AU Payroll - Option to rehire employees using the same employee record
Xero recommends creating a new, duplicate employee record when a terminated employee returns to the organisation. This can also happen when an employee switches from permanent to casual, as they need to be terminated to pay out annual leave.
Due to HR add-ons that make the issue of setting up a new, duplicate employee in Xero extremely complicated and almost unworkable, I would really like to see an additional workflow in Xero to handle this. When unterminating an employee, I'd like to see Xero asking whether we're doing this to fix something or because we're rehiring the same employee, at…

UK Payroll - Ability to customise pension letters on Xero
For some clients we use Xero's Postponement and Eligibility letters. This has proved very useful but currently the letters cannot be customised.
We have a client for example who pays a higher employer contribution percentage than the standard. The letters however, only show the standard percentage's despite the settings being different to the standard. We also have a client who has asked for their company logo to be added to the letters.
After speaking with Xero Central I was informed that the letters currently cannot be customised and don't pull from the pension settings.
If this could be looked into…
27 votesThanks for sharing your idea on customising pension letters in Xero.
As you're aware, it's not currently possible to amend the details on the pension letters. These letters state the minimum requirements outlined by the Pensions Regulator.
We need to be upfront that customising these letters is not on the foreseeable roadmap, so we'll update this to Not in Pipeline. If you want to edit the details or wording of the letters, this would need to be done outside of Xero.

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Canada
Payroll options for Canada :)
27 votesHi team, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Canada. We don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions, and I will move this idea to Not planned.
If you've been using our Global Pay Run product you may have recently received communication of changes we're making that we believe will help you manage your payroll more effectively.
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their…

UK Payroll - Add reimbursed expense to gross to net report
The gross to net report currently doesn't include reimbursed expenses, and possibly other things we haven't found yet so the net pay doesn't agree to the payslips! Please can we have a gross to net report that agrees to payslips? Failing that even a report that shows reimbursed expenses per employee would be better than nothing.
27 votesHey all, thanks for sharing your feedback on having reimbursements show on the Gross to Net report. Currently this report only captures taxable income.

Xero Expenses - Easily add expense to employees next payslip
Once expenses are approved it would be fantastic to have an option to "send" this to their next approved payslip rather than having to manually add this to the payslip.
Seems madness this isn't implemented already - what is the point in doing everything in Xero if you need to faff around making adjustments for details that are already in the system.
Employee's submit expenses - so you know who needs reimbursed already.

NZ Payroll - History and notes in Payroll to show changes made
There should be an audit trail in Payroll detailing when changes to an Employee record is made (for example: date an address was updated for an employee and what it was until that date, likewise for other details such as email address, bank account number, tax code etc). As an Employer we should be able to rely on the digitised Payroll system we are using to determine when changes to an Employee's record has been made. In terms of creating an audit trail, this doesn't necessarily only apply to Payroll only and should ideally be something that is normal and…

UK Payroll - More options for Gender
Add other gender options for personal settings, non-binary & intersex
26 votesThanks for confirming, Andy - Really appreciate the screenshot. 🙂
I've checked in with our Payroll team where this detail is saved.
We appreciate wanting more options for gender when entering personal details, and in some regions such as AU & NZ this is optional.
Currently, in order to ensure successful payroll filings with HMRC in the UK, we need to match the schema they provide. That said, our team are reassessing how this fits in Xero so I'll shift this Idea to 'under review' and can share any updates that come. -

AU Payroll - Timesheets - Allow employee's to add notes in 'Total hours worked' setting
Inside Xero Me, when you set your Timesheet type to "Start and end times" you can add notes for working days.
It would be great if we could add notes when we have our Timesheet type set to "Total hours worked".
As an employee, not being able to add a note & select an earning type is inconvenient and can cause confusion which leads to slower timesheet approvals

UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.
