  1. The maximum of 250 historic payslips needs to be removed, or an option to turn it on or off in settings.

    In legal forensic review work this is imperative.

    While you can create a transaction report beyond 250 payslips, this does not provide the ability to identify the actual incorrect inputs by someone historically beyond the 250 limit.

    There must be a simple setting in the background you can change or update, as when you add a new payslip, the earliest, previous payslip just drops off.

    DO it NOW please.

    Thanks so much for sending in your idea and showing us what matters most! We've taken a look, and now the next step is to gather community support. The more votes the better! Please encourage any colleagues who would benefit from this change to get involved and vote. Other members can also leave comments, adding more context on how your idea would improve their experience in Xero.

  2. As of this month, Xero is starting to check for national minimum wage for all employees which I am all for.
    However it is very annoying to have several employees flagged as not being paid the NMW when it is entirely down to Xero's rounding. See attached screenshot.

    In this example, an employee gets paid for 6.5 hours at £12.21. Xero pays them £79.36 (rounded down from £79.365).
    Xero's own NMW checker then flags this as below NMW because £79.36 is below £79.365.
    Please can a check be brought in, that if it is just because of Xero's own rounding,…

  3. Multiple users of Xero account (in accountants office) have payroll admin status for clients. When a payroll payment has been created we are all receiving emails. Should be an option to turn this off.

  4. It would be useful if XeroMe had an option for approvers to choose where their notification emails go (i.e. approvals for leave, timesheets and expense claims). Our workplace has recently set up XeroMe but our approvers are having difficulty because they have to remember to regularly check their personal email for notifications. Their choice at present is to link everything to their personal email and regularly check their personal email or link everything to their work email and have their personal payroll information sent to their work email.

    Additionally, if 2 approvers are selected, it would be useful if XeroMe…

    Thanks for sharing the details behind your idea. We understand the request to allow approvers to use a separate email address for Xero Me notifications. Having the flexibility to send approval notifications to a different email could help support a wider range of workflows while keeping personal and work communications separate.

    We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd like to use it.

    As this idea also includes a couple of additional suggestions, you will need to create separate ideas for those so the community can vote on each one individually and we can track them independently.

  5. When you approve an auto super payment it would be helpful if an account transaction is created in the bank account with the description detailing the underlying payruns the super payment amounts relate to (ie pay dates, employee total). This would then be matched to the withdrawal on from the bankfeed.

    When trying to reconcile what super has been paid and when this information would be very helpful in identifying late super from within the GL or account transaction report.

  6. The new drop down buttons for notes only allow to view 1 day at a time rather than all notes for the working week. The (previous) classic version had the notes as regular text, just like the start and end hours, and therefore all the days notes were visible and printable for the week. I need the employees notes of their work activities for compliance and legal reasons

    Please
    1) remove the drop down notes and go back to displaying them all as regular text, or
    2) have a tickbox to display all notes at once or
    3) Include notes…

  7. Could you please add the Superannuation Accruals report to the View Reports dropdown list in a payrun.
    This will be a great inclusion to the report options once payday Super kicks in and for those already completing payday Super.
    Adding this along with a Fast Click to Super payments from the payrun will make payday Super processes streamline for all.

    Thanks so much for sharing the idea to email historic payslips from directly in the Employee record.

    We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support and will be keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from other users.

    In the meantime, a handy workaround is to tick the payslips you wish to send from the employees record and then download them and attach to an email.

    Thanks 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.

  11. When codes are sent for payday super there needs to be a reference in the code for which batch it relates too. As if you are paying multiple batches you will receive multiple codes in a short period of time. How do you know which code relates to which batch?

    Thanks for raising this with us, Tracy. We can see how adding the batch amount to the SMS would stream line approving multiple payment batches and help approvers quickly review cashflow too.

  14. change the layout of the current payslip

    a) Payment details - electronic transfer to move under the correct column at the moment it appears under YTD

    b) YTD details to be moved to the bottom of the payslip within a separate table.

    At the moment the payslip is messy and employees find it confusing

  15. It would be great if Xero Payroll could produce a Monthly P30 report which we can send to our clients with HMRC bank details and the Accounts reference, with the month reference on the end.
    Other payroll software do this and it is really helpful for our clients.

  16. 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

  18. I would like the facility to change the default number of working weeks in the year. We work to 52.14 weeks per year and as Xero works on 52 weeks as an unchangeable default, the minimum wage checks - a useful feature - become meaningless

    Thanks for sharing your idea, I understand that with weekly payroll you can sometimes end up with 53 pay weeks in a year, and 364 days is not entirely 1 year.

  19. 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.

  20. There is a recent feature where all pay items in employees pay templates can now be seen in employee timesheets, however employees can only enter data in the format HH:MM (max 23:59) when doing timesheets via mobile app. Many pay items don't use HH:MM format (e.g. allowances for car, meals). I would like to see 2 things:
    1. The data format changed so that you have have other data entered, especially numbers as many pay items need this format.
    2. I would like a toggle on each pay item in employees pay templates, which allows you to turn on/off whether…

    Thanks for sharing your idea about limiting which pay items from the Pay Template appear in timesheets.

    Regarding adding other units for allowances to timesheets, I'd suggest heading over and showing some support these existing ideas:

    • AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances of other unit types
    • Xero Me - Add Unit option to Timesheets
