AU Payroll - Include a comparison field in Payroll Reports
Payroll reports - it will be good to have a COMPARISION field on payroll reports just like the P&L - to compare with previous n number of months / periods.
While the grouping / summarizing features are good - they are limited to just reporting on a particular period.
Hence any Comparisions are tedious to run / export and consolidate on excel.
For. eg. I'd like to run a report to display :
Afternoon Shift Loading & Overtime work for a month OR the full FY with monthly columns.
Is this something we can get to without having to export…27 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

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!

UK Payroll - Tax code update emails
I wanted to set up email notifications when Xero receives a tax code change that it can't auto update.
As I am not logged in everyday I missed the effective dates of some employee tax code changes and then cannot effect the change on the correct date, as it doesn't back date far enough when manually changing the date.
I received a tax code change that Xero couldn't auto update 5 days, however I never saw the notification and now cannot back date the effective date to the correct date. I am unable to find where to have these pop…

AU Payroll - Notification when a pay run with a final pay is reverted
When a final pay is created the Annual Leave is automatically paid out. However, if that pay run is posted and then reverted to draft, the Annual Leave for that final pay gets zeroed without warning.
Not expecting or being aware of this behaviour from the software, an alert message should be given when reverting a pay run with a final pay included in it, so that the Annual Leave hours can be re-added to that employees pay, or the hours should not be zeroed at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea. Currently it's only possible to revert a pay run if it's the most recent and hasn't been filed. There is no notification when reverting a final pay.

AU Payroll - Right align Amount in new super page
Can we right align the column of numbers for super amounts in the new superannuation page, so that the decimal points of the dollar amounts are in a line?
(As it is, the white space between lines and between columns means I have to use a ruler to see how much was paid on what day without my eyes skipping to another line, unless I zoom out to 80% and make the window take up a third of my monitor, but that bad UI design choice is consistent across all the new stuff, whereas the left alignment of a column…

UK Payroll > Provide a warning before you delete a timesheet line
When editing or approving timesheets there is an option on the right hand side of the timesheet line to delete. This is presented as a trash icon. when you press this for a particular week, it then subsequently deletes this line if all other weeks within the payroll period with no warning. Could you implement a simple warning message for a user to click ok advising them that this action will result on deleting that particular line for all weeks of the pay period. Screenshot attached.

UK payroll: naming convention for workplace salary sacrifice pension item.
Salary sacrifice pension when set up as the default pension scheme, enrols employees with a pension deduction item "Pension provider (NPA)"
Salary sacrifice and Net pay arrangements are entirely different and should not be confused.
Xero support have repeatedly told me it is an NPA so nothing needs to change but this is incorrect.
Would it really be too difficult to have it say (SS)?
It has caused huge upset and confusion among a few of my clients who have made a full move to salary sacrifice and there is no explanation from Xero, it is just wrong.

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.
Atm, this isn’t on our roadmap, however we'll continue to keep a watch on the support this idea receives.
We appreciate your feedback and involvement in the Xero community. If the status of this idea changes, we’ll update you here.

AU Payroll - Preset Start and end date for Child support deductions
It would be useful for child support deductions to be able when we get the letter saying "this much from this date to that date and this much from that date going forward" to be able to put both those things in at the same time rather than relying on all-too-fallible humans to remember to go in and change the amounts on a particular date.

UK Payroll - Easily view which employees don't have a Timesheet in a pay period
Timesheets - In the old timesheet menu we were able to select which payroll the timesheets related to so I could ensure all timesheets have been completed and see who had not even created a timesheet yet. I have been unable to do this in the new experience. Is this something that will be brought in the filter option please.

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…

UK Payroll > Gross pay opening balance for non-taxable elements
the current opening balance figure are only taxable pay , i need gross pay. My client has salary sacrifice and the taxable pay is less than gross so on the payslip the YTD gross is wrong. its shows the YTD figure less the deduction.
1 voteHi Julia, thanks for sharing your idea about having non-taxable figures entered on the opening balances so that YTD figures reflect accurately on payslips.
From an HMRC compliance standpoint, Xero does calculate the correct tax because it captures the accurate "Taxable Pay" opening balance. However, we completely understand how the lack of a "Total Gross" field can cause confusing presentation issues on payslips after a mid-year migration.
