UK Payroll - Split tax across weeks when processing holiday pay in advance
I have moved a clients payroll from Sage to Xero. They have weekly wages and pay holiday in advance. In Sage it would calculate the week wages plus week holiday to allow for the tax free allowance for both weeks. In Xero the tax is higher in the week and the following week when a payrun of zero is processed then a tax refund would show to compensate. Is Xero able to replicate this process in Sage.

NZ Payroll - Customise descriptions on payslip
It would be beneficial for clients who pay commissions to be able to customise the description on the pay slip (rather than showing just 'Withholding Income') or having to set up various 'Pay Items'.

UK Payroll - Add filters to all reports, i.e. leave overview and Auto enrollment.
It will be great to have meaningful payroll reports. E.g., the leave overview is a blunt tool, as it shows all employees, including those who have left. The same applies to the Auto Enrolment Summary Report - it is a basic on-screen report with no filters, etc. And, yes, includes historical employees. Where there are filters, these overlook some choices which should be present. E.g., wage type, which payroll runs are they- monthly, quarterly, weekly, etc

AU Payroll - Change leave type while keeping existing information entered
When you go to enter a leave request manually (not employee entered), if you select the dates first, and then realise 'oh I meant this to be sick leave, not annual leave' and change the leave type, the dates 'reset' to current date, and don't retain the information you've already entered.
This means you can accidentally enter an incorrectly dated leave request, having done all the hard work of calculating the hours and dates, then realised at the last second that the 'type' of leave is wrong - everything resets!

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group
Could you look into allowing employee groups to allow the set up different employee group with distinct expense accounts for direct cost based employees versus administrative staff (for example). this provides a better way to categorize and track labor costs as either direct costs or expenses (variable versus fixed)

AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
Currently employees can add into their timesheet a bonus or fixed amount pay item, but in Australia it seems Xero won't let the Payroll Approver actually approve a timesheet with a fixed amount item in it. So i have to take note if a certain employee is supposed to get a bonus this week, then delete it from the timesheet and then manually input it in the pay employees section.
There is so much room for error and employees risk missing out on wages they…1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about allowing users enter fixed amounts such as bonus/commission to timesheets.

NZ Payroll - Auto accrual of alternative leave
Auto accrual of Alternative Leave - It would be great if there was a permanent payment item setup in Xero for public holidays worked, and when it is used Xero automatically accrued the alternative leave earned. Or at least make it more obvious that you have to manually adjust the alternative leave accrual in each pay.

AU Payroll - Automatically remove allowances in payslip during annual leave
When calculating annual leave the ordinary hours changes to include allowances. The loading is then based on this figure. However the allowances are still included as separate lines on the pay template and need to be removed manually. Can this be automated as it needs to be done manually for all employees for every annual leave period?
I can opt not to include allowances in the calculation, but it makes sense to gross up allowances in the ordinary rate for this purpose.5 votesThanks Lisa, for sharing your idea!

AU Payroll - Make Pending Approval button more obvious
I've tried to use the automatic super payments SOOOOO many times and was lost in it forever - now I realise there is a PENDING APPROVAL BUTTON that has to be pressed - I had not realised it is a button.
My idea for improvement is to make this look like a button and not just a highlighted word.
In pic you can see 'pending approval' is highlighted, but so is 'withdrawn' - which is not a button. In Xero all the buttons are larger and shaped as rectangles and unified. This could be much clearer.2 votesHi Kylie, appreciate your feedback on this other post which I have turned into an idea of it's own so we can begin to track interest from the community in this here.
We'll let you know here if there are any planned changes for that Pending approval button 😊

NZ Payroll - Ability to add a description field to pay template deductions

leave application does not calculate correct no of hrs
In the leave applications, the system calculates the number of hours per day based on the monthly hours set up in the pay template, divided by the number of business days in that month. As a result, payroll staff must manually adjust each leave application to reflect the correct hours.
For example, if an employee is full-time working 7.6 hours per day, with 164.667 hours per month, and the month has 22 business days, the system generates 7.4848 hours per day in the leave application. Manually correcting this for a large number of employees becomes very time-consuming.
If the pay…

Create New Timesheet Button / Timesheet Template
On the create timesheet tab once a new timesheet is created can we have "create a new timesheet button" added so that we dont need to go back to the timesheet to create a subsequent new timesheet, much in the same way as when you create a new invoice once approved a "create new invoice" button appears towards top of the screen. This would speed up the creation of multiple timesheets. Another time saver would be a timesheet template for each employee which would save having to manually add in payment rates ie. ordinary time, sat, sun each time a…

payslips
Ability to schedule the emailing of payslips for a future date.
Often pay runs are prepared in advance (due to holidays etc) and it would be useful to have the ability to schedule the emailing of payslips at a future point in time. Payslips are best emailed on the date of payment as employees are often confused if they are emailed on a date prior to payment.

AU Payroll - Include a comparison field in Payroll Reports
Payroll reports - it will be good to have a COMPARISION field on payroll reports just like the P&L - to compare with previous n number of months / periods.
While the grouping / summarizing features are good - they are limited to just reporting on a particular period.
Hence any Comparisions are tedious to run / export and consolidate on excel.
For. eg. I'd like to run a report to display :
Afternoon Shift Loading & Overtime work for a month OR the full FY with monthly columns.
Is this something we can get to without having to export…10 votes -
AU Payroll - Allow Pay Frequency updates (without deleting future Leave/Timesheets)
For pay frequency for an employee, it would be good to be able to change this even if the employee has a pending leave request. Future leave or unprocessed leave has no relationship to the pay frequency if I want to pay an unscheduled bonus or other payment. This is very limiting as I may not be in a position to approve or process the leave before I need to change a pay frequency on an employee.
