UK Payroll - Ignore tax calculation if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" selected
For a new starter, if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" has been selected (A), then any tax and pay figures in the YTD fields should be ignored as they could have been entered for a P45 given for a previous tax year.
1 voteGood to hear your feedback to our last update. Monica and we can re-open your idea to get a sense of interest from the wider community, however want to be open that this isn't something we have direct plans of atm.
Just to re-iterate for others coming across this post - For new employee's, if this is their first job since the start of the tax year, you should not enter a P45 or any opening balances in their employee record. Leaving these sections blank ensures the system calculates their tax correctly based on their current circumstances.

UK payroll: naming convention for workplace salary sacrifice pension item.
Salary sacrifice pension when set up as the default pension scheme, enrols employees with a pension deduction item "Pension provider (NPA)"
Salary sacrifice and Net pay arrangements are entirely different and should not be confused.
Xero support have repeatedly told me it is an NPA so nothing needs to change but this is incorrect.
Would it really be too difficult to have it say (SS)?
It has caused huge upset and confusion among a few of my clients who have made a full move to salary sacrifice and there is no explanation from Xero, it is just wrong.

UK Payroll - Ability to edit the Leave approval notification email to employeese is approved.
I am looking to change the automatic text that is contained in the emails that my employees receive when their Payroll Admin approves their leave. Is there a way to access the template for these emails like there is for invoicing and purchase orders?

UK Payroll > Gross pay opening balance for non-taxable elements
the current opening balance figure are only taxable pay , i need gross pay. My client has salary sacrifice and the taxable pay is less than gross so on the payslip the YTD gross is wrong. its shows the YTD figure less the deduction.
1 voteHi Julia, thanks for sharing your idea about having non-taxable figures entered on the opening balances so that YTD figures reflect accurately on payslips.
From an HMRC compliance standpoint, Xero does calculate the correct tax because it captures the accurate "Taxable Pay" opening balance. However, we completely understand how the lack of a "Total Gross" field can cause confusing presentation issues on payslips after a mid-year migration.

AU Payroll - Allowance to contribute to leave rate in final pay
Have the option to select what all-purpose allowances are included in the final termination pay rate. This will ensure the correct leave loading is calculated on the full pay rate on the final termination payout.

AU Payroll: AutoSuper Functionality for non AU bank account formats
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.1 voteThanks 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.

AU Payroll - Option to hide self onboarding tab

AU Payroll - Right click to open Payrun in a new browser tab
I find that it's extremely annoying how you can't open up payruns and employee profiles from a right mouse click in a new tab. It would be nice if the UX could cater to this for smoother and faster movements. Also with new fixed assets it would be ideal if we could click the whole asset line rather than one tiny little link - would save a lot of frustration when bulk writing off assets. Overall it shows up in Xero in a few places and would make life a lot easier if we could use intuitive commands like Ctrl…

AU Payroll - Allow Pay Frequency updates (without deleting future Leave/Timesheets)
For pay frequency for an employee, it would be good to be able to change this even if the employee has a pending leave request. Future leave or unprocessed leave has no relationship to the pay frequency if I want to pay an unscheduled bonus or other payment. This is very limiting as I may not be in a position to approve or process the leave before I need to change a pay frequency on an employee.

AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines
Can we please show multiple annual salary on the payslip if there is more than one ordinary time earnings rates. I would like to show a "secondment wages" line when a person is hired by another firm for one day a week as a breakup on the payslip.
1 voteHi Michelle,
Thanks for sharing this suggestion.I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.
Currently, Xero payslips are optimized to show a single primary annual salary, which can make things a bit confusing for employees working across multiple rates or secondments. Allowing the payslip to break down multiple salary bases would definitely add a lot of clarity for both employers and staff.
I’ve updated the title to "AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines" to help other users with similar needs find and vote for it.
Quick Tip: In the meantime, many users use the "Notes" section on the individual's payslip to manually clarify the secondment rate, though we appreciate an automated solution is the goal!

UK Payroll - Allow non employees to add timesheets through the Web or Xero Me

UK Payroll - Reports - Backdate Posted Date/Payment Date functionality beyond August 2024
On the Gross to Net report, payments before August 2024 have a "posted date" set to the date the report was generated, which is incorrect. See attached example.
To reduce confusion, either:
- The Posted Date feature should be backdated so that payments before August 2024 show the correct "posted date"
- Payments before August 2024 should not state a "posted date" at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

STP Finalisation - Add a prominent warning before finalising to confirm the year
The lack of warnings, pop ups or anything relating to accidentally finalising STP for the wrong financial year is pretty disappointing.
I work on a large screen and didn't see the tiny little 2025-26 drop down menu top right. I've selected the employees to finalise and proceeded with the wrong year. At no point was there a warning, note, message or anything to bring light to it being the wrong year.

Expenses - Edit Submitter when awaiting approval
The expense reimbursement function should include an option to change the submitter after the request has been sent for approval, rather than declining the request and re-enter just to be able to update the submitter name in case of 'submitting on behalf'
Additionally, it should allow exporting the entered expenses into an Excel file to verify whether everything has been entered correctly. Currently, exporting is only possible once the request has been approved. This feature is especially important when there are numerous expense lines.
Furthermore, the screen layout feels a bit cramped. Could the input fields be arranged in a…

AU Payroll - Warning or prevent adding second SGC line to a pay template
When adding second line items in super. If (I did this so I know it is easy) you add a second SGC line for a fixed amount as well as a statutory amount it would be great if xero asked a warning question 'are you sure you want to add a second SGC contribution. OR if just isn't allowed. My understanding is a employer additional contribution would be the correct line item if employer and salary sacrificing if employee (pre or post tax). This will avoid an accidental overpayment of SGC.
