AU Payroll - Show number of employee's allowed depending on subscription
Display number of employee's allowed depending on the subscription they're on, in the Employee list screen.
3 votesHi there, we're aware it's been a while since you've raised this case, so wanted to update you. We've reviewed this idea and whilst showing the number of employees allowed directly in the pay run isn't in the pipeline, we can suggest a workaround.
To confirm the number of employees included in a posted pay run within the current calendar month, you can run the Payroll Employee Summary report and filter it by posted date
The pay run’s posted date determines which month it falls under.
It's important to note that the plan limits for employees per month isn't set by the number of active employees, but by the total number of employees paid during the calendar month.
This includes any terminated employees paid during the calendar month and employees that have been included in a pay run with a blank payslip.

AU Payroll - Make employee groups mandatory
Please give us the option to make Tracking Groups a mandatory selection on the Employee tab before Xero users can save a new employee. This will stop users from setting up new employees & forgetting to assign the Employee Group tracking group which results in misreporting
3 votesHi team, while we appreciate your feedback and why you'd like to make this field mandatory not all businesses use tracking for payroll. We want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for making the employee groups field mandatory.

AU Payroll - Change the formatting of the Employee Summary Report file name
Since the latest Payroll update there seems to be no functionality in Xero to change how the name of the Employee Summary report appears when saved. There are too many _ between words, for example: JoeBloggsPtyLtd-PayrollEmployee_Summary 4 June 2024.
So frustrating. Bring back the old style PDF format.

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.

Please can Heic file formats be accepted for images of receipts? There an issue with these going from CMAP and into Xero. I will raise this with CMAP as well.

Upload receipt
Xero Me - Company credit card receipts
One thing that MYOB did very well with their MYOB Assist app was the ability to Capture a Receipt. Take a photo, and it was added to Uploads to be matched to a transaction.
We do not use expense claims. Credit card transactions are reconciled daily, same as bank accounts.
In the Xero Me app, add a Capture a Receipt function, that will add the receipt to either Draft Bills, or Awaiting Approval.

PAYROLL Calculator
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.

Sub Leave Categories for Personal Leave
As our employees are only allowed a certain number of personal leave days without providing evidence, it would be great to be able to add sub leave types under the personal leave type that still reduces the overall accrual for Personal Leave but tracks how many hours/days they have taken without evidence. This is currently all done manually in a spreadsheet.

archive payrun
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?

P45
Why can the employee not have access to their P45 through XeroMe? If you can access payslips and P60s - surely it would make sense to access their P45.

defer emailing of payslips
Deferring emailing of payslips.
We pay fishermen on an adhoc basis, we normally prepare their crew share a few days prior to our fishermen client getting paid for this fish. We don't pay the crew until the client has been paid. It would be good if we could defer emailing of the payslip until the date of payment. this would be a nice function. at the moment, we have to remember to go back into the payrun on the day of payment which just adds time.2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
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,…

Notifications on payroll overview
It would be beneficial that under the payroll overview drop there would be number of notifications in every category. For example Leave 1 if there is one leave request and so on. Maybe a exclamation mark next to overview that there is something to action with. This way the payroll officer would spot the actioned items easily.

Change how Xero handles rounding in payroll calculations
UK Payroll - when the correct hourly rate is entered when setting up an employee, ensuring that it meets the requirement of the HMRC minimum / living wage, Xero should handle rounding in payroll calculations so that it does not create an unnecessary "under minimum wage notification". This notification means the calculation has to be checked, and additional work by adding an line adjustment to ensure the employee is not underpaid.
For example hourly rate £10.85. Hours worked 18.5. Total pay £200.725. Xero round this down to £200.72, which causes an "under minimum wage notification". In all other scenarios £200.725,…

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…

Need "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" option for ALL Rate Types
When setting up new payroll items there is only the option "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" on the "Multiple of Employees' ordinary earnings rate" and not " Fixed Amount" or "Rate per Unit".
When you have several ordinary earnings rates that are not multiples it's a problem as then leave is not accruing on the additional earnings rates.
To fix this all Xero needs to do is simply add the "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" checkbox on all items. I have asked Xero repeatedly over the last 4-5 years to add this feature and they give weak "workarounds"…

AU Payroll work pattern/rostering for Fulltime and Part Time Contracted Employees
Xero currently doesn't have a work pattern/rostering system in the back end of its Payroll system; it only has a pay template. I want to create work patterns for days/hours worked per day for each of my employees to streamline leave days/hours and provide visibility into my part-time staff. This would also help staff who are requesting a flexible work arrangement or a temporary contract variation after PPL, for example. A report could also be built on the back of this to identify staffing gaps. I have attached an idea of the functions required
