AU Payroll - SMS code for super to include amount of the batch as well
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?
6 votesThanks 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.

UK payroll - Order pay run by employee number
My employee's have existing payroll numbers so it would be easier to run a payroll in number order. Can this option be looked into please?
8 votesThanks for sharing your idea, currently you can't reorder the employees in the pay run or when you download the payslips in bulk. I understand how that flexibility might be a benefit.

Payroll NZ: Process and pay deductions via payroll payment file.
It would be really helpful if Xero Payroll allowed a bank account to be linked to a specific employee deduction.
This would mean that when the deduction is processed through payroll, the amount could be included in the payment file and paid at the same time as the employee’s wages. Currently, these deductions need to be paid manually, which creates an unnecessary extra step and makes the process quite clunky.
Other payroll systems I’ve used, including PaySauce and iPayroll, already have this functionality.
It would also be useful where a deduction relates to a specific debt or loan for the…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea. Currently, the payment file generated by Xero is only for employees' wages, however I can understand how this might help manage statutory payments such as fines and child support.

Payroll AU: child support payable report
Insertion of a child support tab in payroll processing - Can you put a tab (just like Pay super tab) with the drop down list in payroll so it creates a list just like the list in pay super. I currently have to go into chart of accounts list to find out how much child support to pay.
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea about having a defined report showing you payable child support amounts. As you're aware you'd currently need to audit the specific account code to see what's been reconciled previously.

Payroll NZ | Timesheet - show submitted leave days when creating timesheets.
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.

AU Payroll - Option to hide terminated employees from drop down lists in Reports
Having the ability to view only current employee names in drop down lists in Reporting, unless archived employee names are also needed, would be great. Perhaps a tick a box to include archived names in the list?

Payroll AU: Timesheets: Toggle pay items which can be seen in timesheets.
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…6 votesThanks 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 - Search for staple superfunds
Would be great if Xero can do the search for employees staple fund especially when Payday super comes in
6 votesHi Kim, Thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026, and we’re also aware the ATO is currently building a Member Verification Request (MVR) system as part of the broader industry changes.
Feedback like this is really helpful as these changes continue to develop. If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help.

UK Payroll - Monthly P30 report
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.

UK Payroll - Display number of employees in the payrun
It would be very useful to have a feature in the pay run screen that displays the total number of employees selected for payment once employees are ticked off for processing.
This would be particularly helpful for advisors, accountants, and payroll bureaus when calculating payroll billing for clients. In many cases, not all employees listed in the payroll are paid in every pay run, as some employees may be inactive temporarily, unpaid, or excluded from that specific pay cycle.
Currently, users may need to manually count the selected employees, which can be time-consuming and increases the chance of errors. Having…

Payroll AU: Filter super payable by pay frequencies
Filter Super Payables by Payroll Run Name
Add a sort function to Super payable by Payroll Run Name
This will allow easy reconciliation of the super payment approval amount to the payroll run concerned.
We do multiple pay runs for different departments on 1 day so to be able to sort by pay run would be a great improvement & time saver.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about filtering super payments by individual pay runs rather than just by pay period.
As you noted, when multiple pay run schedules share the same period, the current filter doesn't separate them. As a workaround, you can open the specific pay run and select Make Payment > Pay Super, as this will group the superannuation exclusively for that specific pay run.

NZ Payroll - Make multiple draft pay runs
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

AU Payroll - Process payroll from Xero accounting app.
Would love to be able to access payroll data and process payroll from ipad app. Instead of having to loggin into safari or google to lodge payroll. I can nearly use every aspect of my daily xero usuage through the app and then need to log in somewhere seperately to do payroll. To be able to do it on the app as well would be amazing
4 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about a dedicated Xero Payroll app! As you're aware the Xero mobile app is a companion to the main Xero web platform. It allows you to monitor finances on the go like creating invoices, and reconciling transactions. Because it is a companion app, it doesn't include all of Xero's web features such as payroll.
We appreciate your feedback, and we agree that having a fully dedicated Xero Payroll app could be incredibly useful for managing your team on the move.

UK Payroll - Working weeks in year default
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
7 votesThanks 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.

Payroll AU: adjust warning notification in unscheduled pay run
When making an unscheduled pay, add a warning for the user to review the distribution of the pay in the bank account section of the employee file. The reason is that if you make an unscheduled payment, which could be for many reasons, it cannot be assumed that the wage distribution to multiple bank accounts would be the same.
1 voteThanks for your feedback on the prompt when you're processing a unscheduled pay run. When creating an unscheduled pay run, you'll need to review all pay-run details and payslips manually before posting.

UK Payroll - Bulk Export of Employee Data
UK Payroll - Bulk Export of Employee Data
We sometimes need to TUPE staff across from one payroll to another when a business changes hands. If both businesses use Xero, it would be really helpful to be able to bulk export the basic employee data from one and import it straight into a new Xero Payroll.
