AU Payroll - All purpose Allowance tied into rate/over-time/loading, but on payslip show allowance portion as separate lines
STP2 - Splitting allowances for all purpose from the hourly rate
We have employees with all purpose allowances - ie it forms part of the base hourly rate and extrapolates in to overtime rates and annual leave loading. I now have to take it out of the rate and pay as separate line items including overtime and annual leave multipliers.
Is Xero in their pay templates going to make changes to say have a tick box to indicate an add on allowance to the rate so regardless of the pay lines (that are set up as such) they multiply they…

UK Payroll - Support for HSBC BACS payment files without a service user name
Add a template another file option for payroll. HSBCnet allows file uploads with a SUN however as Xero does not have this template it means only options is to apply for a SUN and increase costs of paying our payroll. We need a file that accommodates ACH CR BACs (non-SUN) files. Requirement is Xero payroll ERP configure the file without a SUN then please ask them to do so, as it should be identical to the one we have tested for supplier payments, meaning the word ‘HSBC’ should be quoted on the VOL1 line and the areas where the SUN…
10 votesHi everyone, thanks for providing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important different payment files are as some banks don't accept the file exported from Xero.
You might have seen from a related idea that our product team is currently testing a new feature to allow direct wage payments from Xero payroll.
While this is not exactly what you’re suggesting, an integrated payment feature would defeat the need for manual payment file exports. We'll be back to share more updates on this.

27 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing the time it takes to manage timesheets.
Bulk approving timesheets is something we’d like to address in the future.
While we aren’t in a position to start building this just yet, updating the status to Accepted ensures it’s flagged for consideration during future planning.
We’ll continue to monitor the interest here and will provide further updates as they become available.

AU Payroll - Reset leave accrual on anniversary date
Set up leave so that it automatically tops up at the start of the year with a set amount.
I have an employee that has an arrangement of xhours per years to be used as they wish. At the start of each year this reverts back to the agreed hours. Any hours not taken during the previous year is cleared.11 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.

UK Payroll - Automatically update tax code
If I run the payroll on say the 22.07 and then a P6 arrives effective from say 25.07 it wouldn't be updated automatically. Surely it should be updated regardless of whether the date relates to a previous period or not? This frequently happens. I can't think of an example of when you wouldn't want the tax code to update automatically?

AU Payroll | Payslip - Change formatting of payslip file name
We would like the ability to change the subject line of the payslip email. It would be useful for example to add a date to the end of the payslip PDF file name. eg payslip_20220519 That way easy to save and file each slip without having to rename. It may also be useful to add information such as the word "Confidential" for compliance reasons.

AU Payroll - Monthly calculation based on hours worked in month
Update the monthly payroll to calculate based on the number of work hours in the month, rather than taking the yearly salary / 12 / number work hours. Given that each month has a different number of work days, the pay rate changes every month and this is a compliance issue.

UK Payroll - change the standard password, set by Xero, when emailing payslips

Purpose - if emails were hacked, the current standard password (initials & birthdate) set by Xero is easily guessed. It should be possible within Xero to change this standard password.

Payroll - Feature for Cayman Islands
I'm an experienced chartered accountant relatively new Xero user. I'm flummoxed by the inclusion of payroll transactions in the "bills to pay" section. While the detail is hidden from some users, some personal payroll transactions (related to overpayment) have become viewable by users without payroll access. Even summary transactions should not be viewable by people without payroll access.
All payroll transactions should be in a separate section to avoid confusion and any breach of privacy.
I cannot, for the life of me, see the rationale for including payroll transactions in this area in the first place.
1 voteHi Steve, appreciate it hasn't been too long since I last updated you here. I wanted to round back with an update as we;re making changes to Global Pay Run. Meaning this product will be retired from April 2026.
With no plans for developing Xero payroll specifically for other regions at this time we'll shift your idea to Not planned, however I'd recommend exploring our Xero app store where we have multiple payroll app partners that integrate with Xero and could meet the needs of your business.

Global Pay Run - Ability to include company logo on payslip
Please allow the option to put the company's logo on the payslip.
12 votesHi all, returning to the idea here I wanted to provide an update in light of recent communications you may have received - We’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
This also means that we will not be making any more updates to our Global Pay Run product, and I'll move this idea to Not planned.
Between now and 23 July, as mentioned in my last post the best option here would be to use a pre printed letterhead to print…

UK Payroll - Add reimbursed expense to gross to net report
The gross to net report currently doesn't include reimbursed expenses, and possibly other things we haven't found yet so the net pay doesn't agree to the payslips! Please can we have a gross to net report that agrees to payslips? Failing that even a report that shows reimbursed expenses per employee would be better than nothing.

AU Payroll - Include date range in exported version of Payment Summary Details report
When running the Payment Summary Details report for a previous financial year, the report does not show the dates of the financial year the data belongs to. The report is titled Payment Summary Details as at Today's Date. For example: it should show Payment Summary Details reporting period 1st July 2017 - 30th June 2018. For audit purposes, there is no way of determining the date range the reported data relates to.

Global Payroll: YTD Earnings and deductions on Payslips

UK Payroll - Ability to have Payroll week number on payslip
The ability to have the payroll week number showing on the payslip if it is a weekly payroll, rather than just the tax month it falls into.
18 votesThanks for this suggestion.
This is a clear idea that would help employees on weekly pay schedules better understand which specific tax week their pay relates to, rather than just seeing the tax month or the date range.
We have marked this idea as Gaining Support so other users can vote and show the Community team how important this addition to the payslip is.
In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, you could manually add the week number to the Payslip Message field on the draft pay run (e.g., "Week 12") before posting it. This message will appear at the bottom of the employee's payslip.

Global Pay Run - Hide Voided Pay Run from Main Pay run page
Hiding Voided Pay Run from showing on the Main Pay Run Page.
It will be great to have a functionality that allows you hide payruns that have been voided from showing on the main payrun list.
When approved payruns cannot be edited, the only option is to void and create a new one. If a functionality can allow editing approved pay run, then there will be no need. But now, we need to have a function to hide the voided payruns.
A screenshot has been attached for clearer understanding for voting and implementation.
