UK payroll - Include the accommodation offset in the calculation of the NMW
Ability to Include the accommodation offset rate in the calculation of the NMW
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about our NMW detector to account for accommodation offset. I just want to let you know you can turn off the NMW notifications for the employee.

UK Payroll - Working weeks in year default
I would like the facility to change the default number of working weeks in the year. We work to 52.14 weeks per year and as Xero works on 52 weeks as an unchangeable default, the minimum wage checks - a useful feature - become meaningless
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, I understand that with weekly payroll you can sometimes end up with 53 pay weeks in a year, and 364 days is not entirely 1 year.

Payroll AU: Medicare levy surcharge
It would be good for Xero to add a Medicare Levy surcharge option for a percentage in the Taxes tab of employee set-up.
Currently if an employee wants a percentage taken we have to manually adjust each pay run to ensure the correct amount is taken and and reporting to ATO is therefore done correctly.
Leaving something as important as this to human error is not a good idea.4 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding the Medicare levy to AU payroll tax calculations.

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…
2 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.

Payroll AU: Self-Onboarding history log to show this was entered by employee
Upon approving an employee’s submitted details via the self-onboarding feature, we observed that the transaction history reflects the approver as the one who entered the details, rather than the employee who originally submitted them.
For audit trail purposes, it would be helpful to identify the employee as the original submitter, while maintaining a separate record of the approver’s action.
Alternatively, a feature that allows printing or exporting the submitted self-onboarding form (as originally completed by the employee) would also address this need.

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!
4 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.

AU Payroll - Option to hide self onboarding tab
We have our own onboarding system and won't use the onboarding tab, it would be great to have the option to remove or hide this as its just in the way. I use current and past employees and click this by mistake frequently which I find very frustrating.

Payroll AU - Preset Start and end date for Child support deductions
It would be useful for child support deductions to be able when we get the letter saying "this much from this date to that date and this much from that date going forward" to be able to put both those things in at the same time rather than relying on all-too-fallible humans to remember to go in and change the amounts on a particular date.

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.

UK Payroll - Set time and day when scheduling payslips
I love that you can now schedule payslips but it would be much better if you could choose date and time rather than 1 day/2 days/3 days etc this is fussy, a calendar and time would be fanastic !!!!
27 votesThanks for the feedback, team and great to hear you're making use of the schedule payslips feature. We're watching this idea closely and I'll share if there are any updates planned.

Payroll AU > Create an account transaction when you process super payment.
When you approve an auto super payment it would be helpful if an account transaction is created in the bank account with the description detailing the underlying payruns the super payment amounts relate to (ie pay dates, employee total). This would then be matched to the withdrawal on from the bankfeed.
When trying to reconcile what super has been paid and when this information would be very helpful in identifying late super from within the GL or account transaction report.

UK Payroll - Email payslips to employees on specific date
The new update to email payslips to employees doesn't really make any sense.
The original suggested idea was to allow flexibility to payroll processors so they don't have to log in to Xero for each payroll client and release the payslips manually. The new update for scheduled automation just really moves the responsibility to the posting date so we now need to remember to log in to Xero to post the payroll with the automation either being automatic on the day, or within a 5 day window after posting!
Having a 1 to 5 day delay does nothing to really…

AU Payroll - Payday super reminders
With the pending Payday super requirements, can there be a reminder or a "can't progress" feature to prompt the person processing the payroll to also pay the Payday super?
Can the business choose to pay superannuation using BPay details instead of linking to a bank account?
22 votesAppreciate you raising the idea with us here, Jennifer and the quick support it's starting to receive.
We'd like to confirm that this is something our product team are working on as part of their development for Payday super in Xero. We will provide prompts to both;
- help payroll admins set up pay items to correctly calculate super, and
- highlight to payroll admins to pay superannuation when it's outstanding
However, BPay will not be a supported method of payment. We'll come back to share when the prompts we've noted above are released. Thanks

AU Payroll: Superannuation Accruals Report available in the Pay run
Could you please add the Superannuation Accruals report to the View Reports dropdown list in a payrun.
This will be a great inclusion to the report options once payday Super kicks in and for those already completing payday Super.
Adding this along with a Fast Click to Super payments from the payrun will make payday Super processes streamline for all.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to Drag and drop hours between days
When entering hours and locations into the timesheet, if a day is selected incorrectly (for example, selecting Thursday instead of Friday), it would be very helpful to be able to drag and drop the hours to the correct day rather than having to delete and re-enter the time in the correct day.

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…

Payroll AU - Payroll Advisors to receive Superannuation email notifications
Please include all Payroll Advisors in Superannuation bounceback email notifications.
Currently, only the Super approver receives an email notification when any super payment has bounced. Often, the Super approver does not pass this on in a timely manner, and it's not practicable to be constantly refreshing the Super Payments screen to check for any bounces, particularly for Accountants who manage multiple organisations in Xero.
With Payday Super coming in to effect on 1 July 2026, the window for ensuring super is paid is very tight. If only the Super approver is notified, they may not have the ability act accordingly…
92 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest here especially with upcoming Payday Super. I'd like to share that notifications and prompts are being developed with some of the changes we're working on, and achieve what's being asked here.
I'll round back when this is live and confirm what these look like to help in your processing of Superannuation here.

AU Payroll - Apply time tracking to the draft pay run rather than timesheet.
the ability to add dates and tracking categories and attaching them to a project. when entering pays from Payroll > Pay Employees. I know that a journal can be done after the fact, but that is time consuming. Much easier, simpler, faster to do when entering hours.
