  1. Fix estimated leave balance calculation when future approved leave is already included in the current balance

    The estimated leave balance in Xero Me appears to account for future approved leave twice, which can make the projected balance significantly more negative than expected.

    For example, my current Annual Leave balance is:
    Current balance: -78.34 hours
    This already includes -98.80 hours of approved future leave

    If I select 1 November 2026 as the future balance date, Xero Me shows:
    Estimated accrual: +5.85 hours
    Approved leave: -98.80 hours
    Estimated balance: -171.29 hours
    The displayed result corresponds exactly to:
    -78.34 + 5.85 - 98.80 = -171.29 hours

    However, the current balance of -78.34 hours already includes the -98.80 hours of…

  2. AU Payroll - timesheet summary Report - Totals

    It would be great if a total field can be added to the report. It is quite cumbersome to export multiple reports out to excel to just total the hours and then requiring deleting the download.
    I currently do this monthly for all active tracking categories. The attached example shows the Grouping and the tracking category.

  3. Employee self-onboarding:

    Employee self-onboarding: need to be able to attach Fair Work Information Statement and Casual Employment Information Statement. This would a) save sending a separate email b) ensures this compliance step isn't missed. This is available in the third party on-boarding app 'Xonboard', as is the ability to sign employment contracts and upload Welcome videos.

  4. Folders in Employees note section

    It is great that we can now add files in the Employee note section. However, it was be so much more beneficial if we could add folders so the file section is tidy and the files would be easier to find based on filing preferences. A list of documents is just messy.

    This was stated in the first email when advising that files could be uploaded. But it didn't happen with the new release.
