UK Payroll - Set time and day when scheduling payslips
I love that you can now schedule payslips but it would be much better if you could choose date and time rather than 1 day/2 days/3 days etc this is fussy, a calendar and time would be fanastic !!!!
52 votesThanks for the great discussions here, just wanted to touch base to let you know we’re listening. The idea is still open and currently gathering support on Xero Product Ideas, so we don’t have a public timeframe to share right now. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on support here and update if anything changes.

AU Payroll - Future dated pay rate changes (Effective Dating)
I like to be able to change a payrate in advance but still be able to use the old payrate in the current pay runs. Then adding a new line for ordinary hours with the new pay rate if it starts in the middle of a pay week. This way you don't have to go into each employee to change the rate if you have a pay week where it is the old payrate for eg 2 days and the new one for 3 days. It's also handy when you have to set up pay runs in advance because you…

Expenses - Ability to set default for payment due date
It's good that the ability to set the due date of each expense is now available. However, there still is no way to set a default due date for all expenses, such as the last day of the month.
It will take a lot more time to select each expense and manually change the due date from today's date, especially where there are dozens of expenses to approve.
This is the sort of thing that software should do for us - streamlining workflows and handling monotonous actions automatically.
Could all users who read this vote 'critical' so that Xero will…

AU Payroll - Allow adding super authorisation code via Xero accounting app.
Superannuation - I propose that Xero considers adding the ability to approve superannuation payments on the app rather than having to access approvals via the internet when working remotely.

Payroll - Suggestion for a pre-submission alert/limit for negative leave balances in Xero Me
When employees are using xero me app to book leave and the amount of leave they are requesting will cause their leave balance to go to a negative, either the app needs to not allow them to submit the leave as they are in negative already or will go negative or an alert to say that they are/will be in negative that they then need to acknowledge to submit the leave.

AU Payroll - Self-Onboarding history log to show this was entered by employee
Upon approving an employee’s submitted details via the self-onboarding feature, we observed that the transaction history reflects the approver as the one who entered the details, rather than the employee who originally submitted them.
For audit trail purposes, it would be helpful to identify the employee as the original submitter, while maintaining a separate record of the approver’s action.
Alternatively, a feature that allows printing or exporting the submitted self-onboarding form (as originally completed by the employee) would also address this need.

AU Payroll - Cap leave requests at the employee’s current leave balance (or a set advance limit)
Restrict leave requests when there is insufficient leave.
It would be really good if we could prevent employees from requesting leave they do not have, or set an acceptable amount that they are allowed go into negative hours (eg up to -5, but not more than that, or however much each workplace deems okay). At the moment an employee with 2 hours available can request 100 hours leave. With many different dept managers approving the leave, sometimes they don't look at the balance, and approve it anyway, causing the payroll manager to have to go back to both and explain…

Payroll AU: Include superannuation payments report in posted pay run options
Include the "superannuation payments" report in the "view reports" drop down menu in Payroll / Pay Employees.
This would be beneficial for payday super because you would be able to download the report directly from the payroll facility when processing the pay run.18 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll - SGC statement report
Require an SGC statement report ( a combination of Employee remuneration + payroll activity summary report) that includes all details required about the employee and super accrued on OTE + Overtime hours worked. This would enable efficient reporting to the ATO when super payments are late.

AU Payroll - timesheet audit trail
Can we have an audit trail on Timesheets, please? If there is a dispute around timesheet entries, changes, submissions, retractions, re-submissions, approvals etc. it would be invaluable to have an audit trail for the employee. the approver and business owner to refer to. I was surprised this didn't exist as both Xero AI and ChatGPT explained how to find it! Sadly Xero Support confirmed this audit trail does not exist.

Expenses - Introduce Bulk Actions for Submission and Approval
Bulk Actions for Expenses: Restore Submit/Approve Many. With the retirement of Classic Expenses, a major efficiency feature has been lost: the ability to process expense claims in bulk.
The Problem: Currently, each individual expense claim must be opened, reviewed, and actioned one-by-one. For anyone who needs to approve 20 claims at the end of the week, this is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process. What was once a 30-second task now takes many times longer.
The Solution: Reintroduce checkboxes and a bulk action menu to the expense claims overview screen. This would allow users to:
Select multiple claims.

UK Payroll: Timesheets to include start and finish times
It would be super helpful if an employee could enter start and finish times, plus any unpaid breaks, into their timesheet and Xero would calculate the number of hours worked. That way it would be easier for the employer to check what they are approving.

AU Payroll - Add Super payment status to Pay Employees Screen
Add a column similar to the STP Filing one in the Pay Employees Screen to show whether the super for the payrun has been included in a payment yet or not.
This way at a quick glance all users will be able to see that the super has been included in a batch and sent for payment - or whether the batch it was in has failed etc...
If it was forgotten to submit the super on the prior payrun it will be picked up quicker.7 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

UK Payroll - Amend employment contract information
Employment Information > Contract Details. I inadvertently ticked the wrong box for one of our Directors and it won't let me amend. You can amend pretty much most things in Xero but not this, and while it doesn't have any impact on the Director's status or pay, it is annoying that I can't amend or delete. It would be good to have this function in place. Or, just don't have it in place for Directors.
23 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts around the ability to amend the contract information. The Contract information is a new addition to the client information section and its great to get feedback on how this is working for our customers.

AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone
AU Payroll - Email auto super code to email address instead of mobile number for overseas travelers who don't always have access to mobile phone
64 votesHi everyone, we just wanted to provide a quick update on this one as the upcoming payday super changes will be top of everyone's minds.
The current approval step is important for both cash flow management and security and the community has also suggested a few different ideas on how to approach this:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify - currently gaining support
If either of these ideas reflects what’d work best for you, please add your vote, to help us get a clearer understanding what matters most to our community.
When we’re through the thick of EOY and initial payday super is rolled out, our product team will circle back around to these ideas to review.

AU Payroll - Ability to customise self onboarding form
It would be very helpful if we can add custom fields on the self-onboarding form to get the information that are specific to an organisation.

AU Payroll - Filter Super payables by employee group
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.5 votesHi Cilla, thanks for sharing this idea.
