UK Payroll - Salaried employees who work changing shifts each week
In service industries like hospitality salaried employees will work a different set of shifts each week across 7 days. Currently I have to set up a working pattern and if they phone in sick on a Saturday for example if that day isnt set as their working day (i.e we set them up as Mon-Fri for ease) we have to record the sick day on the Monday to ensure it is deducted. But in these industries the working days are different each week and they dont work on a set pattern. Need the ability to set that the employee works…

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 - Report that shows for each employees earnings, super, tax and leave
What I need is for it to look like the Payroll Employee Summary, but with additional columns for Annual & Personal leave taken and the value of that leave.

NZ Payroll - Sick leave entitlements to automatically accrue when employees are included in any future pay run following their entitlement.
As a Chartered Accountant, I’ve observed an issue in Xero’s handling of sick leave entitlements that I believe warrants improvement. Currently, if an employee is not included in the pay run closest to their sick leave entitlement date, the entitlement does not accrue. This creates a significant gap in compliance with employment obligations and adds unnecessary administrative burden to correct.
To enhance the functionality and flexibility of Xero's payroll system, I think that sick leave entitlements should automatically accrue when the employee is included in any future pay run following their entitlement date. This adjustment would ensure compliance with employment…5 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Leave Request emails to show Organisation Name
Leave Request emails to show Organisation Name.
Currently, leave requests that come directly from Xero for an employee does not show which organisation the employee is from.
I have multiple businesses that I have payroll access and it is quite hard to recall all staff names from all businesses.
The subject line should show Jane Doh from XYZ Pty Ltd has requested leave. This would make identifying the company much simpler.5 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.

AU Payroll - Select multiple leave types in the Leave Balances report
I would like to be able to select the leave types in the leave balance report. As at today it gives you all leave types in the report. You cannot filter either as it only allows filtering of amount, employee group and units.
5 votesHi team, as you've noted there isn't a way to select multiple specific leave types in the Leave Balances report.
Right now you could run the report for all leave types, and click the leave type column header to sort the leave types together.
From here if you export to Excel you could then delete the rows of the leave types you don't want, and recalculate the totals such as amount.
Alternatively, you can select one leave type at a time and run the report for each required leave type.
We'll keep a track of the volumes of support this idea receives here and share if there are any updates.

AU Payroll - Reports for Timesheet Approver
As an approver of timesheets i see there are couple of issues which can make the process water tight.
1.Ability to see approved time sheets (siimilar to leaves). Currently once the timesheet is approved for an individual there is no way to check what has been approved
2.Ability to run a report for all employees that have been approved or alternatively ability to allow access to certain reports to the approver.

GL Payrun - Bulk upload payroll details
Hello,
I wanted to take a moment to share a suggestion that I believe could significantly simplify our payroll process. It involves the implementation of a bulk upload feature, which would allow us to handle payroll data in a more efficient manner. We will need a template that contains essential details for each employee. These details may include the employee's name, rate of salary, and various pay items relevant to their compensation. This would reduce the time and effort invested in processing payroll.
Thank you,Best regards,
5 votesThank you for sharing and engaging with us about this on Product Ideas, team. While we understand wanting to see developments, as you may have recently read - We’ve been offering Pay Run to our Global Edition customers since 2011 to provide basic payroll functionality. However, over the years, we’ve focused our efforts on making solutions available which offer enhanced features and a deeper integration with the Xero platform, such as Xero payroll in AU, NZ and UK, we've also seen newer payroll solutions in regions available through the Xero App Store (such as Gusto in US).
With this focus, we’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs…

NZ Payroll: Generate and send payslips before posting pay run
Ability to email payslip before the pay run is posted. This way the employee can come back to the pay clerk with any feedback on hours or allowances before the pay run is completed and filed through to myir. The reduces the need to revert the pay run before the "final" posting and payment made to employees. Reverting the pay run impacts on IRD when IRD have begun their processing as they have to do a manual amendment to pick up any changes once the pay run is re-posted. I have advised by IRD they have to make manual amendments…
5 votesHi everyone, I wanted to provide an update on this idea. As you're aware, In Xero it's not possible to email payslip to employees before posting the pay run.
As mentioned here, the workaround is to manually download the payslips and handle this outside of Xero.
We want to be up front, our product team don't have any plans to develop a feature to email the payslips from a draft pay run.
We know this isn't the answer you were looking for. Please continue to support ideas on this forum as it really does help drive the future of Xero.

Classic Expense Claims widget - reinstate it
It is a nonsense that Xero has removed the Classic Expense Claims widget from the homepage. I have been using it for 11 years and it is unacceptable that this has just been taken away - now we have to pay more for the new Expenses module if we want it to feature on our homepages. This is the type of product deterioration under the guise of “improvement” which brings tech companies into disrepute. Just put it back please :(

Payroll AU: Unscheduled pay run "payment date" automatically be todays date
When doing an Unscheduled pay run, to have the "payment date" automatically change to todays date, or have a pop up saying to check date.
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea about the payment date of unscheduled pay runs. If you're making a correction to a old pay run, in most situations you'll want the payment date to match that of the pay run you're making corrections for. However understand this is not always the case.

UK Payroll - Working weeks in year default
I would like the facility to change the default number of working weeks in the year. We work to 52.14 weeks per year and as Xero works on 52 weeks as an unchangeable default, the minimum wage checks - a useful feature - become meaningless
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, I understand that with weekly payroll you can sometimes end up with 53 pay weeks in a year, and 364 days is not entirely 1 year.
