AU Payroll - Add Super payment status to Pay Employees Screen
Add a column similar to the STP Filing one in the Pay Employees Screen to show whether the super for the payrun has been included in a payment yet or not.
This way at a quick glance all users will be able to see that the super has been included in a batch and sent for payment - or whether the batch it was in has failed etc...
If it was forgotten to submit the super on the prior payrun it will be picked up quicker.18 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll - Add additional Payroll employee for a charge
Please allow adding on an extra employee for payroll in Australia, as is possible in the UK.
The Ignite plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add an extra employee means paying more than double, which is cost prohibitive.
Most businesses don't need the add on and accounting tools when you move up to Grow or Comprehensive - allowing for an extra payroll add on for a small charge, would be beneficial for family and small businesses.18 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting how important flexible payroll options are for your business.
We understand that needing to upgrade your plan just to add a few more employees can feel limiting—especially for growing businesses. Being able to add employees on a per-user basis could offer a more cost-effective and flexible solution.

AU Payroll - Long Service Leave report to show start date
It would assist us if the Leave Accrued Report could also show the employee's start date. Long Service Leave is only applicable to staff from the 5 or 10 year mark for us in NSW but to ascertain whether staff are eligible for it is requiring external spreadsheets that have to be manually adjusted each month. Xero already has the functionality to enable this so it can't be hard to action.

UK Payroll - Allocate Employers NIC cost to more than one account
A number of my client are service businesses and as such all of the payroll costs should be posted either to a Cost of Sale account for Operational staff or Overhead for support staff. I can achieve this for all costs except for Employer NIC cost, which has to be manually moved. It would be beneficial if the NIC could go to an NIC GL dependent upon the type of basic pay chosen.

AU Payroll - Set organisation defaults for 'hours a full-time employee works in a Weekly pay period'
Many of my clients prefer a 37.5 hour work week (7.5 hours a day) to a 38 hour work week (7.6 hours a day).
I am able to set the leave accruals to a 7.5 hour day but the standard work week in "'Assign default leave types" is always 38 hpw and I have to manually change it to 37.5 to match the leave accrual.
I can remember to do this but many of my clients do their own employee set-up and will not remember to change that 38 hour work week to 37.5 each time they set up a…17 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

UK Payroll: Timesheets to include start and finish times
It would be super helpful if an employee could enter start and finish times, plus any unpaid breaks, into their timesheet and Xero would calculate the number of hours worked. That way it would be easier for the employer to check what they are approving.

Xero Expenses - Ability to bulk import Expenses
Problem
The migration to the new Xero Expenses module has created a significant regression in workflow efficiency. Specifically:No bulk entry path exists. Organizations processing high volumes of expenses must manually create each item one-by-one through the new expense form — which is itself slower and more cumbersome than the legacy interface it replaced.
The API is a dead end. Both the Receipts and ExpenseClaims endpoints are marked DEPRECATED, yet no replacement public API has been introduced for the Xero Expenses module. Receipts submitted via the deprecated API don't surface anywhere in the current Expenses UI. This means integrators and…
16 votesThanks for re-raising the idea with us here, Ben. We'll see if this idea gains support from more community users and please do share if there are others that you feel would benefit from this too sop they can add their support.
In terms of the API we have a separate idea forum where these ideas can be raised and experts that are better suited to handle and review these sort of requests.
I've found an idea for an API for the Xero expense feature that you may like to support for this.

AU Payroll - Medicare levy surcharge
It would be good for Xero to add a Medicare Levy surcharge option for a percentage in the Taxes tab of employee set-up.
Currently if an employee wants a percentage taken we have to manually adjust each pay run to ensure the correct amount is taken and and reporting to ATO is therefore done correctly.
Leaving something as important as this to human error is not a good idea.16 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding the Medicare levy to AU payroll tax calculations.

UK Payroll - option to bulk include/exclude all Employees from pay run.
For catering companies, or any business with many employees or recurring weekly staff, payroll can become stressful and very time-consuming. This is because all employees need to be unticked before running payroll for only those who actually worked in that specific week. Other companies face the same issue as well. Is there any shortcut to untick all employees at once before preparing payroll for the employees who actually worked in that week?
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes and comments on this idea. It’s clear that a simple 'Untick All' option when creating a pay run would save you a lot of time. We understand that manually deselecting employees one by one is time consuming, especially for those who have a large number of employees but only need to process a pay run for a few. We will keep this idea updated as we move through any design and development phases.

Payroll Journals - Customise Description for Transaction Reports to provide better context
When running reports to review Staff costs & looking into account transactions, Payroll journals provide descriptions that don't give correct/clear context. For example, under Employers Pension Contributions, the description provided is "Benefits" rather than Employers Pension Contributions. Or under Employment Costs it just says Earnings rather than "Gross Earnings". A final example was when an employee took unpaid leave, however the only description provided was "Deductions". This does not reflect clear context. It would be helpful if Xero had the means to be able to customise these descriptions or maybe have the option to ask Payroll/Reports to mirror the descriptions…
16 votesHi Sophie ✨, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We're well aware how the generic descriptions in pay run journals can be confusing when they don't align with your specific payroll settings. We understand that you've been using workarounds like exporting reports to Excel and manually editing them to get the detail you need. While this can help in the short term, we recognize it is a time-consuming process that shouldn't be necessary.We've shared your valuable feedback with our product team. As with all new features, we have to balance this against other development priorities. We can't promise a specific timeline, but the more support an idea gets, the higher it climbs on our list. Please continue to vote and comment on this and similar ideas to show your support. We'll be sure to provide another update when we can✨

UK Payroll - Average Employee Numbers in the Year
Average Employee Numbers in the Year
As part of preparing accounts, the average employee number is often required. If this could be generated within Xero that would save time collating the number of employees per month and working out an average for the year. It could subsequently be used as working out the amount of revenue attributable to each staff member.
16 votesIt’s been a bit since this idea was first raised, so we wanted to check in. To help you get the info you’re looking for, we’ve added Start and Termination dates to the Employee Contact Details report.

UK Payroll - Change employee regular earnings in draft pay run
Payroll:
Allow changes to employees' regular earnings details even when a draft pay run is in progress. If an employee's rate needs to be changed, they should be unticked or deselected in the draft pay run.
Currently, the entire pay run needs to be deleted, even if only one out of fifty employees needs a rate change, doubling the time spent on preparing the pay run. All calculations for overtime, leave, reimbursements, and deductions will need to be redone.
Hopefully, this can be considered.
Thanks!
16 votesHi Tracy, thanks for submitting your idea on updating an employee's earnings without needing to delete the whole draft pay run. We understand excluding the employee temporarily would save time.
