UK Payroll - Ignore tax calculation if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" selected
For a new starter, if "This is their first job since the start of the tax year" has been selected (A), then any tax and pay figures in the YTD fields should be ignored as they could have been entered for a P45 given for a previous tax year.
1 voteGood to hear your feedback to our last update. Monica and we can re-open your idea to get a sense of interest from the wider community, however want to be open that this isn't something we have direct plans of atm.
Just to re-iterate for others coming across this post - For new employee's, if this is their first job since the start of the tax year, you should not enter a P45 or any opening balances in their employee record. Leaving these sections blank ensures the system calculates their tax correctly based on their current circumstances.

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.
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, I understand you would like to see a "are you sure" type message before deleting a timesheet line.

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.

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 > 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.

UK Payroll - Ability to input HMRC payments in the taxes and filings screen
Within the taxes and filings screen that details tax months and the breakdown of liabilities, input cells beneath each value for PAYE, NIC, recoveries, etc, with the purpose of entering in amounts paid and reconciling the individual months. Most useful when overpayments/underpayments occur, or a business is on payment plan. The total for each month and overall total could then recalculate after each entry and the total balance owing should then reconcile back to the balance sheet. Essentially something similar to the VAT reconciliation function

Payroll - Suggestion for a visual staff leave planner to manage overlaps and cover
A Planner with a visual representation of staff approved leave (with an option to note who is covering that leave) would be super helpful. We're trying to do this with with spreadsheets and it's diabolical - but the info is all there in Xero - seeing it in a planner would be AMAZING!
It would also assist with seeing overlaps to better manage additional requests for leave before approving them.5 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

AU Payroll - Naming Convention Payroll ABA
As I am an external accountant to several client, each with several pay-calendars across numerous entities, I would much appreciate if the ABA files (much like pdf reports) could be given a naming convention that ties the ABA clearly to entity, and pay-calendar when I screen through my downloads.

AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
AU Payroll - Update so fixed amount bonus can be added and approved in timesheet
Currently employees can add into their timesheet a bonus or fixed amount pay item, but in Australia it seems Xero won't let the Payroll Approver actually approve a timesheet with a fixed amount item in it. So i have to take note if a certain employee is supposed to get a bonus this week, then delete it from the timesheet and then manually input it in the pay employees section.
There is so much room for error and employees risk missing out on wages they…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about allowing users enter fixed amounts such as bonus/commission to timesheets.

UK Payroll - Split tax across weeks when processing holiday pay in advance
I have moved a clients payroll from Sage to Xero. They have weekly wages and pay holiday in advance. In Sage it would calculate the week wages plus week holiday to allow for the tax free allowance for both weeks. In Xero the tax is higher in the week and the following week when a payrun of zero is processed then a tax refund would show to compensate. Is Xero able to replicate this process in Sage.

After reviewing your suggestion for adjusting the tax calculation for advanced holiday pay in UK Payroll, we've now made it visible so it can gain support from other community members.

AU Payroll: AutoSuper Functionality for non AU bank account formats
Currently AutoSuper is not working if one has a Wise AUD bank account.
This would be highly advantageous for those that run their business entirely through Wise and don't use an Australian local bank.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea!
I wanted to let you know that it is possible to use Wise accounts for auto super payments; however, if the Wise base account is not the AU-specific account, the format will not follow the standard requirement of: BSB 000-000, Account 00000000.

AU Payroll - Change leave type while keeping existing information entered
When you go to enter a leave request manually (not employee entered), if you select the dates first, and then realise 'oh I meant this to be sick leave, not annual leave' and change the leave type, the dates 'reset' to current date, and don't retain the information you've already entered.
This means you can accidentally enter an incorrectly dated leave request, having done all the hard work of calculating the hours and dates, then realised at the last second that the 'type' of leave is wrong - everything resets!
I don't always work top-down, I want my work to…

NZ Payroll - Auto accrual of alternative leave
Auto accrual of Alternative Leave - It would be great if there was a permanent payment item setup in Xero for public holidays worked, and when it is used Xero automatically accrued the alternative leave earned. Or at least make it more obvious that you have to manually adjust the alternative leave accrual in each pay.

AU Payroll - Report for Workers Compensation
A simple payroll report that shows the actual wages for a period for reporting for Workers Compensation as it is a legal requirement for AU businesses. Details would be split into wages paid including super, with the residency status (+country of origin for Working Holiday Makers) - with a split if an employee has changed employment basis (i.e., moved from Casual to FT) in the period.
