AU Payroll - Allow to change settings for Decimal places.
Pay rates rounding by 4 decimal points causing an underpayment of wages. EG: Base rate is 25.65 x 1.5 = 38.475000 but the award rate is actually 38.48. Need a solution for this ASAP. Also change decimal place settings for pay slip and pay template items such as superannuation.

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.

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…

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.4 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 - Ability to process payroll for multiple HMRC PAYE schemes.
I temporarily suspended working through my UK Limited Company during COVID, and I was advised by my accountant to close my Payroll. When I resumed Ltd Co operating I discovered that it was impossible to create a new Payroll against my existing Organisation in Xero. I now do my payroll in Sage, at extra cost.
Have you fixed this ? (I don’t have time to search hundreds of existing ideas)

UK Payroll - Option to download RTI files in excel format
i have a query to resolve with HMRC regarding the difference between what is showing on our P32 and what payments they have taken/ FPS file received.

AU Payroll - Add a link from timesheets that takes users back to the draft pay run
There is a link from an employee's draft pay run to their timesheet, but not back to their draft pay run. It would be helpful if there was a shortcut to go back from the timesheet to the pay run.

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.339 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…

AU payroll: Employee notes to display directly on new timesheet
Option to Choose Employee Timesheet Print Layout (Classic vs New)
The July 2026 update to the employee timesheet print layout has significantly impacted our business workflow.
Prior to July 2026, employee notes entered through Xero Me were displayed directly on the printed timesheet. This allowed us to quickly identify where an employee worked on each shift without having to open every individual note.
Since the update, the printed timesheet only displays "View Notes" instead of the actual note. While this may suit some businesses, it has created a major administrative burden for organisations like ours.
Our nurses regularly work across…

Bill Payments - Pay Items Order
Put Pay items in alphabetic order. Why has this changed in the first place and why is it not possible to fix? When you need numerous pay items for different areas and times of the day it is SO time consuming to have to scroll through every item to find the one you need. And they there are a lot that are similar so you have to concentrate on exactly what you need. This is such a VERY basic need, I can't believe it's not fied back to what it was a month ago.

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
20 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.

Payroll AU: Standalone pay calculation tool within Xero
It would be extremely useful to have a standalone pay calculation tool within Xero Payroll that allows users to preview an employee’s pay calculation without needing to create a draft pay run.
This tool could show wages, PAYG withholding, superannuation, net pay, earnings types, and multiplier calculations in one clear view.
This would allow payroll users, accountants, and bookkeepers to quickly confirm that employee pay templates are set up correctly, verify award rates, overtime, allowances, and changes, and confidently review calculations with clients before processing payroll.
It would reduce unnecessary draft pay runs, improve efficiency, and help prevent payroll errors.

Ability to Archive Old Payruns - I have a screen that is clogged up with payruns for long since departed employees and associated payruns from 10 years ago.

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.
