AU Payroll - Shearers tax scale
Currently you are able to select the tax scale Horticultural/Shearers but there is no default tax rate attached. Apparently if employee falls under this scale you need to select for reporting to ATO which means you have to then manually calculate tax when you do the pays which is not possible if you have multiple employees knowing which employee wants what rate as they all do not use the default. This also leads to errors if not picked up it doesnt calculate automatically. May I suggest that we urgently attention to have the default ATO tax scale rate included with…

AU Payroll - Pay employees directly in Xero
It would be great if we could pay our employees similar to how we can process a batch payment in XERO for bills. At the moment I am having to go into the bank account at the end and pay each employee individually.
Is there another way to do this ? I may be missing something.
Thank you

Have an email sent to two different email addresses when an employee requests leave.
21 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

Payroll AU: Automatically submit Super payments after each pay run
Businesses using Xero Auto Super have already authorised Xero to direct debit our nominated bank account. Please add an optional setting to automatically create and submit super payment batches when a pay run is posted.
This would support Australia's Payday Super requirements and remove the need for a manual approval every pay cycle.
Suggested setting:
"Automatically submit super payments after posting a pay run."
This should be optional so businesses that prefer manual approval can continue using the existing workflow.
For small businesses with regular weekly payrolls, this would save time and reduce the risk of missing a super payment.
20 votesThanks for sharing your idea on automating super payments.

AU Payroll - Suggestion to separate "Pay Wages" and "Pay Super" buttons in the payment flow
Recently XERO changed the Make Payment Button so that it now contains two payment steps ABA Download, and payment of superanuation. This is great but I am finding that because both processes take you away from the wages screen,(one is to the bank and the other to the SUPER approval process) the work does not flow easily. Is it possible instead to separate the two buttons so we would have PAY WAGES as one button and PAY SUPER as separate buttons?
20 votesHi there and thanks for your feedback.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can gather input from other users, and updated the title to reflect the request for separate buttons.
We appreciate you sharing how this change is affecting your workflow.

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.

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.
20 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.

AU Payroll - Ability to send Leave taken to a balance sheet
As per this post 3 years ago I have the same challenge.
https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00004DBrgFSAT/annual-leave-ledger-code-setup-in-payroll
Can Australia be configured the same as NZ by having ability to send Leave taken to a balance sheet leave liability account?

Xero Expenses - Ability to change 'How did you pay' through Xero Me app
Xero Expenses - be able to change an expense claim submitted by an employee through the Expense App as Personal money (reimbursable) to Company Money (non-reimbursable). Currently within Xero Expenses, you can change the 'How did you 'pay' on an employee's submitted expense only if it was processed as Company Money (non reimbursable). It would be good if we could also do it the other way round in that if an employee submits an expense on the app as Personal, it could be changed to Company.

Payroll AU: Reduce time to pay employee super funds
Xero is currently using Super House as their superannuation clearing house. Super House hold on to the funds for three days before transferring the funds on to the super fund.
This three day delay is not acceptable and goes against the principle of pay day super.
It should be noted that in the event of superannuation monies not being credited to an employees account within seven business days then the employer could be liable for penalties and not Super House.
Xero need to change clearing house providers or organise for Super Choice to pass on the funds the day after…
19 votesHi everyone thank you for your feedback on superannuation processing times. With the Payday Super changes and the 7-day requirement, we know speed is top of mind.
Currently, most super payments processed through Xero are transferred to fund providers on the 5th business day. You can read more about expected timeframes and legislation updates in our Payday Super FAQs.
We completely understand the demand for faster turnarounds. The entire industry is looking towards faster processing.
To help us gauge the impact on your business, we are moving this request to Gaining Support status. Please vote, comment, and share your experiences below so we can better understand your workflows and concerns.

AU Payroll - Add leave into pay run without creating leave request
Why cant small operators bypass the LEAVE function and approval process. If one of my workers has a sick day it would be far easier to simply adjust the payslip to 7.6 hours under the sick category and it then automatically deducts it from the leave balance. Same for holidays etc. Its quite time consuming for small operators.

If an employee does overtime which is TOIL, Xero should automatically pull this across into the leave allowances for the employee so that it can be taken. Currently you have to manually post everything which is time consuming.

UK Payroll - Option to turn off automated EPS
Like it says on the tin. Why do Xero send an unnecessary EPS each month when its not needed? If I want to change my payroll, great send the EPS when I approve it. If I make a late payment, send the EPS once I've finalised the payroll. But please stop sending pointless returns which makes me wonder what Xero is doing filing unnecessary data that is more likely to cause problems with HMRC than not given their systems.

Xero Me | Expenses - Add stops for Mileage Reimbursement
Add the ability to add stops to mileage reimbursement. This way a person can add a round trip or add stops between the round trip to collect all mileage for the 1 trip.
19 votesThanks for the idea and adding your interest here, everyone. In lieu of a direct feature to accommodate this atm, you may find duplicating the claim to record each part of a trip useful in cutting down the data entry. We'll let you know if there's any change planned here.

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
