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.

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 !!!!
7 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.

NZ Payroll - Restrict which earnings rate an employee can select in timesheets
when using Xero Me in New Zealand to create timesheets, can only the assigned pay rates in the pay template be made available for the employee to choose from or create the self category to show the pay rates the employee has assigned, and team to show remaining like the Australian version of Xero does. Having to manually check employees have selected the correct pay rate on their time sheet every week is time wasted.

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.

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…

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.

UK Payroll - Calculate national minimum wage to 4 decimal places to avoid false positives.
As of this month, Xero is starting to check for national minimum wage for all employees which I am all for.
However it is very annoying to have several employees flagged as not being paid the NMW when it is entirely down to Xero's rounding. See attached screenshot.In this example, an employee gets paid for 6.5 hours at £12.21. Xero pays them £79.36 (rounded down from £79.365).
Xero's own NMW checker then flags this as below NMW because £79.36 is below £79.365.
Please can a check be brought in, that if it is just because of Xero's own rounding,…2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about NMW calculations and how this is impacted by rounding.

UK Payroll - assign Tips (non direct) to non-expense account
For the Xero Payroll pay item "Tips (non-direct)", as tips paid by a customer's credit card belong to the staff, not employer (i.e. current liability rather than company expense), please could Xero adjust the allowed payroll settings to be set up so that "Tips (non-direct)" can be posted directly to a current liability account, rather than only to a company expense account, the latter currently being the only available option.

AU Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date

AU Payroll - Calculate the length of service
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 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on automatic length of service calculations in AU Payroll.

In situations where a contractor receives mixed payments (eg includes some exempt services), is it possible to apply GST only to the applicable gross earnings rather than automatically applying GST to the total earnings?

AU Payroll - Allow Pay Frequency updates (without deleting future Leave/Timesheets)
For pay frequency for an employee, it would be good to be able to change this even if the employee has a pending leave request. Future leave or unprocessed leave has no relationship to the pay frequency if I want to pay an unscheduled bonus or other payment. This is very limiting as I may not be in a position to approve or process the leave before I need to change a pay frequency on an employee.

UK Payroll - Bulk add or amend pay items on employee pay templates
Ability to bulk amend pay template to cater for one offs payments to all employees - like a Christmas bonus
1 voteHi Lauren
Thanks for sharing your suggestion. I can definitely see how manual it is to add a Christmas bonus or one-off payment line for every single employee individually!
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support. Currently, pay templates in UK Payroll need to be updated one by one, so a "bulk update" tool would be a huge time-saver for larger teams.
I’ve updated the title to "UK Payroll - Bulk add or amend pay items on employee pay templates" to help others find it and add their votes.
Quick Tip for now: If this is a truly "one-off" payment (and not something you want on their template for every month moving forward), the fastest way currently is to add the Bonus pay item directly to the Draft Pay Run. Once you add the column to the pay run, you can enter the amounts for each person in one…

AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines
Can we please show multiple annual salary on the payslip if there is more than one ordinary time earnings rates. I would like to show a "secondment wages" line when a person is hired by another firm for one day a week as a breakup on the payslip.
1 voteHi Michelle,
Thanks for sharing this suggestion.I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.
Currently, Xero payslips are optimized to show a single primary annual salary, which can make things a bit confusing for employees working across multiple rates or secondments. Allowing the payslip to break down multiple salary bases would definitely add a lot of clarity for both employers and staff.
I’ve updated the title to "AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines" to help other users with similar needs find and vote for it.
Quick Tip: In the meantime, many users use the "Notes" section on the individual's payslip to manually clarify the secondment rate, though we appreciate an automated solution is the goal!
