Payroll Payment for Future Payment Date
Whilst the new Payroll Payment feature in Xero is welcome, being unable to schedule the payments for a future date sadly means we will need to continue manually inputting the salaries via our bank. We pay our staff on the last working day of the month. This feature only allows payment via faster payment, so I will always need to be available on the last working day of the month to post the payrun. I would normally process the salaries a few days before the last working day then set them up to be paid in a few days time. I would need to ensure I never took leave or was sick on the last day of the month if we used this feature! A major flaw I feel with this new feature.

Agree really disappointing that the payments can't be scheduled for a future date like they can with supplier payments. Makes the new feature of no use.
For anyone running multiple or large payrolls or where payment to the employees has to arrive at the start of the banking day this feature doesn't help at all.
Really hope that it can be upgraded so that future dates are possible like for suppliers.
I can't understand why it has been launched as same day payment only.
