  1. More and more clients are collecting information on what allergies employees might have, it would be nice to have a field to keep this information on in Xero. It's is becoming a health and safety issue

  2. Add Super payment sort function
    Could you add a feature that allows sorting by location? Since our employees are spread across multiple locations, this would help us group and process payments more efficiently by location.

  4. Put Pay items in alphabetic order. Why has this changed in the first place and why is it not possible to fix? When you need numerous pay items for different areas and times of the day it is SO time consuming to have to scroll through every item to find the one you need. And they there are a lot that are similar so you have to concentrate on exactly what you need. This is such a VERY basic need, I can't believe it's not fied back to what it was a month ago.

  6. In the Budget Manager, would it be possible to display account codes in a separate column and sort the list by code? Currently, the account code and account name are shown together, which makes sorting and reviewing accounts more difficult.

  7. 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.

    Thanks 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.

    We’ve reviewed your idea, and now it’s up to the community to get behind and support it! Make sure to share this with any colleagues who might benefit so they can add their votes too.

  8. Currently AutoSuper is not working if one has a Wise AUD bank account.
    This would be highly advantageous for those that run their business entirely through Wise and don't use an Australian local bank.

    Thanks for sharing your idea!

    I wanted to let you know that it is possible to use Wise accounts for auto super payments; however, if the Wise base account is not the AU-specific account, the format will not follow the standard requirement of: BSB 000-000, Account 00000000.

  9. We have constant feedback that we are not paying people in full because the field Annual Salary Field doesn't include allowances

    Can it be the Grossed up salary package?

    Thanks for sharing your idea about having the total salary package amount showing on the on payslips.

    Currently only employee’s ordinary earnings rate make up the annual salary visible on payslips.

  10. For any fixed salary employees, there should be an option to automate their regular (fortnightly/monthly) payruns. There's no reason why I need to manually create these for fixed salary employees.

    Any changes to salary or leave balances etc are all managed separately via their respective employee records or leave requests.

    Thanks so much for sharing this idea about being able to search or sort the superannuation funds list.

    We’ve now reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining support, so the wider Xero community can vote and comment to show how adding search and sort options for super funds would improve their workflow too.

  13. The report can show a list of all current employees includes basic info e.g. DOB, Gender, employment start date, job title, Annual Salary Amount, fixed allowances, Super rate etc.; This report will be helpful for internal HR reporting purpose. Otherwise, HR will need to collect info piece by piece & summarize it manually.

    Thanks for sharing your idea about a New Zealand payroll report that includes full employee details as well as earnings information.

    Currently, you need to export multiple reports and collate the information outside of Xero.

  15. I have a client that often has employees opt to pay into varying bank accounts from pay to pay. There is no option to change the default bank account, you either need to manually change it or add the amount to the bank account that the employee wants to be paid into, it is very manual and cumbersome and is prone to human error. An option to change default bank account would assist with this and also eliminate all those annoying change of bank account emails that Xero send through.

  16. The customer field box really needs a search bar. Having to scroll through 500 customers is very tiresome. There should be a search bar for every field to be honest. It does exist on the browser version, but not the app version.

  17. PAYSLIP NOTES - move to top of payslip! No-one reads the very bottom of their payslip! Notes are likely to be the most important information on that document, so show it first.

  19. We have our own onboarding system and won't use the onboarding tab, it would be great to have the option to remove or hide this as its just in the way. I use current and past employees and click this by mistake frequently which I find very frustrating.

  20. Adding physical receipts as a New Expense, currently it is not an option to add the expense, approve it and pay it all on the same screen! this would reduce multiple screen requirements and delay in processing, also assist with reconciliation.
