  1. AU Payroll - Restrict which earnings rate an employee can select in timesheets

    Ability to restrict which pay items an employee can view in Xero Me to only those that apply to that employee. Without this ability employees sometimes choose pay items that do not apply to them. Most often this is picked up at the authorisation stage but why allow the possibility for error in the first place.

    Hey all! I'm pleased to announce that we’ve officially rolled out an update to improve the accuracy of your employees' timesheets.

    Employees are now restricted to selecting only the pay items that have been added to their Pay Template. This change ensures that timesheet entries remain consistent with their payroll setup.

    Please take this opportunity to audit your employees' Pay Templates. If a specific earnings rate or pay item is missing from a template, the employee will be unable to select it when submitting their timesheets.

    Thank you for your ongoing support and for providing the feedback that makes these improvements possible!

    Heya community 👋 you can now make use of self onboarding of new employees and contractors!

    When setting up a new employee you can send a request to them to fill in their details and complete the onboarding process via a secure online form. As part of this, they'll create a Xero user account which can be used to access Xero Me.

    Check out our Xero Central article for more about the process and what information is collected. We appreciate all your interest and support in this idea, here.

  3. Xero Me: Hide personal leave balance when requesting leave

    In Xero we have the ability not to show the personal leave balance on payslips. But this is made redundant where the employee can apply for leave on the Xero Me app and see their personal leave balance there instead.

    For consistency, there should be an option to not show the available personal leave balances when employees are applying for leave - either on the Xero Me app or if on the web browser.

  4. Xero Me - Show employees total hours of upcoming leave

    On the employees interface it would be helpful to have the number of hours booked showing against the holiday. Currently it only has the dates that have been booked. The hours are shown on the employer interface

    Crossing back over your idea here, Katie it looks like this is actually possible - When an employee taps on the leave request in their Xero Me app, it'll bring up all the details of their leave including the total hours. 😊

    If they're unable to see this, we'd suggest asking them to raise a case with our team of specialists through Xero central who can get a closer inspection to help.
