  1. Employee migration between accounts.

    With changing business structures but staff/employees not changing, there should be an option to either migrate all data to a new account or at least export current data to import into the new account.

  2. Since Xero can't make super payment via credit card, we would like to suggest if Xero can corporate with third party payment that accept credit card payment for super. Similar to payroll, generate a file from Xero and upload to payment platform to make payment.

  3. Under the field "start date" have Xero automatically calculate their total length of service to the current date, and under the field "end date" once an employee is terminated, calculate their total overall service.
    This would save the user from needing to manually calculating the service for notice periods, redundancy payments and long service leave in some states.

  4. Could we have the option to update wages/salary on a specific date?
    It's something that QBO offers and would be very helpful in doing pay rises for January while also doing the Dec wages in advance due to office closures.
    This year my Dec pay slips went out with the wrong annual amount.
    It would also be helpful for mid pay period changes.

  6. At present there is no capacity for employees to enter overtime hours and have it approved in Xero Me.
    If additional hours are entered via Xero Me then the staff member needs to enter in all the hours worked in that fortnight, otherwise the "standard hours" in their pay template disappears in the payroll run and all you see if the overtime hours.

  7. I would like to move our payroll over to Xero, having tried in Apr 2023, I was hoping that changes would have been made in order for me to move our system over. After over 2 hours on the phone today, we eventually got there, but to my horror was told that I would have to log into each employee on the pay run and enter all regular and extra payments. Could you not have a multi person payment entry spreadsheet. Example attached. Once this is completed and saved, it then allows me to see each individuals pay totals in…

  9. Expenses Exchange Rate to be XE + Y%

    As a company director, I want to be able to set up the exchange rates on our expense claims to be the XE rate plus Y% (where the Y% is in the favour of the employee). This would save us a lot of time with people having to 're-adjust' their expenses when they get their credit card bills through.

    I know we can set our own exchange rates but that requires us to do that manually and will not track the market. Having XE + % will allow for the exchange rates…

  10. Improved Reporting in Xero on all Payroll & associated tables including Employee Data/information. I think its quite poor that you can't extract what you put in and also change in this part of Xero or elsewhere. Having to check individual records for changes if there is a query rather than getting them from a report seems long winded. You can't see renumeration changes without clicking the history part of an employee record. Please can we have better reporting.

  11. New Zealand Payroll totals by employee groups,

    My employee groups are based on my business locations. I want to know at a glance how much I have spent on payroll.

    How easy would it be to simply have a report by employee group.

  12. Ability to enter fortnight Work Patterns would be a massive help. It would assist with stat days and ensuring entitlements calculated correctly.

  13. "Common Expenses" - fix product flaw.
    In Xero app, as follows:
    -Purchases
    - +
    -Add receipt
    -Tap:Categorise to an acct
    -acct list pops up with heading "Common expenses". 2 accts listed which I rarely use.
    PLEASE FIX : there is no way to edit the list of accts under the heading at the top "common expenses". See my screen shot

    Thanks for sharing your idea, Tim. I'm just checking in with our team to see if there's any way you can influence the 'Common expense' accounts that are shown. Will round back to confirm with you here.
