AU Payroll - Filter superannuation payments screen
Multi select or more filter options when processing superannuation payments. This would expediate processing super payments for large employers. For example, you should be able to filter the super payment to show only last month super and select all and submit for payment. At the moment, if we want to process the previous month's super, we have to manually unselect each employee super that relates to the next month or quarter that we aren't required to pay yet.
18 votesWe can see you raised this a little while ago, so wanted to touch base with an update. We can see that this idea has been steadily gaining support, so have updated the status accordingly.
It's also useful to note that there may be a few changes to superannuation in Xero with the ATO's upcoming PayDay Super changes rolling out in July 2026.
This means superannuation is firmly on our product team road map. They will be updating payroll customers about the changes in the coming months.

UK Payroll - Be able to download payslips by employee group instead of one big batch of all employees
When you're in the pay run screen, you can only download ALL payslips as one PDF file. We need to be able to download payslips by employee group so they can be sent to the individual managers of the employee groups for review/approval.

Expenses Report - Including billable expense assignment
Would really appreciate the ability to export expense claims for an individual employee for a defined period which shows which are billable to a client and those that are not.
Currently the Expense Claim Detail report only shows aged (unpaid) expenses and the Account Transactions Report shows all expenses whether paid, unpaid or submitted, but doesn't differentiate those that are general expenses from those that can be billed to Clients (Customers).
Hard to believe we are the first small business to request this functionality.

AU Payroll - Change Super Payment Frequency en masse.
If I want to change the Payment Frequency for Superannuation from quarterly to monthly, I currently have to do it for each and every employee individually, A fair waste of time because there are many employees on the list to change, but I've done it. When it becomes mandatory in 2024 to pay all employees fortnightly, I'm hoping to be able to 'Select All' employees, and select to change the Payment Frequency' from Monthly to Fortnightly. Do you know if this has been discussed or is likely to become an option for us?
16 votesWe can see you raised this a little while ago, so wanted to touch base with an update. The ATO are implementing Payday superannuation amendments in Jul 2026. This will significantly change the way Automatic Superannuation in Xero works. Whilst we don't have any specifics on how this will look in Xero payroll, our product team are working hard to make the necessary changes to keep our customers compliant in a user friendly way. As these changes may have an effect on this idea too, we've moved the current status to In Development for now. We'll be reaching out closer to July to let payroll customers know how PayDay super will work in Xero.

UK Payroll - Set an end date for payroll deductions
I've just set up a salary sacrifice for a cycle to work scheme in payroll. However there isn't an end date in Xero so I have to manually diarise a date to stop the salary sacrifice for the employees. Please could a box be added to automate this.

AU Payroll | Add opening balance for Working Holiday Maker tax rate
Please add an opening balance for the Working Holiday Maker tax rate
When a Working Holiday Maker (WHM) reaches the earning threshold of $45000 they must be taxed 32.5% (instead of 15% prior to $45K per financial year). When an employee is set up in Xero as a WHM this tax calculation is automatic as along as the full $45K was earned with the current employer. If the employee has earned $45K prior to starting with a new employer Xero will calculate the WHM tax as 15% instead of 32.5% and there is no option to set an opening balance.…

Expenses: Option to disable mileage claims
Turn off the mileage claims option in the Expense Settings .. currently one cannot do this ... we have never used this option, and it's a pain when we use the Xero expenses app as it adds another layer to inputting an expense.

Xero Expenses - Ability to overwrite VAT amount
When uploading a 20% vat rate expense via the Xero Expense App please allow for the VAT box to be overwritten if required. This is an issue when the Xero rounding is different to that on the receipt, usually by 1p.

UK Payroll - Pay employees directly via Open Banking
With the advent of Open Banking, it would be great if when you submit the payroll, it could also utilise OB to physically make the payment to the employee also. This would help automate the whole payroll process.

We look forward to offering direct wage payments via open banking with Crezco to all UK payroll orgs soon.

UK Payroll - Ability to have Payroll week number on payslip
The ability to have the payroll week number showing on the payslip if it is a weekly payroll, rather than just the tax month it falls into.
16 votesThanks for this suggestion.
This is a clear idea that would help employees on weekly pay schedules better understand which specific tax week their pay relates to, rather than just seeing the tax month or the date range.
We have marked this idea as Gaining Support so other users can vote and show the Community team how important this addition to the payslip is.
In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, you could manually add the week number to the Payslip Message field on the draft pay run (e.g., "Week 12") before posting it. This message will appear at the bottom of the employee's payslip.
