UK Payroll - Change employee regular earnings in draft pay run
Payroll:
Allow changes to employees' regular earnings details even when a draft pay run is in progress. If an employee's rate needs to be changed, they should be unticked or deselected in the draft pay run.
Currently, the entire pay run needs to be deleted, even if only one out of fifty employees needs a rate change, doubling the time spent on preparing the pay run. All calculations for overtime, leave, reimbursements, and deductions will need to be redone.
Hopefully, this can be considered.
Thanks!

Hi Tracy, thanks for submitting your idea on updating an employee's earnings without needing to delete the whole draft pay run. We understand excluding the employee temporarily would save time.
To help your idea gain traction, please share it with colleagues so they can vote for it too. The comment section is also open for all members to share how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

In Xero Payroll, if you update an employee's salary but then discover an error (for example, wrong amount), there is currently no way to edit it. Instead, the system forces you to create a new salary line which has to be dated the next day as it won't allow you to use the same date which then causes confusion on the payslip and you have to manually adjust the salary to make it right.
This is just really annoying!

Please can you add a fix so that you can amend someone's regular earnings with the same start date if that pay-run hasn't yet been run.
You used to be able to do this, but recently you cant make a correction - instead you have to put the correct data on the next available date. This creates a second line on the payslip - which looks messy and clearly displays the fact you've made an error. Not something I'd choose to share.
