  1. Xero permissions are all or nothing - you either have access to timesheets and expenses or you don't. As such, you get a lot of notifications about things that aren't yours to deal with. It would be good to have a little more detail in notifications, for example; "There is a new expense from Robert Smith to review" so you know if it's relevant to you or not

    Thanks for sharing your idea here, Sophie. Atm our product team are working on a few changes for expense notifications - Once live there will be a few different scenarios for notifications

    • When an expense is submitted users with the admin or approver role will receive an email notification that an expense is awaiting approval
    • When an expense is approved or declined the user that submitted the expense will receive an email notification
    • Users will no longer receive notifications when they take an action on their own expense

    I'll let you know once these changes have been rolled out. But if there are other specifics in the notifications that you'd find helpful it would be good to hear these, too.

  2. Would be great if Xero could trigger an automated (email and/or text) reminder to the superannuation payment approver 10, 5 and one days out from the superannuation due date each quarter.

    A similar reminder feature already exists in XPM for Activity Statement Lodgements - reminders can be turned on.

    Xero also has the ability to automate reminders to Customers around bill payment.

    Xero has the email and SMS of the superannaution approver already on file.

    Advantage of these reminders:

    • Super gets paid on time - we're all human and life can take over and sometimes things get missed - a…

    Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this. It’s clear from the support this idea has gained that automated reminders for superannuation payments could be a huge help for many of you. We hear you and can see how this could make managing your obligations smoother.

    Our product team has taken a look at this and we’re exploring how we can build it in to help you stay on top of the proposed PayDay Super changes. It’s on our roadmap, and we’ll keep you posted as things move forward. 🙂

  3. UK doesn't currently have the remuneration report. This is a basic fundamental requirement on payroll.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the feedback on a having a Remuneration report in UK Payroll.

    We’re currently rolling out a new Remuneration report that brings key employee information together in one place, including Pay frequency, Rate and Annual salary.

    You’ll see it become available in UK Payroll as the rollout progresses.

    Appreciate your patience and for continuing to share your thoughts.

  4. When setting up new employees from another system, it would be great, if we could import the past earnings information.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your support for a seamless way to import employees past earnings.

    We understand this is a time consuming set-peace.

    We're excited to let you know that this idea is currently in development.

    We appreciate your input and will keep you updated as we make progress.

  5. Can we please have the ability to set a due date for an expense? Currently it is set as the day it is approved, but we pay all our expenses for the whole month, on the 15th of the following month. It would be good to be able to set this as default for any expenses raised.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Hey everyone! Thank you all for supporting this idea.

    We agree that having the ability to set a default due date would bring efficiency and consistency to your workflow.

    I'm thrilled to announce that we’ve started active work on this feature.

    While we can't share a specific release date, please know that our product team is dedicated to building a solution that addresses the pain points you've raised.

    We appreciate all of your valuable contributions to improving Xero. We'll post another update here as soon as we have more news to share. 😊

  6. Ability to send and generate online commencement forms from Xero Payroll.

    Purpose: Employees can complete and submit their own online commencement forms, rather than having to ask the employers to submit it.

    Hey everyone, as a first off we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone that filled in their details and engaged with our teams research in this space.

    I'm pleased to return with a further update for you all.

    We have been developing the capability fir employees to self onboard to Xero Payroll. Our feature would enable employees to enter their own onboarding details via a secure web form. Giving payroll admins back more time to focus on more important tasks.

    We want to be upfront that the intention is to release this in the Australian version of Xero Payroll first, with NZ and UK to follow. We will keep you up to date of the release here. 😊

  8. Xero checks employees age against pay rate and that of the National Minumum Wage so it does not get missed. It's doesn't have to change it, just highlight thsat the employee's rate needs to ber changed

    Hi everyone, as part of the work we're doing here, we're looking to engage some small businesses as well as accountants and bookkeepers who use our Payroll functionality to try out our new prototypes and give us feedback.

    We'd look to set up a video call over the next 3 weeks which'll take about 60 minutes. If you'd be interested in taking part, please apply by using this form. 😊 Thanks

  9. That Leave Liability Report is able to be exported to Excel. This would avoid double handling when I am creating graphing for the CE
