It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE ONLY", with it pending approval by Manager via XeroMe
It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE CHANGES", with it remaining as pending approval by Manager via XeroMe. It only gives the option to Reject or Approve? We really need 3 options. Save, Reject, Approve.

mark leave balances as paid
It would be great if Sick leave Logged after closing of the month would go to next Payment run. At the moment its just sitting there showing as Unpaid, even though it was paid. Or if would be possible to mark it as paid manually.

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.

NZ Payroll - Efficient timesheets data entry and display
Make the New Layout as Efficient/Productive as the Classic Layout. It takes too many mouse clicks to set up the timesheets, compared to the Classic Layout:
1) The Classic Layout had "weeks" for the employer to choose. It didn't require you to click the starting date & the finish date. Can the New Layout have the most recent unpaid week already present, so that the employer/manager can immediately input the hours for each day?
2) The Classic Layout allowed me to click each employee & immediately input their hours. The New Layout does not. This wastes time & makes me…2 votesHi Junn Thanks for sharing your feedback about what you enjoyed in the old timesheet layout.
We don't accept ideas for removing or reverting to a previous experience as this forum is specifically for new ideas.
However we appreciate the points you've raised about productivity gains that you'd love to see in the new experience, so we have moved this to gaining support.

UK Payroll - Add Project time tracking in draft pay run rather than timesheets
Currently there is no option to allocate payments to projects in payslips. We have on multiple occasions, allocated payments to projects as a manual journal due to payments for payroll not being allocated to projects in timesheets. It is frustrating as you only realise when checking project profit/loss and quite time consuming.
2 votesThanks for letting us know you're keen to see greater integration between Projects and Payroll.

UK Payroll: Default payment reference for Xero wage payments
I'd like to change the default payment reference that appears when I'm paying my employees through payroll in Xero. Currently, it shows "weekly wages" but I'd like it to default to my company name "CS UK Logistics" since I run both weekly and monthly payroll.

AU Payroll - Payslips message - remove character limit
The character limit for the "Individual message for [employeefirstname]" input box on the payrun appears to be 300 characters. Please remove that limit so that I can list the titles of the jobs that the employee is being paid for at the rates shown in the Earning Rates section.

UK Payroll - Add tracking to NI, PAYE & pension
I would like to be able to allocate a team tracking category to each employee on our payroll, this way when the payroll journal pulls through, each employees salary, Er NI, pension costs and any benefits will automatically be allocated to their team.
I do quarterly reporting for our client and as it currently is, each quarter I will have to manual journal all the above accounts from an unassigned 'team', back into the same account but allocated to their correct team. I will have to work out the amounts to credit out looking at the detailed report and manually…

UK Payroll - Previous Payroll ID field to be optional or opt-out clearer
Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID. Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could…

AU Payroll - process payments for wages and super using .aba
Include Super in payroll .aba export.
Why does Super need to be treated differently to the other bank transfers included in a payroll .aba export? Include the transfer to the Super clearinghouse with the other transfers so we can skip the extra steps and external authorisation process (which is just weird and disconnected from everything else Xero).2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We want to be transparent that adding superannuation payments into the payroll .aba export isn’t in our product team's pipeline.
This is because super payments need extra information that an .aba file can’t carry, such as a member number, USI, TFN etc.
.aba files are designed for standard electronic bank payments, so they can't upload this complex data in the file format required for super contributions.
For more detail on the changes coming with Payday Super from 1 July 2026, I’d recommend our Xero Central article. We’re also rolling out improvements to Auto Super and streamlining the payment workflow in Xero, so paying super after each pay run will be faster, easier and remain SuperStream compliant.

UK Payroll - Calculate pension contributions on pre-Statutory earnings
I Would like Xero to create a built-in feature whereby Employer pension contributions stay the same even during Statutory Pay Periods e.g. SMP or SSP.
This is common in medical practices where the practice must pay contributions based of the employees salary as opposed to the rate of SSP or SMP.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about keeping employers' contribution rates fixed while an employee is on statutory leave.
I wanted to let you know that it is currently possible to set pension contributions to a fixed amount, however appreciate this workaround won't suit everyone, especially those managing multiple employees.

AU Payroll - Process payroll from Xero accounting app.
Would love to be able to access payroll data and process payroll from ipad app. Instead of having to loggin into safari or google to lodge payroll. I can nearly use every aspect of my daily xero usuage through the app and then need to log in somewhere seperately to do payroll. To be able to do it on the app as well would be amazing
2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about a dedicated Xero Payroll app! As you're aware the Xero mobile app is a companion to the main Xero web platform. It allows you to monitor finances on the go like creating invoices, and reconciling transactions. Because it is a companion app, it doesn't include all of Xero's web features such as payroll.
We appreciate your feedback, and we agree that having a fully dedicated Xero Payroll app could be incredibly useful for managing your team on the move.

It would be good to see deductions being set up for a fixed amount to deduct each pay until a total amount is reached with the option of paying the deduction to a third party bank account. Having to complete this manually and keep track is archaic!

UK Payroll > Provide a warning before you delete a timesheet line
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.
