Adding the super reports to the view reports in the process payroll window
I would like to see the Super payments report added to the "View Reports" at the bottom of the Pay Run window so that I can add this to the reports sent to the client for approval before I press the "Make payment - pay super" button.

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?

The 'New Timesheet Experience' has removed the ability to view all notes for the pay week, instead I can only view 1 day of notes
The new drop down buttons for notes only allow to view 1 day at a time rather than all notes for the working week. The (previous) classic version had the notes as regular text, just like the start and end hours, and therefore all the days notes were visible and printable for the week. I need the employees notes of their work activities for compliance and legal reasons
Please
1) remove the drop down notes and go back to displaying them all as regular text, or
2) have a tickbox to display all notes at once or
3) Include notes…2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

timesheets
On the new timesheet format, the daily totals have been removed. I am requesting that this be re-instated. This is important for tracking multiple jobs and overtime on a daily basis for both payroll and client billing purposes. It is much less prone to input error by the user to be able to see the total hours on a daily basis, rather than a pay run basis (weekly).

Under the new timesheets format, they daily hours have been removed. I would like to request that this be included in the new version.

Timesheet - Audit trail, 'Save & Next', go back to Payroll screen if clicked on from there
- New Timesheet layout has lost the ability to see when the timesheet was submitted or approved. This audit trail is imperative to my clients using timesheets as employees are not always been truthful about when they actually submitted the timesheet. If they miss the pay run they then blame us for not getting paid in the standard payroll.
We seriously need this functionality to stay. ** In the original timesheet screen you could only see the latest update (IE when it was submitted OR when it was approved). We need to see when they were submitted AND when they were…

Payroll (UK) - Bank holidays to automatically deduct from annual entitlement
Link the holiday group, working pattern and leave entitlement so it automatically deducts the relevant number of hours taken off for a bank holiday. Our contracts stipulate 28 days including bank holidays pro rated. The holiday group deducts the bank holidays on the pay slips but doesn't reduce the annual entitlement so the leave allowance is always higher than it should be. If you don't use the holiday group so you can circumvent the allowance being incorrect you then have to manually add the bank holidays for each user to ensure the pay and holiday allowance is correct which is…
9 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting what matters most to you. Currently you don't need to process a leave request for public holidays.
If an employee is assigned to a holiday group in their Employment information, Xero will automatically add a Bank Holiday/public holiday earnings line to the payslip and reduce their ordinary hours by this amount.
If you want a contract that’s “28 days inclusive of bank holidays,” you can set this up by either:
- Entering a reduced annual leave entitlement (for example, 20 days if 8 bank holidays are included).
- Not assigning the employee to a holiday group and treating bank holidays as part of their regular annual leave.

AU Payroll - Automatic Recording of Rostered Days Off TOIL hours worked as part of timesheet entry
We need a function that Automatically records a percentage or fixed time per day for an employees hours so it can populate an RDO leave section without having to manually enter in the value and rely on the employee to enter the data and the bookkeeper to manually enter the hours into the leave section when doing payroll
This will make the process automatic and streamline workflow

NZ Payroll - Add fixed allowance capability to timesheets
Currently, employees cannot add allowances to their timesheet if they are setup as fixed amounts (i.e - nightshift allowance where an employee works at night)
An employee should have the capability of adding the allowances they are entitled to where appropriate. The approver would then review before approving.

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!
3 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.

P60 dropdown in XeroMe
Recently sent out P60s and a member of staff has called to say that their P60 was incorrect. It turns out they had downloaded the wrong year from XeroMe (2023/2024 instead of 2025/2026). It might be helpful if the tax year showing in the dropdown was 2025/2026 and in chronologically decreasing years.

All pay items in employees pay templates can now be seen in employee timesheets. Add toggle on each as to 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…2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Payroll Journals - Customise Description for Transaction Reports to provide better context
When running reports to review Staff costs & looking into account transactions, Payroll journals provide descriptions that don't give correct/clear context. For example, under Employers Pension Contributions, the description provided is "Benefits" rather than Employers Pension Contributions. Or under Employment Costs it just says Earnings rather than "Gross Earnings". A final example was when an employee took unpaid leave, however the only description provided was "Deductions". This does not reflect clear context. It would be helpful if Xero had the means to be able to customise these descriptions or maybe have the option to ask Payroll/Reports to mirror the descriptions…
13 votesHi Sophie ✨, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We're well aware how the generic descriptions in pay run journals can be confusing when they don't align with your specific payroll settings. We understand that you've been using workarounds like exporting reports to Excel and manually editing them to get the detail you need. While this can help in the short term, we recognize it is a time-consuming process that shouldn't be necessary.We've shared your valuable feedback with our product team. As with all new features, we have to balance this against other development priorities. We can't promise a specific timeline, but the more support an idea gets, the higher it climbs on our list.

Payroll AU: effective start and end dates for pay items on pay template
Can we please have the ability to add effective start and end dates against pay items. For example, a deduction may only be for 10 weeks at a set amount. Rather than having to setup multiple notes offline to remind us of this, can we have this function setup in the payroll system so it only deducts the amount over the set period specified.

NZ Payroll - Automatically email payslips
Schedule payslip to be sent on pay day so we don't have to manually do this on pay day... currently I process payroll on a Saturday or Sunday, set up the payements for Tuesday and then have to login on Tuesday to send the payslips as I don't want to send them over the weekend when I process pay (while the employees are relaxing)

NZ Payroll - Filter Payroll Reports by Tracking Category
The problem:
Xero Payroll does not currently allow reporting by Tracking Categories (e.g. by location, cost centre, or department). While Tracking can be applied to invoices and expenses, payroll reports (Pay Runs, Pay History, Payroll Activity, etc.) cannot be grouped or filtered in the same way.
For businesses with multiple locations under a single entity, this means payroll costs cannot be easily allocated to the correct branch. At present, the only workaround is to export payroll reports to Excel and manually tag employees, or rely on journal postings into the P&L.
What’s already set up
Employees can already be allocated…6 votesHey Timothy! It's great to see ideas like this from the community, thank you for posting it.

AU Payroll - Report to show Working Holiday Makers
There currently is no report that incorporates a list of employees based on "Income type". Hence there is no filtering that can be done by "Income Type" either. As a company that employs people from multiple income types, this feature is something of importance to us. Manually creating, updating and managing a spreadsheet for this information seems workload heavy when it should be simple as the information is already a part of XERO's requirements for employee employment information. Knowing how many Working Holiday Makers you have on your books compared to non WHM's is of significance.
I would think many…
2 votesThanks so much for sharing how a report for working holiday makers (WHM) would help with your payroll!
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support and will be keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from other users.
In the meantime, a couple of handy workarounds are: using the Classification field (which appears in the Employee Remuneration report), or setting up Employee Groups, which are also available in reporting.

payroll and super and aba
Include Super in payroll .aba export.
Why does Super need to be treated differently to the other bank transfers included in a payroll .aba export? Include the transfer to the Super clearinghouse with the other transfers so we can skip the extra steps and external authorisation process (which is just weird and disconnected from everything else Xero).2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.
