AU Payroll - Allocate annual leave, sick leave and superannuation to a Project/Job
Currently Xero does not assign annual leave and public holiday to a project/job as timesheet doesn't have this function.
Superannuation generates from payroll (pay run) , however, there is no place to allocate superannuation to different projects/jobs as well.3 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.

AU Payroll - Turn off reminder to pay the employees and file the pay run
Allow us to turn off the pop up that shows when posting a pay run. I don't need reminders to pay the employees and file the pay run especially when I do payroll for 20+clients.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances of other unit types
When operating tracking income and expenses in two areas, payroll allows for the primary tracking category when setting up the employee and the time sheet allows the secondary tracking option to be selected.
Currently the timesheet option only allows for the 'hours worked' to be allocated to the secondary tracking option. Any allowance can only be added at the pay run which means it cannot be added to the secondary tracking category.
Can we have the ability to add allowances as an option in the timesheet?
181 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on adding allowances and other unit types to timesheets. We appreciate you sharing how important this is for managing your payroll.
We’ve reviewed this idea and we certainly see the benefits it would deliver, so we're updating this idea to Accepted.
While it’s not currently on our roadmap, we'll let you know right here if there are any developments on this. Thanks for your continued engagement.

AU Payroll - Ability to generate timesheet report for hours paid vs hours submitted
We are wanting to create a report for timesheet information for hours worked submitted by employees, that have been reviewed by their managers, i.e. rejected and unapproved overtime worked. The timesheet report only lists the paid hours. We would like to know the hours submitted by employees on their timesheets, versus the hours that were eventually approved and paid for. Are we able to create a custom report for this, to work out unapproved (as revised by the approver) overtime hours per employee, for a specific time period. This information is needed to do the BOOT test each year for…

AU Payroll - Remove past employees from drop-down menu in payroll reports
It would be great to be able to remove past employees from the drop-down menus when generating Payroll reports. This would be particularly helpful for businesses who employ a lot of staff members, especially if there's a high churn rate.

AU Payroll - Assign multiple tracking categories to pay items
Create the ability to allocate payroll items (eg Wages & Super) to multiple sets of tracking categories within payroll.
The only way that wages can be allocated to tracking categories is via timesheets or Journals (and only one set of tracking categories is able to be included in the timesheet).
This would be really helpful for many NFP's who require the ability to use two sets of tracking categories for all their expenses including Wages & Super (One set of tracking categories for departments and another for funding sources/grants).
124 votesHeya team, thanks for all your input here. We hear you, and understand that being able to assign multiple tracking categories to pay items would improve your reporting capabilities, and simplify tracking costs for various projects, locations, or departments.
For now, we’d suggest using manual journals to split and reallocate payroll costs after a pay run. Alternatively as some have shared, you could create specific pay items for each tracking category combination, although we recognise this may not be suitable for all.
While this isn’t in our plans at this stage we understand the rationale here and will consider how tracking works within payroll closely as we continue to develop our roadmap.
If there are any changes or news for tracking in payroll we’ll be sure to update you of this here.

AU Payroll - Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify
I need to be able to approve super when I am travelling and do not have access to text messages. It is most inflexible that there is only one method for doing this! Can the Xero Verify App not be used for auto super approvals too? Then I only need wifi.
Or, can text be received to whatsapp instead?
12 votesThanks for sharing your idea for alternative methods to approve auto super batch payments.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
In the meantime, Auto super payments must be approved using the authorisation code sent via SMS.
If needed, both the current approver and subscriber can update the approval details in the event the current approver is not available.

AU Payroll - Allocate Paid Parental Leave pay items to a liability account
Currently the PPL pay item can only be allocated to an expense account.
This is not in line with the Australian Accounting Standard.
Can Xero update the ability to allocate to a liability account, please?

AU Payroll - Timesheets - Enter tracking categories with Start and End times
Employees to be able to add tracking categories in the 'Start and end hours' timesheet setting, rather than a payroll administrator having to do it manually before approving.
8 votesThanks for sharing your idea about employee timesheets. It's possible for employees to add tracking categories to timesheets when using the Total Hours Worked timesheet setting. However this isn't currently possible using the Start and End timesheet setting.
Make sure you share this idea with your colleagues so they can add their vote and feedback. We'll let you know if there are any developments in this space.

AU Payroll - Option to add ETP Type D
We have had the unfortunate event of an employee pass away whilst still employed.
I would like to suggest that Xero make it easier for companies to be able to process a death benefit payment (ETP - type D) within the system rather than having to process this manually and then having to do journal entries for the system to balance correctly. And to then have to process paper copies of PAYG payment summaries to report this to the ATO.

AU Payroll - Option to include Public Holiday hours in Unpaid leave types
At this stage Xero doesn't recognise if an Employee is on Unpaid Leave.
Xero's default behaviour when an employee (that is assigned to a holiday group) submits a request for a period of Unpaid Leave spanning one or more public holidays, is to exclude those Public Holidays from the calculated Unpaid Leave hours.
This has the effect of allocating those Public Holidays as paid hours in a pay-run rather than as unpaid hours. This is not consistent with the Fair Work Act (https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employment-conditions/public-holidays/not-working-on-public-holidays)
If this is not picked up and adjusted before finalising a pay-run it can result…

AU Payroll - Set up birthday and apprenticeship anniversaries reminders in Xero Payroll
Could we include a notification when a staff member has a birthday? This has multiple benefits including allowing us to check if their award salary or benefits need to change and also be able to congratulate them on their birthday. Surely it wouldn't be a huge change to make but would be a unique and helpful change for many SME as I currently need to create a new Google calendar for staff birthdays, creating additional work especially when we have 50+ staff and low retention in hospitality. Thank you.
228 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback and votes on adding birthday notifications to Australian payroll - we understand how this could help with team celebrations and managing age-based award rate compliance.
After reviewing with our product team, this feature isn't currently on our roadmap, and we'll update the status to 'Not in Pipeline'. Right now, setting up an external calendar could help you track these important dates.
We appreciate you all taking the time to share your feedback with us, and will continue to watch the traction this idea receives through Votes. If there is any change, we will share an update here.

UK Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Flag duplicate leave entries on the same day
We are extracting leave data through API to manage resourcing including leave booked. We have a few cases of employees with duplicate leave on the same day entered and approved in error. It would be great to see a flag or warning pop up to approvers and payroll admins where more than a standard number of hours leave is applied to a given day. The number of hours comprising a working day could ideally be set for each employee.9 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

AU Payroll - Revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a pay run has been filed
Please automatically revert to the "Pay Employees" page after a payrun has been filed. At the moment after a payrun is filed with the ATO we are taken back to the "Post Payrun" / "File" page. You then have to click on "Close" to be taken to the "Pay Employees" page. Why the extra step?
