Expense claims - Choose which fields are optional
Adding a feature in Xero that allows finance admins to designate specific fields on expense claims as mandatory or optional would ensure consistent data entry, improve financial tracking, and streamline the approval process.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Compliance: By making certain fields mandatory, such as business function or event tracking, admins can ensure that all necessary information is provided, reducing the risk of incomplete or incorrect submissions.
Improved Data Accuracy: Mandating specific fields ensures that critical data, like cost centers or project codes, are always captured, leading to more precise financial tracking and reporting.

AU Payroll - Payday super reminders
With the pending Payday super requirements, can there be a reminder or a "can't progress" feature to prompt the person processing the payroll to also pay the Payday super?
Can the business choose to pay superannuation using BPay details instead of linking to a bank account?
43 votesHey community, thanks for your engagement about your needs in Payday Super.
As you may have seen, we've introduced a new auto super overview page which indicates the number of contributions that need attention/are past their expected payment date, as well as batches that need your attention too.
We have plans for developing send email notifications that'll be triggered to all payroll admins;
- 1 day after the expected payment date has passed, and again
- 7 days after if no action has been taken
We'll keep you updated on these notifications here and encourage your continued feedback.

AU Payroll - Add new super funds from employee profile
When adding a new employee record, allow me to 'create new superannuation' during the process of creating their new record. Currently when adding a new employee record, I need to navigate away from the employee record to 'Settings > Payroll Settings > Superannuation' to add a new superannuation relationship. On the new employee record, when the pop up appears for superannuation, if you could add a spot to say 'Create New relationship' or something under the employee record - I'll buy you a beer.

AU Payroll - Add tracking to Start and End Timesheets
Tracking Categories do not show in Xero Me mobile app when I approve my employees' timesheets. This means I cannot check that they have allocated their time to the correct Tracking Categories, so I have to approve timesheets on the computer making Xero Me useless for Timesheet approvals. Please show Tracking Categories in the Xero Me timesheets app.
43 votesHi everyone 🤚 thanks for the idea and support. I thought I'd pop in here to share that it can be possible to have your tracking options show in the Xero Me mobile app when approving timesheets. However to do this you'll need to choose the Total hours worked timesheet setting (instead of the Start & end hours option). Appreciate that this may not be suitable in all our customer's workflows, so we'll continue to monitor interest in this idea.

AU Payroll - Automatically accrue RDO hours
Automatically accrue RDO hours after a certain amount of hours logged.
Job management systems push 80 hours over as a timesheet in Xero.
We would like the total combined hours logged (ordinary hours, annual leave, RDOs, personal leave and public holidays) in excess of 76 hours to automatically be converted to RDO hours.
E.g: If I log 80 hours ordinary time, I accrue 4 hours RDO.
E.g: If I log 78 hours ordinary time, I accrue 2 hours RDO.
E.g: If I log 80 hours annual leave, I accrue 4 hours RDO.
E.g: If I log 72 hours ordinary time…43 votesJust wanted to touch base regarding this idea as it's been a while since we've posted an update.

UK payroll - Ability to include additional fields in Pension Contribution Report
Xero cannot current cope with companies that have more than one pension scheme. The upload I need to send to the pension provider includes payroll number, pensionable earnings for period, start date and date of birth. It would be useful if Xero had the ability to add these and additional fields if required customised in the contribution report.

UK Payroll - Ability to change Pay Periods
We have hourly paid employees who get paid 12 x per year with either a 4 week or 5 week pay period. At present, Xero doesn't give this option to change a pay period within payroll calendars. There are only set pay periods.
42 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on flexible pay periods. We appreciate you explaining how important this is, especially for those running 4-4-5 week structures.
The product team have reviewed this idea and, after looking into what would be involved, have confirmed it isn’t something we’re planning to add to Payroll in the foreseeable future.
We’ve updated the status to Not in pipeline. While we’re not moving ahead with this work, your feedback is still really valuable and helps us understand the different ways you’re running payroll in your business.

UK Payroll - Multiple workplace pension contribution levels
UK payroll - Have the ability to fully process 2 workplace pension schemes. We have 2 contribution schedules, one basic minimum level, one at higher levels. Sage can process both of these and send the correct contribution amounts to NEST. XERO is unable to do this and requires manual intervention in XERO and at NEST. This is crazy, surely I am not the only one with more than one set of contribution schedules?????
42 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on processing multiple pension contribution levels in Xero.
If you’re using the pension filing report in Xero, only the workplace pension scheme will populate the report. We understand some of you have created additional pension pay items, which require manual adjustments with your provider.
The product team have reviewed this idea and, after looking into what would be involved, have confirmed that adding a second workplace pension scheme isn’t something we’re planning to add to Payroll in the foreseeable future. We know this isn’t the update you were hoping for, and we’ll continue monitoring community interest. The idea remains open for votes.

AU Payroll - Option for Weekly PAYG Withholding period
Ability to change our PAYG Withholding period to weekly. Only options are None, Monthly or Quarterly. The ATO requires we lodge and pay PAYGW weekly now and this is not possible in Xero. We have to change our PAYGW period to None so that it does not show on the BAS and manually calculate, lodge and pay this weekly.
41 votesHello everyone, we appreciate you engaging with us about this topic. To clarify, we acknowledge support in this idea has arisen from a new requirement from the ATO that means large orgs that withhold over $1M annually to submit PAYGW weekly via STP.
While we appreciate why you'd like to automate this flow of information from Payroll to BAS within Xero there are two current options;
- Within Payroll settings you could untick “Reportable as W1 on Activity Statement” so your payroll data is not included in BAS, or
- Manually remove the W1 and W2 figures from your Activity Statement to lodge activity statements for clients that are submitting weekly PAYGW.
This idea is on our product teams radar, however we want to be upfront that at this stage we don't have any plans for developing an automation of these fields.
We'll continue to monitor this idea closely, and share if…

UK Payroll: Additional pension pay items to be included in Pension Filings.

NZ Payroll: Leave report to show leave balance and total owing

AU Payroll - Option to run unscheduled pay runs without processing leave
Unscheduled payruns - the ability to not include pending leave. When processing bonuses etc, Xero automatically puts in the up coming leave even though it is not appropriate to be included in this unscheduled payrun and should be in the standard payrun. Because we pay monthly this only exacerbates the situation. To have the option to not include the leave in that payrun would help with this.

UK Payroll - Access to communal time off calendar for employees
UK Payroll- Access to a communal time off calendar for all employees.
As a smaller business we try to have one employee off at a time where possible- it would be hugely useful if they could access a shared leave calendar in the same place as they request leave & submit timesheets from. This would pull data from my admin overview calendar and stop me having to create external calendar in iOS and another in android which leads to missing data etc and wasted holiday requests. They could see if the leave they want is available prior to the request.41 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Timesheets - show submitted leave days on timesheets
When approving timesheets it would be ideal to have separate lines underneath Ordinary Hours with Leave requested, on which days and hour amounts and to be able to approve there instead of having to go to a different screen.
Can be hard to double check and remember correct days the leave was taken and also to ensure daily and weekly hours are met.
