  1. Could a similar function that UK organsiations have to "deep archive" employees be rolled out to AU organsiations? This will assist to adhere to legal requirements of retaining employee records for 7 years.

    Appreciate re-raising this idea here to see if there is renewed interest in being able to deep archive employee records.

    We'll keep an eye on the support this receives here but want to be open that this isn't something we have plans for in the near term.

    In the meantime, you may like to share this idea with any other colleagues that'd find this beneficial so they can support in this too.

  2. Move the 'Approve all' button in Current Leave view from the top right to bottom right. It's much too close to the Sort by Status button and easily pressed in error.

    Whilst this idea isn't currently on our product team's roadmap, we're monitoring the activity and will keep you updated on the way.

  4. It would be good to beable to add employees Annual bonuses into xero so we don't have to refer to their contracts each time. As well as a report that will show employees details Remuneration, Bonuses etc

    Thanks for sharing your idea for updates you would like to see in the Employee Remuneration report.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

    In the meantime, we can suggest a possible workaround so that your employees bonus information is held within Xero would be to add this as a Note in each employees Employment record for easy access.

  5. Like it says on the tin. Why do Xero send an unnecessary EPS each month when its not needed? If I want to change my payroll, great send the EPS when I approve it. If I make a late payment, send the EPS once I've finalised the payroll. But please stop sending pointless returns which makes me wonder what Xero is doing filing unnecessary data that is more likely to cause problems with HMRC than not given their systems.

  6. I've tried to use the automatic super payments SOOOOO many times and was lost in it forever - now I realise there is a PENDING APPROVAL BUTTON that has to be pressed - I had not realised it is a button.

    My idea for improvement is to make this look like a button and not just a highlighted word.
    In pic you can see 'pending approval' is highlighted, but so is 'withdrawn' - which is not a button. In Xero all the buttons are larger and shaped as rectangles and unified. This could be much clearer.

  7. I hope Xero will soon introduce the feature for ABN exemption for non-employee contractors, as there are cases that they are ABN exempt. I'm sharing the ATO link with you for your reference, https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/statement-by-supplier-not-quoting-an-abn?

  8. As the automatic journal for payroll is not able to be viewed before posting to accounts, we should have the option to turn off automatic journals. Currently, we have to post, then go back and do another journal to split out ER NI & Pension for different departments. This system is so unflexible.

    We appreciate you sharing your ideas regarding timesheets.

    We've reviewed your idea and can see that the idea regarding notifications is an existing Xero Product Idea called Notification - Reminder to employee to enter Timesheet. This is currently in review with our product team.

    The ability to input weekly hours (rather than daily) has not yet been raised though. The idea is now available to the community to share their support. We'll keep you updated!

  10. It would be really helpful if a bill could be created from the pension filing figures on payroll once you have clicked on marked as filed. (such as it is an option when you do your vat return)

  11. Ability to have an expand and collapse button for pays previously posted and presented under Pay Run History.

    After using Xero for a number of years, locating a previous pay run becomes looking for a needle in a haystack as this section is just a swamp of pays.

    Grouping in payroll financial years or having a date filter would assist greatly also.

    Hi Yvonne, thanks so much for raising this idea and sharing your thoughts with us. We totally see how useful it’d be to have the option to expand or collapse pay run history, or group it by financial year in the Payroll product.

    As pay run history builds up, it can definitely get a bit tedious trying to scroll through and find what you need. Having a more organised view would really help when you’re digging into older payroll data.

    As a temporary workaround, you may find it helpful to use Ctrl + F (or Command + F on Mac) to quickly search the screen for a specific date or payroll year. We know it’s not a perfect fix, especially when there’s a lot of data, but it might make things a little quicker in the meantime.

    Right now, your idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, and we’re keeping a…

    Hi Darren, thanks for clarifying with our support team that your employees submit timesheets. I've updated your idea to reflect this.

    If a timesheet employee has been assigned a holiday group, you'll need to edit the Public Holiday earnings line in the draft pay run.

  13. I find that it's extremely annoying how you can't open up payruns and employee profiles from a right mouse click in a new tab. It would be nice if the UX could cater to this for smoother and faster movements. Also with new fixed assets it would be ideal if we could click the whole asset line rather than one tiny little link - would save a lot of frustration when bulk writing off assets. Overall it shows up in Xero in a few places and would make life a lot easier if we could use intuitive commands like Ctrl…

    Hi Rachel, appreciate your raising your feedback with us here. While I understand the underlying improvement you're asking for relates to navigation we do request to have separate ideas for the change you'd like to see in each are a of the product.

    As we continue to develop Xero our prodyct teams are creating more consistency in behaviours however this is also in consideration of user flows and roles. We cannot commit to making this change across all areas of Xero but it would be great to get a better understanding of the interest in specific actions you'd find this useful for that the team can take into consideration and we can keep you updated of. I've updated the title of our idea here for being able to right click and open a Payrun but you are welcome to create new ideas for each other area you'd find a right…

  16. The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.

    Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.

    Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.

    Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a…

  17. For pay frequency for an employee, it would be good to be able to change this even if the employee has a pending leave request. Future leave or unprocessed leave has no relationship to the pay frequency if I want to pay an unscheduled bonus or other payment. This is very limiting as I may not be in a position to approve or process the leave before I need to change a pay frequency on an employee.

  19. Can we please show multiple annual salary on the payslip if there is more than one ordinary time earnings rates. I would like to show a "secondment wages" line when a person is hired by another firm for one day a week as a breakup on the payslip.

    Hi Michelle,


    Thanks for sharing this suggestion.I’ve moved this to Gaining Support.


    Currently, Xero payslips are optimized to show a single primary annual salary, which can make things a bit confusing for employees working across multiple rates or secondments. Allowing the payslip to break down multiple salary bases would definitely add a lot of clarity for both employers and staff.


    I’ve updated the title to "AU Payroll - Show multiple annual salary rates on payslips for multiple OTE lines" to help other users with similar needs find and vote for it.


    Quick Tip: In the meantime, many users use the "Notes" section on the individual's payslip to manually clarify the secondment rate, though we appreciate an automated solution is the goal!


  20. It would be great if we could copy timesheet tracking each week. We have a client that has extensive tracking for timesheets - with some employees having time tracked to a number of different tracking codes. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to save the tracking for each employee so we do not need to enter it each payrun.
