add unpaid timesheets from previous period into current pay run
Unpaid but approved timesheets from a previous period to be able to added into current pay run just like what happens with leave.
If someone has approved leave for a previous pay period it is automatically added to the current pay run with a note showing the pay period it belongs to. This functionality for timesheets would be really useful. When employees miss a pay run due to submitting timesheets late, there's no way to add that into a current period pay run. You have to do an unscheduled pay run for the period on the timesheet. As this isn't…2 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team.

Payroll AU - Maximum leave accrual limit or expiry dates for leave types.
It would be good to make it possible to either set a maximum leave accrual, or set an expiry date for leave. An example where it could be used would be study leave. We have an agreement with employees that gives them 7 days of study leave per year. Any unused study leave is forfeited after two years. Currently we have to manually monitor and adjust the leave.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to Drag and drop hours between days
When entering hours and locations into the timesheet, if a day is selected incorrectly (for example, selecting Thursday instead of Friday), it would be very helpful to be able to drag and drop the hours to the correct day rather than having to delete and re-enter the time in the correct day.

Xero 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
2 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.

AU - Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee
Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee, not just as a total for all employees. Currently you have to select each employee to generate the totals for 1 employee and if you have 100 employees, that's 100 reports instead of just 1.
Exactly like MYOB does it, sample MYOB report attached.13 votesThanks for submitting your idea, Tom.

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…

AU Payroll - Apply time tracking to the draft pay run rather than timesheet.
the ability to add dates and tracking categories and attaching them to a project. when entering pays from Payroll > Pay Employees. I know that a journal can be done after the fact, but that is time consuming. Much easier, simpler, faster to do when entering hours.

AU Payroll - Add additional Payroll employee for a charge
Please allow adding on an extra employee for payroll in Australia, as is possible in the UK.
The Ignite plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add an extra employee means paying more than double, which is cost prohibitive.
Most businesses don't need the add on and accounting tools when you move up to Grow or Comprehensive - allowing for an extra payroll add on for a small charge, would be beneficial for family and small businesses.9 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting how important flexible payroll options are for your business.
We understand that needing to upgrade your plan just to add a few more employees can feel limiting—especially for growing businesses. Being able to add employees on a per-user basis could offer a more cost-effective and flexible solution.

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group
Could you look into allowing employee groups to allow the set up different employee group with distinct expense accounts for direct cost based employees versus administrative staff (for example). this provides a better way to categorize and track labor costs as either direct costs or expenses (variable versus fixed)

AU Payroll - Match decimal places for Leave and timesheet hours when using start and finish times
Entering leave and timesheets need to tie in together. Currently if an employee enters start and finish times on their timesheet it creates four decimal places and when they enter leave for the same day it does not link to the timesheet and the employee enters their leave with two decimal places resulting in the days pay not being the full hours for the day. The reports for timesheets need to default to four decimal places if that is how it is going to be calculated.

Payroll AU > enter balance reducing deductions
It would be good to see deductions being set up for a fixed amount to deduct each pay until a total amount is reached with the option of paying the deduction to a third party bank account. Having to complete this manually and keep track is archaic!

Global Pay run
Xero should not get rid of global payrun it is a very useful feature that will make things more difficult for small businesses
14 votesHi team, we appreciate our customers that have been using our Global Pay Run feature, however we cannot extend use of Global Pay Run past 23 July 2025.
To make sure you have access to your pay run data after the product is removed from Xero on 28 April 2026 we must have enough time to archive and store it.

Xero Me | Sync timesheets from Practice Manager (XPM)
This was originally raised in 2022. The request hasn't been acted on yet. The 2022 request is being closed due to lack of support.
However, the lack of support is likely to be an indication that current Xero Partners aren't using XPM for recording time, and/or aren't using Xero Payroll. XPM improvements over the past 18 months show that they are investing in that product. Xero Payroll has also been significantly improved in the last 18 month. If Xero wants it's Partners to go full Xero and by extension encourage our clients to go full Xero, then they have to…
2 votesThanks for your suggestion about syncing XPM timesheets with Payroll, Rebecca. We see how this could add value and reduce manual work.

Create a draft bill when superannuation is submitted for payment
When superannuation is approved for payment, Xero could create a draft bill with totals for each staff member in the draft bill. The total should equal the approved super payment. this is similar to how the Activity statements create a draft bill. We just add in account codes etc which may be missing and then approve the bill. Then the payments can be auto-matched.
