    Thanks for sharing with us on your needs around CIS here. I'll be sure to share if there are any updates.

    In the meantime make sure to share this idea with other colleagues this would be beneficial to so we can get a wider sense of the interest.

  2. Upon approving an employee’s submitted details via the self-onboarding feature, we observed that the transaction history reflects the approver as the one who entered the details, rather than the employee who originally submitted them.

    For audit trail purposes, it would be helpful to identify the employee as the original submitter, while maintaining a separate record of the approver’s action.

    Alternatively, a feature that allows printing or exporting the submitted self-onboarding form (as originally completed by the employee) would also address this need.

  3. Under the field "start date" have Xero automatically calculate their total length of service to the current date, and under the field "end date" once an employee is terminated, calculate their total overall service.
    This would save the user from needing to manually calculating the service for notice periods, redundancy payments and long service leave in some states.

  4. It would be good for Xero to add a Medicare Levy surcharge option for a percentage in the Taxes tab of employee set-up.
    Currently if an employee wants a percentage taken we have to manually adjust each pay run to ensure the correct amount is taken and and reporting to ATO is therefore done correctly.
    Leaving something as important as this to human error is not a good idea.

  5. It would be good to have the ability to add timesheets to the payslips sent to the staff.

    Our staff don't work set rostered hours and the times are entered by the Supervisors due to the nature of the work. When the employees want to check their pay, they haven't got anything to reference. Having the approved timesheets sent with the payslip would allow them to query their pay more accurately.

    Thank you for sharing your idea, and letting us know about the changes that matter most for you and your team.

    We understand the need for employees to easily reference their timesheet details when reviewing their pay.

    We wanted to point out that if you provide your employees with Xero Me access, they can submit and view their own approved timesheets directly within the app. This provides them with the reference needed when they receive their payslip.

  6. Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID. Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could…

  7. Feature Request: Streamlined User Re-invitation & Access Request Process for Organisations. To the Xero Product Team,

    Firstly, thank you for continuously developing a fantastic platform. We rely on Xero daily for our core business operations.

    We are writing to highlight a significant administrative challenge we face and to propose a feature that would drastically improve efficiency for organisations with a large number of employees, such as ours with 200 staff.

    1. The Problem: Inefficient Invite Management & Access Issues

    Currently, we experience a high volume of access-related issues that are incredibly time-consuming to resolve manually. We estimate receiving ~50 requests per…

  8. The report can show a list of all current employees includes basic info e.g. DOB, Gender, employment start date, job title, Annual Salary Amount, fixed allowances, Super rate etc.; This report will be helpful for internal HR reporting purpose. Otherwise, HR will need to collect info piece by piece & summarize it manually.

    The next step is up to the community. Please share this with your colleagues so they can add their vote. Every vote and detailed comment is crucial for showing us the wider impact and helping us prioritize this enhancement for Xero.

  10. We use the description field to identify when staff use different types of leave that reduce the PL balance, but require tracking - Moving Days, Wellbeing Days, Special Leave etc. Being able to include these descriptions in the Leave Request report enables us to keep track more efficiently.

  11. Hi,

    Our employees work standard hours each day, but in addition to this there are often additional items on their timesheets, such as overtime, trip and overnight stay bonuses.

    The use of timesheet templates simplifies this process by automating the inputting of their standard hours, though due to the remote nature of their work timesheets are being submitted through the mobile application which does not allow the uploading of templates.

    Can the ability to upload templates be added to the mobile app or a default template be added when creating a new timesheet?

  13. Ability to enter a PAID Break - This would be particularly helpful in Contruction industry, where most awards provide employees with a paid tea break on OT & Weekend work. This would mean employers will meet their obligations for Start/Finish Times as well as break times.

  15. Weekly Payroll calendars and get paid monthly.

    It would be advantageous if timesheets can be submitted daily and approved daily.
    Reason: approved cannot remember hours staff worked last 30 days. approver has to make a note of hours and then refer to notes when approving timesheets submitted.

  16. Add a second email address for an employee, for their payslips to be sent too - i.e. if payslips need to be sent to an employment agency each pay run, their email address can be added and payslips automatically sent here each pay run, rather than manually downloading payslips to send outside of Xero.

  17. Xero Me App - Testing

    It would be great if we could test the Xero Me app (similar to how we can with the Demo Company for Xero) to be able to see what employees see.

  18. we will have an overseas employee (from NZ) joining our australian company. In payroll I can put under Taxes the status Foreign Resident but not his address in NZ. I find this very restrictive to only be able to choose a State in Aus and no overseas addresses. Anybody an idea how to circumnavigate this without having to find some additional app to connect with Xero as was suggested by Xero Support.
