UK Payroll - Add a remuneration report
UK doesn't currently have the remuneration report. This is a basic fundamental requirement on payroll.
63 votesHi team, pleased to share that the Employee Remuneration report for UK Payroll is now live to all users!
Only users with the Payroll admin permission will be able to view and run this report which you'll find within the reports centre.
If it's a report you'll be running often, you can favourite it so it's accessible from your Reporting drop down menu too. 😊

AU Payroll Employee Summary - Filter by Employee Groups
Employee Group is an option inside normal Xero for Personnel Officer to filter and generate different reports to support their lives and legal requirements.
Xero has this option, and removed this function without a follow up. This is not make sense.
I found this problem was listed since March 2024 and still do not have a solution.Recently I raise a case support and checking with Payroll Specialist and got a reply that Xero has a bug and require the user to contact the Product Team and raise an idea here to see any chance to get an improvement, or…
2 votesSorry for the back and forth, Rossetti. To confirm for all - While it's not possible to select certain individual employees, you can use the Payroll Activity Details report to view a total hours for an employee group.
If the employees are all part of the same group in payroll, you'll be able to run the report for that employee group for the required date range. While we don't currently have any plans right now for developing the ability to select multiple employees from the list, we hope the employee group option can accommodate your needs.

AU Payroll - Timesheet report for leave
Would be great if we could run a report detailing which staff have taken leave (annual, personal) during the period to confirm it agrees to leave entered in Xero Me.
2 votesHi team, just returning to this idea, I've slightly amended the title and we'll move across to delivered.
As mentioned in my last update, you can use the Leave requests report which will show the start and end dates, as well as units and dollar amount. It's also possible to run the report for all, or just specific employees for the period. 🙂

UK Payroll - Edit approved leave requests
The leave process is not flexible enough. Once a request is approved, it can't be changed - only declined which is incorrect. Need to be able to amend/delete after approved. There should be the option to book as days not hours as our employees have day entitlement, this should also be able to be shown on payslip as days remaining. Why also is the leave balance report not being opened to UK
3 votesHi team, currently a user with payroll admin permission has the ability to edit approved employee leave requests, by going to the employees record, clicking into the leave tab, selecting the three dots where they'll see the option to edit.
In regards to setting leave to be based on days this isn't possible as the earnings are based on hours, and cannot be set to days.

NZ Payroll - Option to show Holiday Pay accrual as hour value
Payroll>Employees>Leave currently has leave balances in days and dollar values, this makes it difficult to determine what the amount should be either way.
As the dollar amount may change due to pay rises or an average applied as per statutory legislation, it would be better if all fields were hours based values. This would make it consistent and easier as a consumer to use.
As a user, I should not have to be trying to calculate what the values should be and if something doesn't appear to be right, I should not need to contact Xero to find out how…48 votesHi team, we've recently released changes in Xero Payroll. As you may have seen you can now set up working patterns for employees to more accurately calculate employees wages and leave. While Holiday pay remains in dollars, Annual Leave will show in weeks and FBAPS Leave will now be shown in days.
Just to note, Holiday Pay is not a one to one correlation to Annual Leave, however if you prefer to have leave in hours you could consider enabling leave in advance. You can see our article here for more information on managing employees leave.
We appreciate your interest and sharing with us through Xero Product Ideas.

UK Payroll | Reset holiday accrual on anniversary date
HOLIDAY ACCRUAL SHOULDN'T TAKE A MONTH TO RESET
We have holiday entitlement to reset on the 1st of April each year, however, the holidays don't reset until the 1st of May and after April's pay run.
Please vote for all holiday balances to reset on the actual anniversary date.43 votesHi everyone, we're pleased to update you that these changes have been released in UK Payroll! 🎉 This includes the ability to set employee's leave to accrue based on a custom date of your choosing. Additionally, we've released changes based on the feedback here so that leave will now accrue on the first day of your annual accrual method.

Subscription - Automatic super in all AU Payroll plans
My suggestions is that automated super should be available if a Xero package offers payroll, like the starter package and the Standard package - its near impossible for clients to make direct super payments for employees (even for business owners themselves) without using this feature.
With the increases in subscriptions occurring in September I think an upgrade with automated super should be tabled for the lower subscription packages.
25 votesHey everyone, happy to be able to share with you all that payroll is now included in all business plans which also includes auto super as a standard feature. If you haven't already set this up you can find more information on this on Xero Central. We thoroughly appreciate all your feedback and sharing with us on your needs through product ideas here.
If you have any questions about your subscription plans our specialists will be happy to help, and you can raise a case with them through Xero Central. 🙂

AU Payroll - Edited leave request date, email notifies employee of the wrong date
Edited Leave request date sends a notification to the employee for the wrong date. We recently had an employee request an RDO for 19/07/2024. After discussion with the employee this date was not suitable because the employee was due to provide training to a customer this date so we agreed to change the date to the following week (26/07/2024).
I then edited the leave request to be for the 26/07/2024 and approved the request.
The employee received an email notification that their request for leave on the 19/07/2024 was approved!
The employee then contacted me because they were confused and…
2 votesThanks for raising this, Chris and apologies we haven't responded sooner. This was an issue that our product team picked up and I can confirm we released a fix so the date will now show correctly.

UK Payroll - Remove YTD bank holidays from payslips
There is no reason to keep the previous bank holidays on every payslip.
I can’t seem to get rid of previous bank holidays from showing on current/future payslips. Why are bank holidays from the Easter and the King's Coronation still appearing on payslips May 2023 onwards?? Doesn’t look very professional. This is all on the YTD earnings line. Why isn't there an option to remove it? Clients are not very happy.
12 votesHi everyone, returning now a few weeks on from our last update, we’re going to move this idea to ‘Delivered’ with the change the team made to Payslip PDFs. We have now combined all previous earnings as one YTD line so that your employees only see the most relevant information 🥳

NZ Payroll - Alternate Holiday accrual
Change the Alternate Holiday accrual to days not hours. Legally when someone works on a statutory holiday they get to accrue 1 days alternate holiday, which is the hours that they would normally work when they take the day off, not the hours they worked on the stat day. It's misleading putting in hours instead of days, especially if every day if not an 8 hour day. Reports need to be run every time an Alternate Holiday is taken to ensure they still have that day available.
2 votesHi all, thanks for your patience. We've recently rolled out a change for all NZ payroll organisations, which will allow payroll admins to convert employees' leave balances from Hours to Days.
Going forward leave will accrue and be visible as days.
Thanks for supporting this idea and being the voice of change.

AU Payroll - Create a report that shows when a salary change was actioned
Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this has been raised previously, but would like a payroll report that will detail employee salary changes and the date they changed.
4 votesHey team, if you'd like to see a report that shows changes made to payroll such as salary changes, you can use the Payroll History report.
It can be run for a specified date range and will show the date the changes were made, what the changes were, the employee affected and the user who made the changes.

UK Payroll - Leave Summary Report
UK Payroll - need a summary report showing leave taken / remaining by employee for a given leave year - This is already available in AU payroll
77 votesHi team, as an update to my last post, we have now rolled out the Leave Requests report in UK Payroll. This report lists the details for leave requested, approved and taken, for all employees or can be run for a singular employee, and will help when planning rosters or work schedules. Payroll Admins will be able to find and access it through the Reports Centre found in the Accounting menu. We're aware that the Leave Requests report does not meet all of the requirements as outlined in the comments of this idea, and we have created a new idea for a Leave Transactions Report. We will track interest of this idea and keep an eye on this separately, so please do join and support if this is of interest to you.

NZ Payroll - Import past earnings
When setting up new employees from another system, it would be great, if we could import the past earnings information.
10 votesHi team, happy to return and share that this feature has now been released!
Now when employees have an earnings history in another payroll software system, you can choose to bulk enter previous earnings by importing a file, with the ability to download a template to enter data.
Thanks again for letting us know the value in this for you here. 😊

AU Payroll - Public Holiday for Friday before the AFL Grand Final
Payroll - Victorian Public Holidays -
Please add:
Friday before the AFL Grand Final Friday 27 SeptemberI tried but was not able to manually add this as an extra Public Holiday
4 votesThanks for sharing in the idea here, Faye! While we don't have plans to change the current set up - as suggested when you choose to "Add Holiday" rather than selecting one of the drop down options, you can just type in the Holiday that you want to add.

NZ Payroll - Sick leave schedule of accrual
Schedule of Accrual - Sick Leave : would love the option: Annually after 3 Months
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on improving the schedule of accrual for sick leave.
We've now rolled out a change to all NZ Payroll organisations. We’ve added a custom leave accrual option to the leave schedule of accrual. Once an organisation has converted their sick leave entitlements to Days, you can adjust the sick leave entitlement schedule as needed.
By default, you can choose to accrue from start date or annually after 6 months, but there is now a custom option that allows you to set other schedules, for example, after 3 months.
Thanks again for helping us improve Xero Payroll.

AU Payroll Employee Summary Report - Heading Layout
Please fix the layout of the headings in the new reports - Reimbursements shows over two lines when you print the report to pdf, which looks absolutely ridiculous!
3 votesAppreciate the feedback, Emily. Can see what you mean with the report heading and I shared this back with the team. Today we've just released a change to the Payroll Employee Summary report so 'Reimbursement' has now been shortened to 'Reimb' 😊 so this will all fit in the one line now.

NZ Payroll - Option to change employee anniversary date when on unpaid leave for more than 1 week
Where an employee takes unpaid leave for more than one week, it would be helpful if you could enter in the date in which the unpaid leave applies from so that the anniversary date can automatically be reset. The current set up is rather antiquated, and needs to be automated to ensure accuracy and ease of use.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on the option to change and employee's leave accrual anniversary date.
We’ve rolled out changes to all NZ Payroll organisations that allow key leave types to be recorded in days and weeks.
Once an organisation has converted leave to weeks, you can go to the employee’s record, open the Leave tab, and select Edit next to Annual leave. From there, you can adjust the annual leave anniversary date as needed.
We really appreciate everyone who supported this idea and hope this gives you more control and accuracy when managing leave anniversaries in Xero.

Xero Me - Allow employees to self-service change of address
Xero Me - change of address - employee can lodge a notification through Xero Me to payroll for your change of address. The change could be approved by the payroll administrator and it immediately updates Xero, then an email would be sent to the employee to say the change of address has occurred. This would reduce administration time, spelling errors in address and encourage employees to keep their details up to date.
60 votesHi everyone, back to announce that employee profile updates have now been rolled out across NZ, UK and AU 😊
With the updates employees can now view more fields within their employee profile, and update details that don't require admin approval, including;
- Contact number & email address
- Residential address (excluding State/Country)
- Emergency contact information
We really appreciate your voice through this idea and helping us focus on changes that can make a difference to our community. Thanks!

UK Payroll - Generate a report with employees names and NINO
UK HMRC often carry out routine checks on compliance with PAYE and National Minimum Wage. In one NMW check we have been asked to provide them with a list of the names and NINOs of all staff employed by us between two specified dates. To make it easy they dont use tax years but calendar dates
We need a standard payroll report that allows us to export a list with the employees name and NINO. The only way to create this at the moment is by a manual trawl
3 votesThanks for your interest and feedback on this idea, everyone
Currently you can generate a Pension Contribution Report which includes the employees name and NINO 🙂 When creating the report - under Columns select the fields you'd like to include in the report as well as the date range. Once created, you can export it in PDF, Excel or Google Sheets.

UK Payroll - Show leave balances in days and hours
Offering a simple update to the Xero system which would dramatically improve one grey area:
I had a discussion with my team and it's a common topic that keeps coming up - we find it very awkward having the 'Time Off' allowance displayed in 'Hours'.
Just like some other tracking systems, they allow you to see your 'Time Off' as 'Days' which is much easier to glance at - instead of having to continuously calculate hours, which takes time and can cause confusion on some occasions.
We would all very much appreciate it if you at least give the option…
259 votesHi team, we're happy to share that we've recently released a couple of updates to solve for the needs here!
- Payroll admins can now view employee leaves balance in weeks, days and hours where the employee has a consistent working pattern set up.
- On the employee front, you'll be able to view leave balances in hours and (days) within the Xero Me app.
We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone for contributing here and being engaged with our product team to deliver functionality that's most impactful for our customers.
We have more enhancements coming to the Xero Me app soon, stay in the know through the Long and Short of it, and releases on Xero Central.
