Payroll - Suggestion to separate "Pay Wages" and "Pay Super" buttons in the payment flow
Recently XERO changed the Make Payment Button so that it now contains two payment steps ABA Download, and payment of superanuation. This is great but I am finding that because both processes take you away from the wages screen,(one is to the bank and the other to the SUPER approval process) the work does not flow easily. Is it possible instead to separate the two buttons so we would have PAY WAGES as one button and PAY SUPER as separate buttons?
13 votesHi there and thanks for your feedback.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can gather input from other users, and updated the title to reflect the request for separate buttons.
We appreciate you sharing how this change is affecting your workflow.

AU Payroll - Calculate and display total hours worked on pay slips
Payslips need to have an option to show total hours paid to employees. Currently it isn't clear at a glance to employees or for auditing that paid hours total worked hours. Having this automatically calculate based on the approved timesheet and tallied at the bottom (alongside the this pay $ perhaps) would be ideal.
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea to show the total hours (rather than the hours per pay item) on the payslip. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

AU Payroll - View payslip in employees record
Option to be able to view payslip in employee file rather than having to download
97 votesHi there, as part of our ongoing review process, we’re in the process of updating our idea statuses to better track Xero Product Ideas.
We’ve taken another look at this idea. Whilst we can see the value for payroll administrators to be able to view the payslip in PDF from within the Employee’s record, this update doesn’t currently fit into our product team’s road map. We’ll move this idea to a status of Accepted and will continue to review this in future planning.

Mark super as contributed
With Payday super approaching, it would be good to have a progress indicator on the super submission page, or somewhere. i have submitted super for a period but the submission page is still showing as unpaid, whereas it should say submitted to avoid double processing.

AU Payroll - Allow Withholder Payer Numbers (WPN) for Automatic Superannuation
Clients who are not eligible for an ABN but have a PAYG withholding obligation (e.g. people who employ domestic help) have to register the ATO for a Withholder Payer Number (WPN) so they can deduct and remit PAYG. The SBSCH has enabled super stream for holders of WPNs but that is closing 1 July 2026. Xero STP/Auto Super currently requires an ABN for registration - please make use of a WPN possible.
5 votesThanks so much, Ian, for sharing your idea and highlighting WPN employer's needs to use Xero payroll and our auto super feature.

UK payroll - Order pay run by employee number
My employee's have existing payroll numbers so it would be easier to run a payroll in number order. Can this option be looked into please?
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea, currently you can't reorder the employees in the pay run or when you download the payslips in bulk. I understand how that flexibility might be a benefit.

AU Payroll - Ability to customise self onboarding form
It would be very helpful if we can add custom fields on the self-onboarding form to get the information that are specific to an organisation.
6 votesAppreciate organisations have different needs and details that they'd collect from employees. It's great to hear you're making use of self onboarding and we'll get a sense of the wider interest for customising this from the community here.
This isn't something we have plans of at present but will share if there are any updates.

AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone
AU Payroll - Email auto super code to email address instead of mobile number for overseas travelers who don't always have access to mobile phone
43 votesHi Tayla. Thanks 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, both the current auto super approver and also the subscriber can change the auto super approver details, so if there is another user who could approve superannuation batches, this maybe a workaround if the current super approver is unable to.

NZ Payroll - Make multiple draft pay runs
Ability to draft future payruns - ie more than 1 darft payrun. Especially at Christmas time. I would like to draft up future payruns before Igo on leave, but still have the ability to adjust this week payrun for overtime etc. At the moment I can't move forward until I complete current payrun. or i have to do un unscheduled payrun to fix it. Very time consuming

UK Payroll - Monthly P30 report

Payroll AU: Include superannuation payments report in posted pay run options

AU Payroll - Allow to change settings for Decimal places.
Pay rates rounding by 4 decimal points causing an underpayment of wages. EG: Base rate is 25.65 x 1.5 = 38.475000 but the award rate is actually 38.48. Need a solution for this ASAP. Also change decimal place settings for pay slip and pay template items such as superannuation.

Payroll NZ | Timesheet - show submitted leave days when creating timesheets.
When approving timesheets it would be ideal to have separate lines underneath Ordinary Hours with Leave requested, on which days and hour amounts and to be able to approve there instead of having to go to a different screen.

Payroll AU: Unscheduled pay run "payment date" automatically be todays date
When doing an Unscheduled pay run, to have the "payment date" automatically change to todays date, or have a pop up saying to check date.
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea about the payment date of unscheduled pay runs. If you're making a correction to a old pay run, in most situations you'll want the payment date to match that of the pay run you're making corrections for. However understand this is not always the case.

AU Payroll - Ability to apply work patterns to part time employees
Suggest the ability to apply work patterns to part time employees. For example, we have a part time employee who works 7 hours on Mon, 6 hours on Tues and 6 hours on Wed.
At the moment, if a Public Holiday falls on a Monday, it does not correctly work out hours worked.
The same happens if Annual Leave is taken; incorrect hours are calculated which affects AL accruals.
Hours worked have to be calculated and added manually.323 votesHey everyone 👋 Thanks so much for all the detailed feedback on applying work patterns for part-time employees. We’ve been following the conversation and understand that manually adjusting pay runs for pro-rata entitlements can be a real challenge. It’s clear that having this automated could save time and give you greater peace of mind.
I’m pleased to let you know our product team has reviewed this idea and we’re updating the status to ‘Accepted’. This means that while it’s not on our immediate roadmap, it’s something we see real value in and want to bring into Xero when we can prioritise the work.
In the meantime, the workarounds shared here, like manually adjusting hours in each pay run, remain the best approach. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, as your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping Xero. We’ll keep you updated on any developments…

UK Payroll - option to bulk include/exclude all Employees from pay run.
For catering companies, or any business with many employees or recurring weekly staff, payroll can become stressful and very time-consuming. This is because all employees need to be unticked before running payroll for only those who actually worked in that specific week. Other companies face the same issue as well. Is there any shortcut to untick all employees at once before preparing payroll for the employees who actually worked in that week?
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes and comments on this idea. It’s clear that a simple 'Untick All' option when creating a pay run would save you a lot of time. We understand that manually deselecting employees one by one is time consuming, especially for those who have a large number of employees but only need to process a pay run for a few. We will keep this idea updated as we move through any design and development phases.
