AU Payroll - Filter Super payables by employee group
Add Super payment sort function
Could you add a feature that allows sorting by location? Since our employees are spread across multiple locations, this would help us group and process payments more efficiently by location.9 votesHi Cilla, thanks for sharing this idea.

AU Payroll - Email previous payslips from Employee PaySlip History
Ability to send an employee payslip from individual employee PaySlip History either singularly or multiple payslips as requested by employees. Instead of having to go into each pay run to re-send payslips.
9 votesThanks so much for sharing the idea to email historic payslips from directly in the Employee record.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support and will be keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from other users.
In the meantime, a handy workaround is to tick the payslips you wish to send from the employees record and then download them and attach to an email.

AU Payroll - ABN exempt non-employee contractors
I hope Xero will soon introduce the feature for ABN exemption for non-employee contractors, as there are cases that they are ABN exempt. I'm sharing the ATO link with you for your reference, https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/statement-by-supplier-not-quoting-an-abn?

AU Payroll - Warning when TFN not entered
When an employee onboards and doesn't have a Tax File Number (TFN) either because they are new to Australia and have just applied for one or they are under 18 and exempt. Xero should have a feature that warns you when they either turn 18 or they have passed the 28 days allowed to work without a TFN and it should automatically change their tax declaration to no TFN provided and change the tax withheld rate, until a TFN is provided. There also needs to be a constant warning in each pay run, 'this person is over 18 and does…

AU Payroll - Long Service Leave's Liability calculated and 'live' for reports within Xero
LSL liability calculations are currently handled externally to Xero.
It would be nice to have a system which could automatically track LSL on staff, similar to asset depreciation.9 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Set default leave types (paid out/not paid out)
Currently, when you assign a leave type to a new employee, for all leave types other than annual leave and personal leave you have to go into that leave type on the employee card and manually change the leave settings to what should be the default for all employees. For example, RDOs should always be paid out on cessation of employment, but the default setting is "not paid out", and I cannot change the default setting, only each individual's settings.
I should be able to set what the default settings are, to reduce the likelihood of stuffing it up.

AU Payroll - Reinstate order of payroll activity summary report
Sometime in the last week, the order in which data is presented in the Payroll Activity Summary report has changed from
- Earnings
- Tax
- Super
- Net payable
- Actual paid
to
- Earnings
- Net payable
- Actual paid
- Super
- TaxPut it back, please, it makes no sense to have something other than Wages less Tax equals Payable. Also reinstate the highlighted total lines in this report and in the Payroll Employee Summary, I'm ashamed to send this to my client with their IAS, it's not readable enough.
The two screenshots I've attached are…

UK Payroll - Automatically include bank holidays and annual leave on Timesheets
Why can't Xero make editing a timesheet easier by automatically showing bank holidays and any days off that have been entered as holiday?
If the timesheet showed bank holidays or days where time-off has been allocated in a different colour or with an asterisk by the date then checking timesheets against time-cards would be much more straight forward.

UK Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Flag duplicate leave entries on the same day
We are extracting leave data through API to manage resourcing including leave booked. We have a few cases of employees with duplicate leave on the same day entered and approved in error. It would be great to see a flag or warning pop up to approvers and payroll admins where more than a standard number of hours leave is applied to a given day. The number of hours comprising a working day could ideally be set for each employee.9 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

UK Payroll - Alert/limit for submitting negative leave balances in Xero Me
Create an alert or ability to set a limit that is shown when an employee is trying to submit a leave request that will put them in a negative balance.
8 votesHi everyone, this idea has been created to track UK user interest in this feature. It has been split from the original request, as our Payroll features are generally developed separately across each region.
Being upfront, we don't have any plans for this at present, however it is something we would like to understand the wider interest from our community.
Make sure you share this idea with any colleagues that this would benefit so they can add their vote and share how this could improve their Xero experience.

Payroll AU: Mandatory Emergency contacts in Self-Onboarding
Mandatory Emergency contact
Have Emergency contact as mandatory in the self onboard for employees.
We still need emergency contacts on file but I have found that if it is not mandatory the new employee doesn't fill it in.8 votesThank you for taking the time to share this idea!
At this stage, we don't have plans to make Emergency Contacts a required field during Self-Onboarding. However, we're continuously looking to learn more about how our customers use Self-Onboarding.
If this is a feature you'd like to see, please cast your vote and share this page with colleagues who might find it helpful! Additional comments detailing how Self-Onboarding can improve your daily admin are always appreciated.

AU Payroll - Process Negative Total Super Contributions in a Super Batch
With the upcoming PayDay Super deadline, we need the ability to process a negative total Super Contribution Category in a Super Batch. I've recently had the scenario where an employer added and incorrect Super Category to the employee's pay, and then paid the super. When processing the payroll for the following week we discovered the error, reversed the pay, created it again with the correct super category and then recorded the current (2nd) weeks pay. There were 2 lines in the Pay Super from the previous week, a positive & negative (net amount $0, negative one to reverse incorrect super…
8 votesHi everyone, thank you for raising this with us ahead of payday super.
Whilst our product team have reviewed this closely, due to the way the Automatic Superannuation payment works, the ability to include negative payments is unlikely to be on our roadmap. The idea has been moved to Not in Pipeline and voting for this idea remains open.
We appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but at the moment your approach to this situation aligns with what we recomend.
However if there's any change to the way Automatic Superannuation payments work that will allow our product team to review this idea, we'll let you know.

Expenses - Pick Expenses attendees from directory
I’d like to submit a feature request for an enhancement to Xero Expenses, specifically around team meal and group expense submissions.
Current Challenge
When employees submit expenses such as team meals, client lunches, or group events, there is currently no built-in way to select the attendees from within the organisation.At the moment, users can only enter attendee details manually (e.g., typing names into the description), which leads to:
-inconsistent formatting
-missing attendee information
-difficulty auditing expenses
-additional work for finance teams during review and P11D/PSA reportingRequested Feature
We would like Xero Expenses to include an attendee field that…8 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll - Maximum leave accrual limit or expiry dates for leave types.
It would be good to make it possible to either set a maximum leave accrual, or set an expiry date for leave. An example where it could be used would be study leave. We have an agreement with employees that gives them 7 days of study leave per year. Any unused study leave is forfeited after two years. Currently we have to manually monitor and adjust the leave.

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
8 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group
Could you look into allowing employee groups to allow the set up different employee group with distinct expense accounts for direct cost based employees versus administrative staff (for example). this provides a better way to categorize and track labor costs as either direct costs or expenses (variable versus fixed)
