UK Payroll - Auto schedule pay runs and filings
For clients we have with director only payroll, if we could schedule all the filings and pay runs to be done automatically and we just get a pop up box just before they go to confirm nothing has changed for a number of different clients rather than one at a time? I believe Sage Payroll are working on this and Keypay payroll system can already do this too. Just wondering if there's anything on the radar for Xero to to the same?

Xero expenses - Ability to create custom template
Many organisations pay staff tax free money when they work away from the office more than 24 hours. Currently there is no expense claim format that allows this type of reimbursement to be entered.
Is it possible to have flexibility to create our own expense templates?

Expenses Payments - Auto-Populate Approved Amount
Generally working in Xero is very efficient. However, when paying approved expense claims (and recording the payment) I have to constantly switch between keyboard to type in the payment amount (which is displayed in a cell above) and the mouse to select the payment date and payment account. I can't imagine a scenario when the amount paid is not the amount approved. Why is this cell not pre-populated with the approved amount? If it was it would halve the time it would take me to register payments against expense claims.

UK Payroll - Download and send reports
Hi there,
I am using payroll manager currently for all my client payroll services, and xero does not provide reports like HMRC monthly payment, P32, I can see it but can not download it to send to my client for payment. Also no employee wage report whereby my client see all deductions/additions and pay net wage to all staffs.
Please check this software https://moneysoft.co.uk/payroll-manager-overview/ this is far best software so far and probably all accounting practices are using it because its user friendly and provide too comprehensive report to clients and employer
Please improve your xero payroll like this payroll…

UK Payroll - Hide RTI User ID in payroll settings
When using Xero Payroll as an agent it would be better to be able to hide the agents Govt Gateway ID as well as the password. Could it be updated so that when you tick that you are submitting as an agent, both parts are hidden from the client?

AU Payroll - Auto populate contractor details from Contact record
Now that you have a function to create a Non-employee SubContrator who is paid Superannuation only here are some suggestions as currently it is a very labout intensive and manual process especally since STP2
- ability to populate the contractors details eg address, email, phone number from their Contact as they have been paid for an invoice via Bills
- pay items that alows you to enter the invoice value so the super is calculated - at present, new STP does not allow you to trick the system anymore so 10.5% SG has to be manually calculated
- ALLOW SPACES IN ABN field…
3 votesThanks for sharing with us in product ideas, Alison. It really helps for each idea to be separate so we can gauge interest in the specific feature community would like to see, and users know exactly what they're voting for.
Reading through your feedback, you should find you can now copy and paste an ABN that contains spaces. It also appears there is an existing idea for tracking contractors Super contributions that I added your vote for and you'll be kept updated if there's any progress for.
I've slightly adjusted the title of your idea here to reflect your first point, however you're welcome to start others for the remaining ideas that you'd like to see us develop.

UK Payroll - Include student loan calculation on summary reports
Student Loan Tax Calculation
Xero tax sets out the calculation of Income tax and NIC very well.Unfortunately, the system is obscure in relation to displaying the calculation for Student Loan Tax which is important for an increasing number of young people coming into financial maturity.
We need to provide adequate assurance both to them and the increasingly aggressing Student Loan Company to avoid penalties and unexpected bills.
I request that Xero includes a breakdown of the calculation on the Summary computation report.
This would add a great deal of assurance and quality control for both our young clients and…

Global Payroll: YTD Earnings and deductions on Payslips
An Employee's payslip gives the current pay period earnings, deductions and net take home pay. It's missing YTD earnings and deductions information on a payslip. Please consider including the same in your future updates. Thanks, We are a Canadian based business.
3 votesHi community, we’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
We appreciate your input on how we can improve Xero for you, however with this change coming we don't have any plans to further develop Global Pay Run, and will move any ideas related to this on the site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements, you may want to explore transitioning to Xero…

Xero Expenses - Default to today's date for receipts if date is missing
If Xero Expenses' OCR reader doesn't find a date in a photo/receipt, it sets it as 19 Feb 2022 (from reviewing a number of Expenses in my organisation submitted in December 2022 that don't have visible dates).
It would be more helpful to set the date as the day the Expense was initially created.
The submitter is likely to have incurred the Expense on the day they take a photo of the receipt.As it currently is, if a period isn't locked and the Approver isn't checking dates, they may inadvertently post entries to the wrong period, even a historical/filed…

UK Payroll - Disable leave accruals for employees on leave
UK. We employ temporary staff who do not accrue leave while taking paid leave they have previously accrued. The only way to reflect this in Xero is to manually adjust the leave balance. I would like to be able to add a pay item of paid leave that does not accrue further leave.

UK Payroll - Integrated support for Scottish Widows workplace pension
With the payroll linking RTI with HMRC (UK), it would be really helpful if the pensions could do the same, not just with Scottish Widows but more providers.
This would really streamline the whole payroll process and save so much time.

AU Payroll - Report to Breakdown annual leave and leave loading
Can we please have a report that will breakdown annual leave and leave loading. When there is a lot of employees that take leave for a quarter is time consuming to have to drill down into each employee to work out the leave loading to ensure that the SGC amount is reconciled.
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.

NZ Payroll - Flag leave submitted retrospectively
It would be great if Xero could send an alert if a leave request has been submitted for a payroll period that has already been processed?
This would apply in the situation that payroll was run early and then an employee took a day off in the period that was included in the payrun.3 votes -
NZ Payroll - Ability to Delete bank account from employee payment information
Some employees have payment information (bank account), and others do not at a client account. The client does not use the bank account information for the payment to employees, then, this information is not compulsory for the client at the moment.
I found a wrong information of the payment bank account information of an employee and tried to delete it, however, Xero says:
The account name is required, and
The account number is required, then,
It is not possible to save 'nil' information.The Company does not use 'payment information' in the actual payment process and there is no practical…
3 votesWe appreciate the interest and rationale in wanting to be able to delete an employee's bank information.
While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term we want to be upfront that this is not something we've currently got planned.
In the meantime, you can replace the employee bank account details with fake/dummy information instead.

Payroll AU - Maximum leave accrual limit or expiry dates for leave types.
It would be good to make it possible to either set a maximum leave accrual, or set an expiry date for leave. An example where it could be used would be study leave. We have an agreement with employees that gives them 7 days of study leave per year. Any unused study leave is forfeited after two years. Currently we have to manually monitor and adjust the leave.

User roles - Hide the Customers list for Expenses "submitter" users
I appreciate that the "Assign to customer" option is useful, but I do not want all of our field staff who use Expenses seeing our customer list. Surely this option can be removed for "Expenses Submitter" roles (but kept on for "Approvers" and "Admin")?
2 votesHi Dan, thanks for sharing your idea about how you'd like expenses submitters to not see customers in the Contacts list.

AU Payroll - Make Pending Approval button more obvious
I've tried to use the automatic super payments SOOOOO many times and was lost in it forever - now I realise there is a PENDING APPROVAL BUTTON that has to be pressed - I had not realised it is a button.
My idea for improvement is to make this look like a button and not just a highlighted word.
In pic you can see 'pending approval' is highlighted, but so is 'withdrawn' - which is not a button. In Xero all the buttons are larger and shaped as rectangles and unified. This could be much clearer.2 votesHi Kylie, appreciate your feedback on this other post which I have turned into an idea of it's own so we can begin to track interest from the community in this here.
We'll let you know here if there are any planned changes for that Pending approval button 😊

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
2 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏
