UK Payroll - In timesheets, automatically calculate Rolled Up Holiday Pay
It would be so helpful for Xero to have the ability to calculate rolled up holiday pay based on timesheets entered and show this as a separate line for holiday pay on the payslip.

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 - Search for staple superfunds
Would be great if Xero can do the search for employees staple fund especially when Payday super comes in
4 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.

AU Payroll - Ability to apply work patterns to part time employees
Suggest the ability to apply work patterns to part time employees. For example, we have a part time employee who works 7 hours on Mon, 6 hours on Tues and 6 hours on Wed.
At the moment, if a Public Holiday falls on a Monday, it does not correctly work out hours worked.
The same happens if Annual Leave is taken; incorrect hours are calculated which affects AL accruals.
Hours worked have to be calculated and added manually.330 votesHey everyone 👋 Thanks so much for all the detailed feedback on applying work patterns for part-time employees. We’ve been following the conversation and understand that manually adjusting pay runs for pro-rata entitlements can be a real challenge. It’s clear that having this automated could save time and give you greater peace of mind.
I’m pleased to let you know our product team has reviewed this idea and we’re updating the status to ‘Accepted’. This means that while it’s not on our immediate roadmap, it’s something we see real value in and want to bring into Xero when we can prioritise the work.
In the meantime, the workarounds shared here, like manually adjusting hours in each pay run, remain the best approach. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, as your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping Xero. We’ll keep you updated on any developments…

UK Payroll - assign Tips (non direct) to non-expense account
For the Xero Payroll pay item "Tips (non-direct)", as tips paid by a customer's credit card belong to the staff, not employer (i.e. current liability rather than company expense), please could Xero adjust the allowed payroll settings to be set up so that "Tips (non-direct)" can be posted directly to a current liability account, rather than only to a company expense account, the latter currently being the only available option.

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Ireland
It would be great if Xero was able to handle payroll services for Ireland. Available already for other regions.
3 votesHey all, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Ireland. Being upfront, we don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions. We will move the idea to Not in pipeline.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their app store listings to see which is the right fit for your business.

AU Payroll - Timesheet approval process upgrade
Timesheet approval process
- Give payroll admins the ability to move the status from "draft" to "pending approval" as is possible in NZ and UK or
- Give permissions to users with approval power to see the timesheet in the "draft" status through "Xero me" or
- Permit users with approval power to see the "timesheet" module in addition to "Xero me"
21 votesHi team, knowing that managing and reviewing timesheets is a big part of your work, we're working to make this easier for you in Xero Payroll.
We’re updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.

UK Payroll - option to bulk include/exclude all Employees from pay run.
For catering companies, or any business with many employees or recurring weekly staff, payroll can become stressful and very time-consuming. This is because all employees need to be unticked before running payroll for only those who actually worked in that specific week. Other companies face the same issue as well. Is there any shortcut to untick all employees at once before preparing payroll for the employees who actually worked in that week?
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes and comments on this idea. It’s clear that a simple 'Untick All' option when creating a pay run would save you a lot of time. We understand that manually deselecting employees one by one is time consuming, especially for those who have a large number of employees but only need to process a pay run for a few. We will keep this idea updated as we move through any design and development phases.

UK payroll: Download individual P11s
It would be useful to be able to download/print the P11's for an individual instead of it being a bulk download.

UK Payroll - report to include employee bank details
UK Payroll report to include employee bank details - would like a report to run employee contact details which lists existing bank details
19 votesHi Joanne, thanks so much for all your feedback and comments on this idea. We totally get how handy it’d be to have a report in Xero UK Payroll that includes employee bank details.
Not having something like this can definitely add extra work and hassle—especially when you need to send bank info to a third party or double-check payments.
Right now, the idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, which means we’re keeping a close eye on how many people are voting and sharing their thoughts. The more input we get, the easier it is for us to understand how important this is and where it might sit in our list of priorities.

UK Payroll - Group spend money transactions when paying multiple employees
When paying employees, instead of having 50 payments go through your bank account, its a bulk payment instead. One total payment (like a bulk payment made through your bank account where you get 25 payee's grouped together - Only the grand total shows in your bank account).
Making the accounting in Xero easier, also if Audited, quicker for checks.3 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. Whether your payroll appears as a single bulk total or individual lines depends entirely on your specific bank and the type of payment method you use (such as BACS vs. Faster Payments). Ultimately, whatever is recorded on your official bank statement is exactly what gets imported into Xero as a bank feed line.
That being said, we completely understand the request for Xero to automatically group these matching lines together on the reconciliation screen, or to provide a feature that allows you to reconcile all of them at once.

UK Payroll: Ceased Benefits YTD to remain on payslip
The year to date figure of any previous benefits (that have ceased during the tax year) should remain on the payslips for the whole of the tax year in which they were paid. For employees on a cumulative tax code, their year to date tax figure does not make sense without it. This should also be the case for previous pay elements (rather than grouping altogether into other payments), this is to keep a split of the taxable and non-taxable pay elements. Thank you!
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea on having YTD benefits appear consistently on the payslips. I understand benefits make up taxable earnings and should remain on the payslip.

AU Payroll - Process Negative Total Super Contributions in a Super Batch
With the upcoming PayDay Super deadline, we need the ability to process a negative total Super Contribution Category in a Super Batch. I've recently had the scenario where an employer added and incorrect Super Category to the employee's pay, and then paid the super. When processing the payroll for the following week we discovered the error, reversed the pay, created it again with the correct super category and then recorded the current (2nd) weeks pay. There were 2 lines in the Pay Super from the previous week, a positive & negative (net amount $0, negative one to reverse incorrect super…
4 votesHi everyone, thank you for raising this with us ahead of payday super.
Whilst our product team have reviewed this closely, due to the way the Automatic Superannuation payment works, the ability to include negative payments is unlikely to be on our roadmap. The idea has been moved to Not in Pipeline and voting for this idea remains open.
We appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but at the moment your approach to this situation aligns with what we recomend.
However if there's any change to the way Automatic Superannuation payments work that will allow our product team to review this idea, we'll let you know.

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…

AU Payroll Employee Summary - Chg Default & Make Customizable
Payroll Employee Summary currently reports as a default list of employees in alphabetical order when ALL is selected - if more than one employee group the default should be Employee Group/s.
Unless selecting ALL in either Employee or Employee Group, can only report on one individual employee or one employee group at a time (not particularly useful) - Both options should be customizable for multiple selections via a tick box option).
Payroll Employee Summary should also include Qualifying Earnings (new from 1 Jul26) as a reporting category.
Changes are sought for more concise summary reporting/costing of Employee Groups. Superannuation Accrual…

super maximum contribution
We need a customizable superannuation contribution limit that resets at EOFY.
We have several employees that will exceed the superannuation contribution cap, some that have negotiated a certain amount of excess contribution. With payday super removing the quarterly cap and only having an annual cap its even more critical to us that we can instate an upper limit that applies since these staff will accrue at 12% for only half the year.2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.
