AU Payroll - Ability to export and import pay items and rates
Ability to export pay items and update pay rates in a spreadsheet and then re-import when pay rates have been updated. Would save so much time each year when Fair Work increases pay rates.
87 votesThanks to everyone following this idea. We understand how being able to import and export pay items would positively impact your review processes.
Though this isn’t currently in the roadmap, we see the value this’d bring in regards to pay award updates. We’ve updated the idea status to accepted and we’ll share any future developments, here. Your input in idea’s is always appreciated.

In the meantime, it may be useful to note that the classification field is an editable field and is included in the remuneration report.

UK Payroll - Amend previous RTI submissions
It would be great to be able to change an existing payrun (without using an unscheduled one) and submit an additional FPS relating to that month. Also being able to submit an additional FPS relating to a month that has already been submitted and no changes made, but sometimes HMRC pulls through the data incorrect their end and they need just an additional FPS submitted to pull it through correct but this is not possible currently.
24 votesThanks for sharing your idea on RTI amendments. As you're aware, in Xero payroll any amendments need to be processed with an unscheduled pay run. When posted this submits a new RTI to HMRC with updated YTD figures rather than updating the previous RTI.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

AU Payroll - Automatically transfer PAYGW and Superannuation liabilities to separate bank account
My small business client came up the idea that when we download the aba file for our payroll, it would be great to have the option to pay total PAYGW & super liabilities into a nominated bank account.
This sets aside the money ready for the BAS'es, IAS'es and super.3 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

AU Payroll - Shearers tax scale
Currently you are able to select the tax scale Horticultural/Shearers but there is no default tax rate attached. Apparently if employee falls under this scale you need to select for reporting to ATO which means you have to then manually calculate tax when you do the pays which is not possible if you have multiple employees knowing which employee wants what rate as they all do not use the default. This also leads to errors if not picked up it doesnt calculate automatically. May I suggest that we urgently attention to have the default ATO tax scale rate included with…

AU Payroll - Ability for timesheets to not override Pay Template
When a Pay Template has been created for an employee, only the matching Earnings Rate should be overwritten by entries in Timesheets. Any other Earnings Rates that are set up in the Pay Template should still should still be available in the Payslip - they shouldn't have to be added back in again when processing the pay run. For instance, Fares & Travel Pattern Allowance needs to be paid over and above the Ordinary Hours recorded on the Timesheet. If it is listed on the Pay Template as an Earnings Rate for an Employee it should appear regardless of whether…
97 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having approved timesheets not override the pay template.
We appreciate you sharing how important this is for your payroll processes, to avoid manual payslip corrections.
Some members have shared alternative processes, such as keeping the timesheets in 'Draft' until after the pay run is posted.
We are moving this idea to Accepted to include it in a wider review of timesheets currently being scoped by our product team. Please note, this status does not confirm a timeline for development. We will update you here on any developments.

UK Payroll: Reporting - Run a report to calculate holiday pay based on a 52 week average
It would be really useful for those of us in the UK if we could run a report to calculate holiday pay based on a 52 week average. Legally this has been a requirement since 2020.
93 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how important automated holiday pay calculations are for you.
We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted to show it's formally on our radar.
While we’ve already explored several options to automate holiday pay calculations, for the time being this is not a feature we have planned in our roadmap.
We understand some of you are managing these calculations manually. We’d suggest running the Payroll Activity Summary or Gross to Net report over a 52 week period to assist with these calculations.
We’re grateful for your feedback and will continue to monitor interest here.

AU Payroll | Payroll activity summary report - Select a group of employees
When generating the Payroll Activity Summary report, it would be good if I could select certain employees.
Currently you can only choose an individual or all employees.
86 votesHi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important selecting multiple employees is for you when running this report.
Our product team has reviewed this and agree this is something they'd like to develop, though it isn't currently on the roadmap. We’ll update the status to Accepted, so that it’s formally put up for consideration.
In the meantime, Kelly mentioned the Payroll Activity Summary report lets you run reports by employee groups, though we understand this doesn't fully meet your needs with the two tracking category limit.
We'll keep tracking interest here and update you if there's progress.

AU Payroll - Assign hours worked from a timesheet to projects
At the moment I am adding employee costs (wages) into xero projects.
We have an option with bills to assign a project to that bill be awesome to be able to assign hours worked (with cost) to each of our projects in the timesheet section, and to set per line be good.

Monday project 1 - $250
Tuesday project 2 - $300
wednesday project 3 - $25026 votesThanks for your patience whilst this idea is gaining traction.

AU Payroll - Permission - Function to allow leave authorisers to view Leave Calendar
It would be great for those Approving Leave, to also be able to View the Leave Calendar that is currently available to Payroll Admin users in the Overview Window. Those approving leave need to know who else is on leave for the requested period, which we currently replicate in our Email Calendars, however it would be great to take this step out, it will reduce time and eliminate errors.
69 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on the needs for leave approvers to view upcoming leave for their team. We appreciate you highlighting how important it is to have better oversight of team leave without needing full payroll access.
Our product team is looking into how this idea may fit into a wider review of team management in AU payroll. This is in the early stages of review so not currently on the team’s roadmap, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more.

We appreciate everyone for getting behind this idea and sharing thoughts on how important it is to track history of leave requests.
Our product team has been following this thread and agree that seeing who approved a request, and when, would add value to Xero Payroll. While we'd like to bring this to life, it isn't on our immediate roadmap.
We’ll continue to review interest in this request, and consider how we could surface the history of leave in future planning. We’ll post on this thread if there are any updates. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

AU Payroll - Recording TOIL hours worked as part of timesheet entry
It would be beneficial for an employee to record all hours worked in the timesheet including hours to be allocated as TOIL Accrual
i.e. employee works 35 hours, 30 hours ordinary and 5 hours to TOIL accrual?
Then when the employees wishes to take the TOIL, they submit a Leave Request as per existing functionality.Currently the employee needs to separately notify payroll regarding hours worked to be allocated to TOIL Accrual. And this doesn't go through the Supervisor Timesheet Approval process.

AU Payroll - Option to run unscheduled pay runs without processing leave
Unscheduled payruns - the ability to not include pending leave. When processing bonuses etc, Xero automatically puts in the up coming leave even though it is not appropriate to be included in this unscheduled payrun and should be in the standard payrun. Because we pay monthly this only exacerbates the situation. To have the option to not include the leave in that payrun would help with this.

AU Payroll - Setting award wages automatically
Have the ability to set the relevant Award Rates and applicable grade so the pay rates gets automatically updated each year when the award rate changes, rather than having to manually make the changes.
72 votesHi everyone, thank you for your feedback and for highlighting how much Award automation would help your payroll workflow.
While we don't have immediate plans to build this directly into Xero Payroll, there are fantastic tools available right now that solve this. We highly recommend exploring the Xero App Store, where several third-party integrations offer embedded Awards as part of their software. These apps are specifically designed to handle complex Award interpretation and can automate the manual matching process.
We are moving this status to Not in pipeline, but we’ll be sure to update you if that changes.

UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.

AU Payroll - Reports for Timesheet Approver
As an approver of timesheets i see there are couple of issues which can make the process water tight.
1.Ability to see approved time sheets (siimilar to leaves). Currently once the timesheet is approved for an individual there is no way to check what has been approved
2.Ability to run a report for all employees that have been approved or alternatively ability to allow access to certain reports to the approver.

Payroll reports | Timesheets - Export with Start/End & Notes
with the new functionality of adding start end times and notes, we are not able to print or download this data in any reporting. the only way we can SEE this info is in the individual timesheet by person.

UK Payroll - Ability to change Pay Periods
We have hourly paid employees who get paid 12 x per year with either a 4 week or 5 week pay period. At present, Xero doesn't give this option to change a pay period within payroll calendars. There are only set pay periods.
42 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on flexible pay periods. We appreciate you explaining how important this is, especially for those running 4-4-5 week structures.
The product team have reviewed this idea and, after looking into what would be involved, have confirmed it isn’t something we’re planning to add to Payroll in the foreseeable future.
We’ve updated the status to Not in pipeline. While we’re not moving ahead with this work, your feedback is still really valuable and helps us understand the different ways you’re running payroll in your business.

AU Payroll - Include commission & bonuses calculation on Schedule 5
Please fix the Schedule 5 PAYG calculation to include YTD commissions and bonuses as well as ordinary earnings. This is causing issues with tax not calculating automatically because the employee's only form of income is from commissions (real estate industry) and they are forced to report it under commissions for STP Phase 2 yet the calculation things they have $0 YTD earnings.
49 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on Schedule 5 calculations for commissions and bonuses. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for commission-based industries where commission is often the primary income.
Currently Xero payroll requires regular earnings to calculate Schedule 5 tax. We understand the current setup requires manual workarounds when employees have commission-only income.
Our product team has reviewed this idea and moved it to Accepted so it can be formally considered in future planning cycles. We'll keep you updated as things progress.

AU Payroll - Set a percentage on an employees bank account
Give the ability to set a percentage (i.e) 50% on an employees bank account when paying across more than one bank.
I have an employee who always splits her pay equally between 2 bank accounts, however she is a commission paid rep and therefore each pay amount is different. So the current function is no use to me- which allows a $$ amount to be set only. This is fine for set salaried employees but not for commissioned sales reps.
MYOB had a function where you could set a percentage on how much went to bank account 1, and therefore…39 votesThank you for suggesting the ability to split wage payments by percentage across multiple bank accounts. We’ve noticed this idea has been steadily gaining momentum since it was first raised.
To help it gain even more traction, feel free to share the link with your colleagues so they can add their votes. We’d also love to hear in the comments how this specific feature would improve your Xero experience.
