UK Payroll: Record send dates of pension eligibility letters
The Pensions Act 2008 requires all employers to enrol their eligible employees into an auto-enrolment compliant qualifying workplace pension scheme, if they are not already in one, and pay specified minimum contributions. At the moment there is no way to check if and when the letter was sent to the employer. As this is a point on our audit checklist for all our clients would it be possible to add a field showing the date when the letter was sent out to an employee or ideally add it to a pension report.

NZ Payroll - Ability to export Leave Liability report to excel
That Leave Liability Report is able to be exported to Excel. This would avoid double handling when I am creating graphing for the CE
25 votesThanks to everyone here for sharing your feedback, sorry we’ve not rounded back to this idea sooner.
While this was something our teams picked up some time back, unfortunately it was not a feature we were able to deliver with work done at that time.
Currently our product teams are focused on upcoming changes to New Zealand leave legislation, and prioritising required work.
Updates for Leave reports may be considered longer term, however at this time there’s nothing roadmapped.
Should there be any change to pick this back up in the future we’ll let you know here.

UK Payroll - Amend employment contract information
Employment Information > Contract Details. I inadvertently ticked the wrong box for one of our Directors and it won't let me amend. You can amend pretty much most things in Xero but not this, and while it doesn't have any impact on the Director's status or pay, it is annoying that I can't amend or delete. It would be good to have this function in place. Or, just don't have it in place for Directors.
24 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts around the ability to amend the contract information. The Contract information is a new addition to the client information section and its great to get feedback on how this is working for our customers. We have moved this to Gaining Support, so make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

AU Payroll - Recurring leave request
We have 2 employees that will be taking 1 day LSL every week in the new financial year and it would be very helpful if there was a way to add in this type of leave request as a recurring request for the same day each week. Rather than having to add in 1 day leave for each occasion.

AU Payroll - Option for Time off in Lieu (TOIL) to be exempt from superannuation
2 TOIL options, TOIL accrued & TOIL Accrued in place of Overtime
We are unable to mark a Time in Lieu Leave pay item as exempt from accruing SGC, which is not how the ATO classifies SGC for TOIL.
We suggest having 2 TOIL categories, so that there is the option for a TOIL where SGC is required to be paid and one wit SGC exempt:- when super is accrued on overtime.
24 votesJust a quick update on this XPI. While it's not possible to adjust the TOIL leave pay item to mark it as exempt from SGC as suggested, we can suggest an alternative approach that may assist.
If you use the Cashed Out option when raising a leave request for TOIL, it will be reported as Overtime and SGC not accrue on the leave taken.
Let us know if there are any circumstances where this approach wouldn't be suitable for your situation.

Create timesheet availability to Contractors set up in Xero payroll as Non employee.

AU Payroll: super payment status
With Payday super approaching, it would be good to have a progress indicator on the super submission page, or somewhere. i have submitted super for a period but the submission page is still showing as unpaid, whereas it should say submitted to avoid double processing.
23 votesHey everyone! Thanks for supporting the idea of getting greater visibility into your super payment tracking.
With the ATO's PayDay Super changes rolling out in July 2026, superannuation is firmly on our product team's roadmap. Keep an eye out for updates from the payroll team in the coming months!

UK Payroll - report to include employee bank details
UK Payroll report to include employee bank details - would like a report to run employee contact details which lists existing bank details
23 votesHi Joanne, thanks so much for all your feedback and comments on this idea. We totally get how handy it’d be to have a report in Xero UK Payroll that includes employee bank details.
Not having something like this can definitely add extra work and hassle—especially when you need to send bank info to a third party or double-check payments.
Right now, the idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, which means we’re keeping a close eye on how many people are voting and sharing their thoughts. The more input we get, the easier it is for us to understand how important this is and where it might sit in our list of priorities.

Timesheet approval process
- Give payroll admins the ability to move the status from "draft" to "pending approval" as is possible in NZ and UK or
- Give permissions to users with approval power to see the timesheet in the "draft" status through "Xero me" or

23 votesHi team, knowing that managing and reviewing timesheets is a big part of your work, we're working to make this easier for you in Xero Payroll.

AU Payroll - Allow allowances to contribute towards other leave rates
With separating the All purpose allowances. Is there going to be a selection for SICK LEAVE and RDO in the future? (Currently Contributes to Annual and Overtime) only. There is a lot of room for error when you have 50 employees and you have manually adjusted the rate for every single employee!! I'm sure we are not the only company that has RDO and Sick Leave where the all-purpose allowances need to be included in the base rate. Could you please Add this option to the allowances pay item. We are unable to continue with STIP Phase 2 unless this…

UK Payroll - Amend previous RTI submissions
It would be great to be able to change an existing payrun (without using an unscheduled one) and submit an additional FPS relating to that month. Also being able to submit an additional FPS relating to a month that has already been submitted and no changes made, but sometimes HMRC pulls through the data incorrect their end and they need just an additional FPS submitted to pull it through correct but this is not possible currently.
22 votesThanks for sharing your idea on RTI amendments. As you're aware, in Xero payroll any amendments need to be processed with an unscheduled pay run. When posted this submits a new RTI to HMRC with updated YTD figures rather than updating the previous RTI.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

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.
Thanks
Andrew22 votesHi team, we appreciate your interest and support in the idea here, however I want to be upfront that we don't have any near term plans for adding the ability to adjust tax in Xero Expenses.
Right now, you could consider entering the expense as a bill or Spend Money transaction using the receipt’s line-item breakdown, where you'll be able ot manually adjust the Tax amount when needed.
I appreciate this doesn't solve the underlying need here and we'll continue to track interest through this idea.

UK Payroll - Automatically update tax code
If I run the payroll on say the 22.07 and then a P6 arrives effective from say 25.07 it wouldn't be updated automatically. Surely it should be updated regardless of whether the date relates to a previous period or not? This frequently happens. I can't think of an example of when you wouldn't want the tax code to update automatically?

AU Payroll - Make multiple draft pay runs
Ability to draft future payruns - ie more than 1 darft payrun. Especially at Christmas time. I would like to draft up future payruns before Igo on leave, but still have the ability to adjust this week payrun for overtime etc. At the moment I can't move forward until I complete current payrun. or i have to do un unscheduled payrun to fix it. Very time consuming

AU Payroll - Disable timesheet and leave request notification emails
As an employee, I receive an email every time a leave request was approved.
My boss receives an email every time a leave request is submitted and every time a timesheet is submitted.
