Global Pay Run - Ability to select payable account for Deductions, Taxes and Post-tax Deductions pay types
The feature request is to allow the defining of current liability accounts for pay items with pay types set to Deductions, Payroll Taxes, and Post-tax Deductions. This will enable the tracking of payroll source deductions and taxes necessary for remittance reports to the tax authority (such as EI, CPP and income taxes for T4 and T4 summary completion in Canada).
There are two ways I believe Xero developers could achieve this goal.
Below is an explanation of what currently happens during pay runs:
For pay items with a pay type set to Wages, Allowances, or Non-taxable Allowances, the journal entry…
2 votesThanks for sharing and engaging with Product ideas. While we understand wanting to see improvements to Global Pay Run, however as you may have recently read -
We’re making some changes 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 after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
With this update we want to be upfront here that we don't have any intentions of further developing Global Pay Run, and will close this idea.
For AU, NZ or UK businesses we have Xero payroll which is specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. You can see more information of…

Xero Me - remove dog from loading screen
Please can you remove the dog animation from the Xero Me app as a matter of urgency? It is unnecessary and has repeatedly caused anxiety issues for me (and I'm sure others like me) who suffer from a severe fear of dogs. It's just awful for me to use the app now - the previous expenses app had no issues in this regard. It should be replaced by a more relevant animation such as a timer. If this cannot be done, I will have to switch to Quickbooks.
2 votesHi Andrew, understand being quite niche this idea hasn't picked up much traction from the community here.
That said, we appreciate the stress this causes and though I understand you've also approached our specialists at Xero Support thought it would be worth sharing this for others here too - The best method to completely avoid this loading screen for the time being would be to use your web browser from your mobile device.
Having connected with our product team they may look at possible changes in the long term, but we don't have immediate plans to change this screen. I'll move your idea here to Not planned, however if our position changes in the future we'll update you again. Thanks

Expenses - Link Employee to Contact
Since we ultimately want to see how much each employee is spending and since employees must be set up as a contact - We should be able to link the employees User Id to their contact. This way all the expenses submitted will show up as spend money transactions under the contact for each employee.
Obviously right now the employee could choose themselves as the contact when they submit the expense report but more often than not, they will not.
Having the contact linked to the user id will be particularly helpful for reconciling credit cards since the contact info…

AU Payroll - Automatically transfer PAYGW and Superannuation liabilities to separate bank account
My small business client came up the idea that when we download the aba file for our payroll, it would be great to have the option to pay total PAYGW & super liabilities into a nominated bank account.
This sets aside the money ready for the BAS'es, IAS'es and super.2 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.

Expenses - Option to include employee's expenses on customer's invoices
Most businesses have their employees incur expenses, such as mileage, which are chargeable to their clients. This means that the expenses need to both be added to invoices to clients and paid back to employees. This should really be done by simply getting employees to submit their expenses using, for example Hubdoc. However, at the moment, the systems available allow to to only one of the 2 things described above thus creating a lot of unnecessary admin work and potential inconsistencies between what has been charged to clients and what has been paid to employees.
In large companies there is…

AU Payroll - Payroll Activity report to show leave entitlements in draft pay runs
Before posting a payroll, when you run the "Payroll Activity" report, include the leave entitlements about to be posted not just the pay items.
So when you download a report to do a final check before posting payroll you can check ALL payroll activity not just half of it !
2 votesHi Kristen, appreciate you sharing in product ideas here. While this isn't something we have plans for I wanted to confirm you can currently check leave accruals by clicking on the employee's payslip prior to posting the pay run.
Once the pay run's posted, before it's filed, you could run the report and find any issues, and revert it back to draft to make changes if necessary.

Global Pay Run - Hide Voided Pay Run from Main Pay run page
Hiding Voided Pay Run from showing on the Main Pay Run Page.
It will be great to have a functionality that allows you hide payruns that have been voided from showing on the main payrun list.
When approved payruns cannot be edited, the only option is to void and create a new one. If a functionality can allow editing approved pay run, then there will be no need. But now, we need to have a function to hide the voided payruns.
A screenshot has been attached for clearer understanding for voting and implementation.

Expenses - Automatically recognise and code expenses from repeat suppliers
It would be nice if expenses could learn and assign a specific account automatically to expenses from a regular supplier.
The process could be:
1) I take a photo of a receipt
2) The analyse feature reads the receipt and fills in the date, supplier and amountTHE NEW BIT:
3) Expeses realises this is a supplier I've analysed a receipt from recently and codes it to the account I coded it to last time2 votes -
Global Payroll: Dedicated Payroll product to replace Global Pay Run
I cannot be the only Global Platform user that has now been waiting for basic payroll feature improvements in the Global version for over 4 years now.
Critical features that are not available include:
- Ability to add logo and YTD balances on pay slips
- Template payroll emails when sending pay slips (have to type it every time now)
- Timesheet option that syncs / built into payroll. Or at minimum an import option.
- Holiday / sick pay / leave tracking
- Basic employee portal for them to view pay slips and leave balances, and basic core info…2 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding Global Pay Run.
To be open and upfront we don't have direct plans for making changes within the Pay Run feature in the foreseeable future.
You may like to look into connected apps for a payroll solution that could suit your business.
We'll be sure to let you know if there's any change around this.

AU Payroll | Employee - Second Emergency Contact Option
Could we please have an option to add a second emergency contact for our employees.
Currently when creating a new employee we only have one space for an emergency contact. However, in the case of an actual emergency only one contact may not be enough, a second contact gives a much higher chance of being able to get in contact with someone.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here.
We appreciate being able to easily add a secondary emergency contact to the details tab of the employee record is important to you.
Atm, you could use the notes tab to add a new note to the employee record and include the details in here.
To be open we don't have direct plans for making this change within the details tab any time in the near future.

Xero Expenses - Add custom fields for SARS
EXPENCE MODULE - TRAVEL - NOT TAX (SARS) COMPLIANT
Xero Expenses currently captures the following for mileage claims: date, distance, and a description. This is wholly inadequate for South African tax compliance and exposes every South African business using Xero Expenses for travel reimbursement to material tax risk.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) prescribes specific logbook requirements under the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 and the Seventh Schedule thereto. A valid SARS travel logbook must record the following for every trip:Date of travel

Central Location for Payroll Information Across my Client Base
I need a way to look across my client base (without needing to go into each individual Xero file) to ensure payruns have been posted and superannuation payments are up to date please. This has become even more important for my business given the Payway Super changes coming from 1 July 2026. Thanks

Total hours calculated on payslips
Payslips need to have an option to show total hours paid to employees. Currently it isn't clear at a glance to employees or for auditing that paid hours total worked hours. Having this automatically calculate based on the approved timesheet and tallied at the bottom (alongside the this pay $ perhaps) would be ideal.

AU Payroll - Superannuation payment date selection
Ability to future date/set a specific date for automatic superannuation payments the same way that you can set a payment date for the Pay Runs.
In the situation where there is a holiday period such as Christmas/New year payroll administrators may process payroll/s in advance with a future payment date. Payday super requires that the super is paid on pay day, however if the automatic super payment batch is processed in advance it will pay the super immediately and not at the same future date as the payroll payment. If you can select a specific payment date for payroll, you…

uk timesheet line delete
When editing or approving timesheets there is an option on the right hand side of the timesheet line to delete. This is presented as a trash icon. when you press this for a particular week, it then subsequently deletes this line if all other weeks within the payroll period with no warning. Could you implement a simple warning message for a user to click ok advising them that this action will result on deleting that particular line for all weeks of the pay period. Screenshot attached.

Multiple approves of superannuation
With the introduction of PayDay Super in Australia, could we have the ability to have more that one approver of Superannuation payments. Obviously, it will be critical that superannuation payments are made on a timely basis, and having more than one approver would allow for illness and holidays.
