UK Payroll - Payslips - Schedule date for payslips to be emailed
Ability to have an automated scheduled payslip.
Purpose: To make Payroll admin workflow easier, especially when they aren’t working on the day when payslip needs to be sent.
Hi everyone, thank you so much for your patience and for sharing your feedback on this idea.
We’re excited to announce that we have recently released an update for all UK Payroll customers that makes payslip scheduling possible!
Payslips can now be sent to your employees automatically based on a pre-set schedule. This means you can post pay runs in advance and set a date for the payslips to be emailed. To get started, check out our support article: Automatically email employees their payslips.
Your feedback is what drives change here at Xero, so thank you again for helping us shape the product.

In Xero payroll, when pay runs are posted before the pay date there needs to be a delay in the employees accessing payslips

I can't believe that this has not been picked up on and actioned. Such a basic feature for a payroll application.

This is a horrible idea! When I create a payrun and post it (as you have to post it to get the ABA file), I then send it to my client to authorise before they pay it. Its super annoying as it is that employees can see their payslips before the payment date has occured!!! We loose our opportunity to fix up any errors and employees have access may have corrections and I have to field responses to employees who stick their noses in before we have actually finished.

Great idea. The delay can be critical as the clients are notified of the amounts to pay. When payslips are sent before the payment is made the employees expect the payment has already been made. Also, they can be scheduled so they do not hit the employee's mailbox in the middle of the night when we sometimes run pays.

would be great for us BUSY bookkeepers/BAS Agents. Sometimes I can complete the payroll on the Friday for the Monday so this would be great for those situations!!!

How has this not been added yet? This should be a very simple feature to implement and would make life a lot easier for a lot of people!

To save remembering to do manually, Xero could automatically send payslips as soon as the payrun is created/clicked.

This would make everyone's life so much easier - to have a delay timer on mailing payslips on the paydate.
I keep forgetting to go back on the actual day of the payrun and mail out the payslips. This feature would make sure it never gets missed. -

They don't look at our comments, they don't like to fix bugs, and they don't really know or care how the UX and UI Interfaces work with their users.
It's shame that they don't seem to do what the users want, nor listen to their concerns. They've been contacted about illegal settings by myself, and they've denied it's illegal - in print. Then, quietly, they've make a change because it was indeed illegal, and don't bother to contact anyone to let them know. -

Payslips - Create a schedule (date/time) to automatically email payslips rather than having to complete manually.

Really need this as we process our payruns several days in advance..then have to remember to go back in to send the payslips out on pay the day. What a hassle..Doh
Surely this would be simple to add & make things a whole heap easier!

This is such an easy thing and will help users so very much. Whats the delay?
Or is the update 'scheduled'? (Pardon the pun)

I'm running three weeks worth of weekly payroll for one client today, with the client's permission, because neither of us wants to be in the office in between Christmas and New Year's. I'd really like to schedule the payslips to automatically send on the day that the payments are scheduled for.
(Payslips that aren't sent within 24 hours of payroll payment day are breaking employment law; me working while I'm on annual leave breaches my contract. Basically, I currently have no option available to follow all legal requirements)

This is a must have. This feature was available in Quickbooks and I was really surprised that such a basic thing was not available in Xero.

This is a feature that would be VERY helpful. When is the feature expected to be live?
