AU Payroll - Turn off reminder to pay the employees and file the pay run
Allow us to turn off the pop up that shows when posting a pay run. I don't need reminders to pay the employees and file the pay run especially when I do payroll for 20+clients.

AU Payroll - Allocate annual leave, sick leave and superannuation to a Project/Job
Currently Xero does not assign annual leave and public holiday to a project/job as timesheet doesn't have this function.
Superannuation generates from payroll (pay run) , however, there is no place to allocate superannuation to different projects/jobs as well.3 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 - 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.3 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.

Notes Section
Notes Section-Would it be possible to add an attachment option to the Notes section, rather than only being able to add a written note? This would be useful for keeping supporting documents together with the relevant notes
2 votesHi Jariska, while it's not possible to add attachments within the History & notes section of a transaction, you can simply upload/attach the document within the transaction. This will not be available to the customer unless you select to include the document with the invoice. See more on this here.
Does this solve the needs you're after?

Payroll NZ: Process and pay deductions via payroll payment file.
It would be really helpful if Xero Payroll allowed a bank account to be linked to a specific employee deduction.
This would mean that when the deduction is processed through payroll, the amount could be included in the payment file and paid at the same time as the employee’s wages. Currently, these deductions need to be paid manually, which creates an unnecessary extra step and makes the process quite clunky.
Other payroll systems I’ve used, including PaySauce and iPayroll, already have this functionality.
It would also be useful where a deduction relates to a specific debt or loan for the…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea. Currently, the payment file generated by Xero is only for employees' wages, however I can understand how this might help manage statutory payments such as fines and child support.

UK Payroll - Bulk Export of Employee Data
UK Payroll - Bulk Export of Employee Data
We sometimes need to TUPE staff across from one payroll to another when a business changes hands. If both businesses use Xero, it would be really helpful to be able to bulk export the basic employee data from one and import it straight into a new Xero Payroll.
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea. While bulk exports are not currently on our roadmap, I can see the potential time savings.

Expenses - Submit expense and create new expense button
"Submit expense and make new"
When submitting an expense from using the submit button on the website you often need to submit another. It might be a good idea to have a UI control either a check box titled new expense upon submit" or an additional button titled "Submit and create New Expense" which lets one speed up the process of putting in multiple expenses.
2 votesThanks for sharing this feedback. Being able to save an expense and add another one straight away could make processing multiple receipts more efficient .
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this could improve your expense workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.

Payroll AU: Add Expiration Warning & Completion Alerts for Employee Self-Onboarding
I recently invited a new employee to self onboard-which is a great time saver. I put in a nominal expiry date and then I do not recall getting any notification that they had onboarded. A nice big notification in Xero when I logged in would have been great. I have been in and out of Xero all week for various other tasks and next minute I received an email saying their onboarding had expired. I had no option to retrieve her info and had to delete her and resend the invitation which made me look inept. Alternatively, Xero could keep…

NZ Payroll | Timesheets - Set timesheet default view to display draft/current period timesheets
Currently the screen shows the last processed timesheet, which in this case is last week's.
Having just selected the next period (for this current week) and created and saved a draft, that should be the period/timesheet I see on the screen. Instead it defaults back to last week, meaning in order to go and edit or approve this current week I have to go and select it again from the dropdown - extra clicks and steps that are unnecessary.
Please change the default view to the current week, or make it a user preference. I have no need to go…
2 votesAppreciate you raising this idea. Having Timesheets open directly to the current period could make it quicker to enter and review hours without adjusting the date each time.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and share which period you'd prefer as the default.

Payroll AU: entering minutes on pay runs
Be able to enter time on pay runs as minutes eg (0:35) or as decimals (0.5833)
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding minutes to pay runs! If your employees aren't already using timesheets, they can submit them using hours and minutes. For example, if an employee logs 7 hours and 35 minutes, Xero will automatically calculate this as 7.583 hours in the pay run.
Now that your idea is live, it’s up to the community to support it! Be sure to share it with colleagues who might benefit so they can add their vote. Other members can also leave comments to share how this feature would improve their experience with Xero.

Payroll AU - Auto Super: Move the "Mark as Paid" button
Is it possible to move the "Mark As Paid" button in the Super - Several times I have nearly clicked on this inadvertently when I am busy or going to answer the phone when I am processing this😮
2 votesI just wanted to provide a quick update on this idea.
We’ve recently made an update to the Mark as Paid flow to help prevent accidental clicks. An additional warning message now prompts you to re-confirm before completing the action.
We’ll continue to track support for this request. Make sure to share this page with any colleagues so that more feedback on this topic can be captured!

Payroll AU: Filter super payable by pay frequencies
Filter Super Payables by Payroll Run Name
Add a sort function to Super payable by Payroll Run Name
This will allow easy reconciliation of the super payment approval amount to the payroll run concerned.
We do multiple pay runs for different departments on 1 day so to be able to sort by pay run would be a great improvement & time saver.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about filtering super payments by individual pay runs rather than just by pay period.
As you noted, when multiple pay run schedules share the same period, the current filter doesn't separate them. As a workaround, you can open the specific pay run and select Make Payment > Pay Super, as this will group the superannuation exclusively for that specific pay run.

Payroll AU: Standalone pay calculation tool within Xero
It would be extremely useful to have a standalone pay calculation tool within Xero Payroll that allows users to preview an employee’s pay calculation without needing to create a draft pay run.
This tool could show wages, PAYG withholding, superannuation, net pay, earnings types, and multiplier calculations in one clear view.
This would allow payroll users, accountants, and bookkeepers to quickly confirm that employee pay templates are set up correctly, verify award rates, overtime, allowances, and changes, and confidently review calculations with clients before processing payroll.
It would reduce unnecessary draft pay runs, improve efficiency, and help prevent payroll errors.

Payroll AU: Archive pay runs over data retention period
Ability to Archive Old Payruns - I have a screen that is clogged up with payruns for long since departed employees and associated payruns from 10 years ago. Their employee files have been archived but the payruns still show up in the list. It is crowded and cumbersome. Please add the ability to archive in bulk please Xero?

Payroll AU: Display the Full Pay Period in a Pay Run
Feature Suggestion: Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
It would be extremely helpful if Xero could display the full pay period (From DD/MM/YY to DD/MM/YY) within the payroll pay window, rather than only showing the "Week Ending" date.
For example, instead of displaying:
Week Ending 05/07/2026
display:
Pay Period: Wednesday 29/06/2026 to Tuesday 05/07/2026
or
29/06/2026 – 05/07/2026I process payroll for multiple entities with different pay cycles and pay periods. Having the start and end dates clearly visible would make it much easier to confirm that the correct pay run is being processed, reduce the risk of errors,…

Payroll AU: Feedback on Onboarding Process and Superannuation Selection
Hi Xero Team,
I wanted to share my feedback regarding the recent onboarding options you've made available in the software. Overall, I'm quite happy with the new onboarding process.
However, a few issues have been occurring consistently over recent weeks that are now affecting multiple clients.
One notable flaw is that employees entering their own superannuation details often don’t understand what they should be selecting. We’ve had multiple instances where employees have accidentally selected self-managed super funds. As a result, when we process the super for that week—since we don’t handle payroll or add information for these clients—the entire batch…
2 votesHi, thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback on on this! We don't have any plans to change the employee self-onboarding process at the moment.
However, we’d love to learn more about everyone's experiences and gather more feedback from the community on how this is impacting your workflows.
To help us gauge interest, we’re moving this idea to Gaining Support. Please share this idea with your colleagues and encourage them to vote and add their feedback.
Regarding the history log for self-onboarding, we actually have a separate feature request dedicated specifically to that. We encourage you to check it out, cast your vote, and share your support here.

Expenses - Allow filtering and sorting of expense claims by payment method
Is it possible to create a filter by credit card, we have staff with credit cards and Amex, currently all expenses a mixed together and you cannot see what has been uploaded for the individual cards.
2 votesThanks for raising this suggestion. Being able to filter expense claims by credit card could make it quicker to review transactions, particularly if you're reconciling multiple company cards or reviewing specific card activity.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share more about what other filters will be useful.

Payroll AU: Process Negative RDO Units in Timesheets
Would like to see the option to have negative line items within timesheets and in the Employee Pay Templates.
Currently, in timesheets and pay template you cannot enter a negative units value. This would be useful when entering RDO deduction to hours worked.
EG, john works 40 hours (8 hours per day) and is deducted -4.hours for RDO adjustment (-.80 per day).
Per day = 8 Hours* $60 per hour, less -.8 RDO adjustment* $60 per hour = $432 for one day.
It would be useful to be able to enter the '-.80 RDO adjustment line' in the timesheet and…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea and letting us know you'd like to process negative RDO adjustments in timesheets. Based on how you're currently processing this, you'd need to add the adjustment to the draft payslip.

UK Payroll - Percentage-Based Payroll Tracking for Multi-Funder Allocation
Xero currently provides two tracking categories with multiple options, and also offers project tracking. However, these existing structures do not meet the needs of organisations that manage payroll funded by multiple external funders.
In many organisations, especially in the charity and grant-funded sector, a single employee’s payroll cost is often covered by three or more separate funding sources. These are not projects or internal cost centres. They are external funders who jointly or separately contribute to the cost of one employee’s role.
Current Limitation
Payroll does not allow direct allocation of an employee’s cost to multiple tracking category options linked…
2 votesHi Abimbola Thanks for the great explanation of how adding multiple tracking codes to payroll costs using percentages would streamline the process of allocating this to fund providers.
We can see how this would help with complex funding arrangements so have moved this to Gaining Support.
