UK Payroll - 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.

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.

AU Payroll - Bulk update decimal points
Payroll template for employees have 6 decimal points. The bulk update pay rate only allows 2 decimal points with rounding, which make the pay rate incorrect.
There should be a setting that allow users to adjust decimal points to fit with each business set up.

P45
Why can the employee not have access to their P45 through XeroMe? If you can access payslips and P60s - surely it would make sense to access their P45.

Be notified via My Xero or Notification Alarm Bell of bounced or rejected auto super payments
New notification of bounced or rejected auto super payments for all Xero files we have access to, in a central area like "My Xero". This way we could check My Xero once a day to see if any payday super payments failed instead of sifting through emails and possibly missing the alert.
Alternatively, a notification could show under the alarm bell logo notifying us of any auto super payments that didn't go through.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

defer emailing of payslips
Deferring emailing of payslips.
We pay fishermen on an adhoc basis, we normally prepare their crew share a few days prior to our fishermen client getting paid for this fish. We don't pay the crew until the client has been paid. It would be good if we could defer emailing of the payslip until the date of payment. this would be a nice function. at the moment, we have to remember to go back into the payrun on the day of payment which just adds time.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
Feature Suggestion: Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
It would be extremely helpful if Xero could display the full pay period (From DD/MM/YY to DD/MM/YY) within the payroll pay window, rather than only showing the "Week Ending" date.
For example, instead of displaying:
Week Ending 05/07/2026
display:
Pay Period: Wednesday 29/06/2026 to Tuesday 05/07/2026
or
29/06/2026 – 05/07/2026I process payroll for multiple entities with different pay cycles and pay periods. Having the start and end dates clearly visible would make it much easier to confirm that the correct pay run is being processed, reduce the risk of errors,…

Change how Xero handles rounding in payroll calculations
UK Payroll - when the correct hourly rate is entered when setting up an employee, ensuring that it meets the requirement of the HMRC minimum / living wage, Xero should handle rounding in payroll calculations so that it does not create an unnecessary "under minimum wage notification". This notification means the calculation has to be checked, and additional work by adding an line adjustment to ensure the employee is not underpaid.
For example hourly rate £10.85. Hours worked 18.5. Total pay £200.725. Xero round this down to £200.72, which causes an "under minimum wage notification". In all other scenarios £200.725,…

Need "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" option for ALL Rate Types
When setting up new payroll items there is only the option "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" on the "Multiple of Employees' ordinary earnings rate" and not " Fixed Amount" or "Rate per Unit".
When you have several ordinary earnings rates that are not multiples it's a problem as then leave is not accruing on the additional earnings rates.
To fix this all Xero needs to do is simply add the "Accrue Leave for this Earnings Rate" checkbox on all items. I have asked Xero repeatedly over the last 4-5 years to add this feature and they give weak "workarounds"…

AU Payroll work pattern/rostering for Fulltime and Part Time Contracted Employees
Xero currently doesn't have a work pattern/rostering system in the back end of its Payroll system; it only has a pay template. I want to create work patterns for days/hours worked per day for each of my employees to streamline leave days/hours and provide visibility into my part-time staff. This would also help staff who are requesting a flexible work arrangement or a temporary contract variation after PPL, for example. A report could also be built on the back of this to identify staffing gaps. I have attached an idea of the functions required

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.
