Payroll UK: Option to Hide Regular Earnings Lines on Payslip When Employee Is on SSP
When an employee is on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for the full pay period, Xero currently displays both the regular earnings (zeroed out with a negative adjustment) and the SSP lines on the payslip. It would be helpful if there was an option to hide the regular earnings lines so that only SSP appears on the payslip. This would make the payslip clearer for employees and reduce confusion.

Hi Christina, thanks for sharing this feedback!
Just to clarify how Xero handles this - earnings items with zero hours in a draft pay run do not display on the finalised payslips generated for employees.
In this scenario, while an employee is on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for the full pay period, you will see the regular earnings line on screen while the pay run is still in Draft. However, once you Post the pay run, only the SSP line will appear on the employee’s copy of the payslip.
Because this behavior is already supported on posted payslips, I'm going to mark this idea as Existing functionality. If you're seeing zero-hour lines appear on a posted PDF payslip for a specific pay run, please reach out to our Support team so we can take a closer look at your setup!
