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.

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: 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.

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

Payroll AU > Timesheets: Restrict pay items the payroll admin can select.
When entering a Timesheet only the correct pay rates, as set up in the employees rates, is shown in the drop down. This would prevent the mistake of choosing the wrong rate and prevent the payroll officer from having to remember everyones rates.

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.
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea. While bulk exports are not currently on our roadmap, I can see the potential time savings.

Payroll - Automatically pull across overtime to TOIL allowance in Leave.
If an employee does overtime which is TOIL, Xero should automatically pull this across into the leave allowances for the employee so that it can be taken. Currently you have to manually post everything which is time consuming.

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 - 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
24 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.

AU Payroll - Other payment options for Auto super
I currently process payroll in other systems for clients such as Beam and MYOB and they are not forced to set up their super payment via direct debit as Xero have done, they can pay via EFT or BPAY. A lot of small businesses are not comfortable with a direct debit process.

Payroll AU: Add Expiration Warning & Completion Alerts for Employee Self-Onboarding
I recently invited a new employee to self onboard-which is a great time saver. I put in a nominal expiry date and then I do not recall getting any notification that they had onboarded. A nice big notification in Xero when I logged in would have been great. I have been in and out of Xero all week for various other tasks and next minute I received an email saying their onboarding had expired. I had no option to retrieve her info and had to delete her and resend the invitation which made me look inept. Alternatively, Xero could keep…

Payroll AU: Feedback on Onboarding Process and Superannuation Selection
Hi Xero Team,
I wanted to share my feedback regarding the recent onboarding options you've made available in the software. Overall, I'm quite happy with the new onboarding process.
However, a few issues have been occurring consistently over recent weeks that are now affecting multiple clients.
One notable flaw is that employees entering their own superannuation details often don’t understand what they should be selecting. We’ve had multiple instances where employees have accidentally selected self-managed super funds. As a result, when we process the super for that week—since we don’t handle payroll or add information for these clients—the entire batch…
2 votesHi, thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback on on this! We don't have any plans to change the employee self-onboarding process at the moment.
However, we’d love to learn more about everyone's experiences and gather more feedback from the community on how this is impacting your workflows.
To help us gauge interest, we’re moving this idea to Gaining Support. Please share this idea with your colleagues and encourage them to vote and add their feedback.
Regarding the history log for self-onboarding, we actually have a separate feature request dedicated specifically to that. We encourage you to check it out, cast your vote, and share your support here.

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…11 votesThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").
