AU Payroll - Allow non employees to submit timesheets through web and Xero Me
Create timesheet availability to Contractors set up in Xero payroll as Non employee.
Currently this is only available to employees.Require the ability to process timesheets to pay Subcontractors for hours worked on site so Super is taken into account but PAYG is not applicable.

We can see this idea has been steadily gaining support. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

AU Payroll - Show dates of leave transactions on payslips and reports
On payslips and in reports, I think there should be dates next to the following items so it isn't confusing for the employee and when checking reports. It makes it more transparent too.
Time In Lieu
Annual Leave
Sick Leave
Compassionate Leave

Payroll AU -Timesheet automatically calculate overtime
It's great that Xero Me now allow employees to add their own start, finish and break times but all hours appear as ordinary hours. Xero should have a warning prompt flagging this as it's easy to miss overtime hours and pay them as the default ordinary hours, which then needs an unscheduled pay run to correct the underpayments (assuming you work this out for yourself!). Public holidays should also be flagged so we can adjust pay rates (if needed) for these days.

UK Payroll - Calculate attachment of earnings deductions
Please can the ability to calculate attachment of earnings deductions be built into the payroll module?
69 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having Xero automatically calculate AEO & DEA as a percentage. We appreciate you sharing how you're currently managing these deductions in payroll.
As you’ve found, the existing Earnings Order pay item requires deductions to be manually calculated, which we understand impacts your workflows for employees with variable earnings.
We want to be upfront that there aren't any current plans to develop this in Xero payroll.
While automated calculations for Earnings Orders aren't on the foreseeable roadmap, we will continue to monitor interest in this space. Thanks for continuing to shape the future of Xero.

AU Payroll - Adding the USI to the Add Employee Superannuation Membership
When adding a new employee's super fund, being able to add the fund by entering the USI number.
If that can't be done, at least show the USI next to the super fund name so we can make sure we are selecting the correct super fund.
Currently to make sure I am selecting the correct super fund in Xero when adding a new employee, to confirm the USI I need to go to my organisation, settings, payroll settings, superannuation and then, because I can't sort alphabetically or search for a fund name or USI, I basically have to add a…

US Xero Payroll - Ability to delete or apply credits to 'old' bills to pay
I have multiple 2018 bills to pay generated from the US Xero Payroll feature that I can not delete nor apply credit memos to. Those were always "locked" bills. I've been trying to void or zero out these bills for years and apparently, there is no way to actually do this. I've spent hours with customer support to no avail. Please put something in place to allow users/me to accomplish this task. My AP bills are messy and my cash basis balance sheet is messy. Journal entries are not a solution as the bills will never go away using this…
4 votesHi team, we appreciate your input in Product Ideas and the idea shared here. Since US payroll was removed from Xero in 2019 we don't have any plans for making changes in the product for this.
We understand it's not the ideal solution however if you have tax bills or payroll transactions that weren't marked as paid before Payroll was decommissioned, you can post manual journals to adjust the balance of the relevant accounts.
While you can post manual journals to most accounts in Xero, there are some exceptions such as accounts payable. You'll need to use other methods to make adjustments to these account balances we have some help to guide you on this in Xero central.

UK Payroll - Email payslips before posting pay run.
Allowing the payslips to be emailed before posting to HMRC to check for any errors would be great. We have multiple users involved in the payroll data input and there are usually one or two errors as there are many expenses claims. Being able to do this would make life so much easier for us.
15 votesHi everyone, thanks for your patience as we reviewed this. We understand that being able to verify payroll details before posting is crucial for avoiding errors.
This isn't something we have plans for in the near term, however you can still review employee data by downloading the payroll reports available within draft pay runs.
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.

UK Payroll - Pay employees directly via Open Banking
With the advent of Open Banking, it would be great if when you submit the payroll, it could also utilise OB to physically make the payment to the employee also. This would help automate the whole payroll process.
16 votesHi team, we appreciate anyone that was involved in testing of this feature, and I'd like to share that work for this has progressed .
We look forward to offering direct wage payments via open banking with Crezco to all UK payroll orgs soon.

AU Payroll - Timesheets: See selected approvers on timesheet
See who was selected as an approver by employees. If we have been selected as an approver by the employee, it is currently impossible to know if they also selected their appropriate approver to know if we should reject the timesheet or leave or if we can wait for the appropriate approver to approve the timesheet or leave.

AU Payroll - Support for Superstream Alternative File Format
We need to be able to export SAFF (ATO super compliant files) to Superannuation clearing houses. I am unable to upload a file as Xero is not SAFF compliant.

AU Payroll - Employees - Emergency Contacts and Emergency contact report
Ability to add employee’s emergency contacts and export it.
Purpose: Users can have their employee’s emergency contact in case they need to contact them.
66 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how important accessing emergency contact information is for your team's wellbeing. We understand your desire to include emergency contact details in payroll reports.
This isn't something on our current roadmap, however our product team has reviewed this and moved it to Accepted status for future consideration.
In the meantime, some members mentioned valid workarounds such as reviewing the details directly in the employee record or creating an emergency contacts list outside of Xero.
We'll continue monitoring community interest as we plan future updates to Payroll reports.

AU Payroll - Ability to calculate protected amount for child support deduction
Currently payroll is only able to child support as a deduction.
In Australia, there is a protected amount that employee needs to earn before the deduction is taken out of their pay. There isn't a function that will allow this currently.
Payroll officers manually have to keep track of this and remove the deduction if protected amount is not reached. Small businesses with a few employees would be able to keep track but for the likes of a bigger business with more than 20+ employees, this would be a nightmare.

AU Timesheets - Change time entries to four decimal places (up from two)
Change decimal places for hours to 4 decimal places instead of 2. When hours are imported from Tanda it shows errors, as Tanda exports to 4 decimal places for more accuracy

AU Payroll - Tracking/Department Coding for reports
Payroll Department Coding - to be able to put a department code on all payroll categories and report to show employee name/gross wages/department coding assigned to payroll. The only way in Xero at the moment is through timesheets but this does not allow for all payroll categories to have a department code allocated. And when producing a timesheet report it does not show the $ gross wages for each employee only the hours. Need to include coding on allowances, leave and super.
54 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on payroll tracking. We understand some of you want to see gross wages, tax and super broken down by department and timesheet categories.
In May 2025 we released an update which allows super and leave to be allocated to employee groups, which helps track full wage expenses across departments or cost centre.
As you’re aware, our timesheet reports can be filtered by tracking categories, however the reports summarise hours rather than a total wage breakdown.
We've shared this idea with our product team. We really appreciate the feedback however further payroll tracking features are not in the near term roadmap so we'll update the status to Not in Pipeline at this time.
We’ll continue to monitor your interest and feedback as we plan future improvements to Payroll reporting.

UK Payroll - Access to communal time off calendar for employees
UK Payroll- Access to a communal time off calendar for all employees.
As a smaller business we try to have one employee off at a time where possible- it would be hugely useful if they could access a shared leave calendar in the same place as they request leave & submit timesheets from. This would pull data from my admin overview calendar and stop me having to create external calendar in iOS and another in android which leads to missing data etc and wasted holiday requests. They could see if the leave they want is available prior to the request.34 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

We've reviewed this suggestion and agree it’s a need that we’d like to address in the future.
