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 - 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 - Add tracking to NI, PAYE & pension
I would like to be able to allocate a team tracking category to each employee on our payroll, this way when the payroll journal pulls through, each employees salary, Er NI, pension costs and any benefits will automatically be allocated to their team.
I do quarterly reporting for our client and as it currently is, each quarter I will have to manual journal all the above accounts from an unassigned 'team', back into the same account but allocated to their correct team. I will have to work out the amounts to credit out looking at the detailed report and manually…

Payroll AU: entering minutes on pay runs
Be able to enter time on pay runs as minutes eg (0:35) or as decimals (0.5833)
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding minutes to pay runs! If your employees aren't already using timesheets, they can submit them using hours and minutes. For example, if an employee logs 7 hours and 35 minutes, Xero will automatically calculate this as 7.583 hours in the pay run.

Payroll AU - Auto Super: Move the "Mark as Paid" button
Is it possible to move the "Mark As Paid" button in the Super - Several times I have nearly clicked on this inadvertently when I am busy or going to answer the phone when I am processing this😮
2 votesI just wanted to provide a quick update on this idea.
We’ve recently made an update to the Mark as Paid flow to help prevent accidental clicks. An additional warning message now prompts you to re-confirm before completing the action.
We’ll continue to track support for this request. Make sure to share this page with any colleagues so that more feedback on this topic can be captured!

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.
It would be useful if I could see a full breakdown of each employees details that are submitted in the FPS in excel format as the current XML is not easily legible

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"
23 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’d love your help to shape these improvements. We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program. You’ll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.
If you'd like to help us build a better experience 📝 fill in our recruitment survey.
It only takes a few minutes, and we’ll be in touch soon with next steps. Thanks for your 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.343 votesHi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback about managing working patterns for part-time employees.
We’re pleased to share that we plan to begin rolling out working patterns in AU Payroll later this year.
The first release will allow you to set a one-week work pattern for each employee. This pattern will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run. At this stage, you’ll still need to update the employee’s pay template separately to reflect their standard working hours.
We plan to build on this foundation by connecting working patterns with standard hours in the pay run and supporting a broader range of working patterns. We’ll share more details as the first release gets closer.

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.

Aus Payroll Reports
The new inclusion of the Superannuation Processing is great, however, very annoying to have to leave Payroll & go to Reports to download the Superannuation Accruals Report. Can this be included with the Payslips, Payroll Employee Summary & other payroll reports in the View Reports tab in the actual payrun. Thank you for your consideration.

Aus Payroll - Timesheets.
Aus Payroll - Timesheets. Several issues arising after switching the new model. Payroll Authorisers should be able to see when an employee has submitted their times for approval. And you should be able to switch back to the new version & not have to wait 24 hours. I had an employee enter their times for approval, however, the timesheet was not approved & when I switched to the old version the timesheet simply disappeared.

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.18 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.
We’ve reviewed your idea, and now it’s over to the community to get involved. If this would benefit others you know, feel free to share it so they can add their vote too.

pension enrollment notification prior to submission
Notify of employee auto-enrollment PRIOR to submission. When you run a draft payroll and send payslips to clients it is extremely unhelpful that upon clicking 'submit' you get a notification a member has been auto-enrolled. You then have to quickly re-send that employees payslip and hope the client has not already sent payment otherwise you need to then remember to deduct the payment on the following payrun. It is time consuming and generally unhelpful. A pop up at the time of entering their hours would be much more useful.

Monthly "is this the last payment to the director in the tax year" yes/no selector
When a director leaves mid-tax year and the PAYE scheme is being closed as well, the annual reassessment of National Insurance needs to happen when they leave. It can't wait until 5th April.
When running payroll in HMRC Basic PAYE Tools, the user is asked to confirm whether this is the last payment to the director in the tax year. Xero doesn't ask this.
Xero payroll needs to be updated, so that it checks whether each salary payment is the last payment in the tax year, for any director whose NI is calculated on the alternative basis. If the user…

AU Payroll - pay rate template default in timesheet
When entering timesheets in the new timesheet experience, the employees templated pay rate no longer appears at the top of the dropdown. I need to scroll through all the available rates to locate the correct pay rate. Please bring this from the classic timesheet to the new timesheet experience. I don't know why you'd get rid of this function?
1 voteThanks for sharing how defaulting the employee's pay rate from the pay template would help you, Ashley.
Our teams are taking on feedback about the new experience and I'll share if there are any plans for this here.

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.

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.

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.
