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.

UK Payroll - Automate payslip sending based on payment date not when the pay run is posted
Currently you can only automate payslips to be sent based on when the pay run has been posted. I would like the option to send this on a specific time and date ie. on the actual payment date. Situation recently I posted the pay run 5pm the day before payment was made and using the automated schedule the payslip would not be emailed until 5pm on the date payment was made which would be too late for employees to receive.

AU Payroll - process payments for wages and super using .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 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We want to be transparent that adding superannuation payments into the payroll .aba export isn’t in our product team's pipeline.
This is because super payments need extra information that an .aba file can’t carry, such as a member number, USI, TFN etc.
.aba files are designed for standard electronic bank payments, so they can't upload this complex data in the file format required for super contributions.
For more detail on the changes coming with Payday Super from 1 July 2026, I’d recommend our Xero Central article. We’re also rolling out improvements to Auto Super and streamlining the payment workflow in Xero, so paying super after each pay run will be faster, easier and remain SuperStream compliant.

AU Payroll: ability to run a payroll via Xero app, even it's just to run a payroll that does not require any change. Could also include ATO filing and Payday Superannuation submit function.
I look after a small business, and payroll remains substantially the same throughout the year. Understand that if changes are required to say, pay rate, then web interface should be used. Leave to you consider what changes could be incorporated into the Xero app.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE ONLY", with it pending approval by Manager via XeroMe
It would be good for a Payroll Administrator to be able to Amend Leave Hours and "SAVE CHANGES", with it remaining as pending approval by Manager via XeroMe. It only gives the option to Reject or Approve? We really need 3 options. Save, Reject, Approve.

UK Payroll - Calculate pension contributions on pre-Statutory earnings
I Would like Xero to create a built-in feature whereby Employer pension contributions stay the same even during Statutory Pay Periods e.g. SMP or SSP.
This is common in medical practices where the practice must pay contributions based of the employees salary as opposed to the rate of SSP or SMP.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about keeping employers' contribution rates fixed while an employee is on statutory leave.
I wanted to let you know that it is currently possible to set pension contributions to a fixed amount, however appreciate this workaround won't suit everyone, especially those managing multiple employees.

NZ Payroll - Ability to add a description field to pay template deductions
Will it be possible to have "description field" in the Deduction field of the Pay template? That can be changed or updated directly on the pay template. For example, to add the ending date for staff loan deductions.

UK Payroll - Ability to map Earning/Deductions to both P&L and Balance Sheet codes

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.

AU 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.

AU Payroll: Automate Pay Runs
For any fixed salary employees, there should be an option to automate their regular (fortnightly/monthly) payruns. There's no reason why I need to manually create these for fixed salary employees.
Any changes to salary or leave balances etc are all managed separately via their respective employee records or leave requests.

casual employee paid a percentage of takings, Xero functionality calculate LSL
Casual employees who provide a services are paid a percentage based on their individual takings. Would be good if xero could incorporate this into paying LSL - Long service leave. If xero could so all working that are needed to come up with the hourly rate that is paid as all employees get a set hourly LSL amount of hours added every pay but the casual employee paid percentage work all different amt of hours and all different fees

Payroll AU: Download super payment report from a batch
Automatic superannuation>Payment batch details>Payment processing
Would you be able to add a print option to this screen?
After processing the Superannuation payment, this is the final screen that shows that the Superannuation payments are queued up for payment with Xero.
I would like to save this record in my Payroll batch for the Accountant.
This shows the Accountant that I have processed the Superannuation payment.1 voteHi Rachel, thanks for sharing this idea!
Currently it's possible to generate reports for paid and unpaid superannuation accruals by using the Superannuation Accruals or Superannuation Payment report.
However, we can definitely see the benefit and convenience of having a bespoke report that's downloadable directly from an approved batch.

NZ Payroll - Allow Employees to save a copy of a submitted timesheet for their records before approval/edits
It would be great for employees to have an option to save a copy of their Submitted timesheet, for their records. This means they would have proof of their Submitted timesheet to then compare to their timesheet once Approved.
Often employers may make edits to the entered hours or earnings types before Approving an employee's timesheet, and the employee having the option to save a copy of their timesheet before it is Submitted would mean they could directly compare the two, and check any edits made are correct.
1 voteThanks for highlighting this opportunity. We understand the request for employees to be able to download or save a copy of a submitted timesheet before it's approved or edited. Having access to the original submission could help employees keep their own records and refer back to what was submitted.

AU Payroll - Contractor Type for Performing Artists
Contactor income type for performers
Given the changes to the entitlement to Super for performing artists and a flat rate of 20% PAYG on the payment amount in the last few years, I'd like to see an income type for performers under Contractors. It would also be useful if there is pay item to include GST (being that they are ABN contractors who could be registered for GST - I believe NZ has something along these lines).1 voteHi Natalie. Thanks for sharing your idea for a preconfigured contractor type for Performing Artists.
In regards to applying GST for contractors, this is actually an existing Product Idea. I've added your vote to it so we can keep you updated :)
On this idea, we will focus just on the Performing Artist contractor type.

Payroll AU: Process Negative RDO Units in Timesheets
Would like to see the option to have negative line items within timesheets and in the Employee Pay Templates.
Currently, in timesheets and pay template you cannot enter a negative units value. This would be useful when entering RDO deduction to hours worked.
EG, john works 40 hours (8 hours per day) and is deducted -4.hours for RDO adjustment (-.80 per day).
Per day = 8 Hours* $60 per hour, less -.8 RDO adjustment* $60 per hour = $432 for one day.
It would be useful to be able to enter the '-.80 RDO adjustment line' in the timesheet and…
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea and letting us know you'd like to process negative RDO adjustments in timesheets. Based on how you're currently processing this, you'd need to add the adjustment to the draft payslip.
