every aspect of my daily xero usuage through the app and then need to log in somewhere seperately to do payroll. To be able to do it on the app as well would be amazing
2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about a dedicated Xero Payroll app! As you're aware the Xero mobile app is a companion to the main Xero web platform. It allows you to monitor finances on the go like creating invoices, and reconciling transactions. Because it is a companion app, it doesn't include all of Xero's web features such as payroll.
We appreciate your feedback, and we agree that having a fully dedicated Xero Payroll app could be incredibly useful for managing your team on the move.

AU Payroll - Process Negative Total Super Contributions in a Super Batch
With the upcoming PayDay Super deadline, we need the ability to process a negative total Super Contribution Category in a Super Batch. I've recently had the scenario where an employer added and incorrect Super Category to the employee's pay, and then paid the super. When processing the payroll for the following week we discovered the error, reversed the pay, created it again with the correct super category and then recorded the current (2nd) weeks pay. There were 2 lines in the Pay Super from the previous week, a positive & negative (net amount $0, negative one to reverse incorrect super…
5 votesHi everyone, thank you for raising this with us ahead of payday super.
Whilst our product team have reviewed this closely, due to the way the Automatic Superannuation payment works, the ability to include negative payments is unlikely to be on our roadmap. The idea has been moved to Not in Pipeline and voting for this idea remains open.
We appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but at the moment your approach to this situation aligns with what we recomend.
However if there's any change to the way Automatic Superannuation payments work that will allow our product team to review this idea, we'll let you know.
