AU Payroll - Add leave into pay run without creating leave request
Why cant small operators bypass the LEAVE function and approval process. If one of my workers has a sick day it would be far easier to simply adjust the payslip to 7.6 hours under the sick category and it then automatically deducts it from the leave balance. Same for holidays etc. Its quite time consuming for small operators.

AU Payroll - timesheet audit trail
Can we have an audit trail on Timesheets, please? If there is a dispute around timesheet entries, changes, submissions, retractions, re-submissions, approvals etc. it would be invaluable to have an audit trail for the employee. the approver and business owner to refer to. I was surprised this didn't exist as both Xero AI and ChatGPT explained how to find it! Sadly Xero Support confirmed this audit trail does not exist.
69 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback and adding your support to this idea.
Having a clear history trail for edits and approvals in timesheets is valuable for managing payroll accuracy. This is something our product team is aware of, and while it isn’t on our current roadmap, it is something we want to look at in the future.
We appreciate you keeping this top of mind for us. We'll continue to track community votes and comments on this thread and will update you here as soon as anything changes.

UK Payroll: Timesheets to include start and finish times
It would be super helpful if an employee could enter start and finish times, plus any unpaid breaks, into their timesheet and Xero would calculate the number of hours worked. That way it would be easier for the employer to check what they are approving.

NZ Payroll - Automatically email payslips
Schedule payslip to be sent on pay day so we don't have to manually do this on pay day... currently I process payroll on a Saturday or Sunday, set up the payements for Tuesday and then have to login on Tuesday to send the payslips as I don't want to send them over the weekend when I process pay (while the employees are relaxing)

AU Payroll - Option for Auto Super approval code sent to email instead of phone
AU Payroll - Email auto super code to email address instead of mobile number for overseas travelers who don't always have access to mobile phone
102 votesHi everyone, we just wanted to provide a quick update on this one as the upcoming payday super changes will be top of everyone's minds.
The current approval step is important for both cash flow management and security and the community has also suggested a few different ideas on how to approach this:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify - currently gaining support
If either of these ideas reflects what’d work best for you, please add your vote, to help us get a clearer understanding what matters most to our community.
When we’re through the thick of EOY and initial payday super is rolled out, our product team will circle back around to these ideas to review.

Expenses - Introduce Bulk Actions for Submission and Approval
Bulk Actions for Expenses: Restore Submit/Approve Many. With the retirement of Classic Expenses, a major efficiency feature has been lost: the ability to process expense claims in bulk.
The Problem: Currently, each individual expense claim must be opened, reviewed, and actioned one-by-one. For anyone who needs to approve 20 claims at the end of the week, this is an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process. What was once a 30-second task now takes many times longer.
The Solution: Reintroduce checkboxes and a bulk action menu to the expense claims overview screen. This would allow users to:
Select multiple claims.
Perform bulk…47 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Payroll AU: Mandatory Emergency contacts in Self-Onboarding
Mandatory Emergency contact
Have Emergency contact as mandatory in the self onboard for employees.
We still need emergency contacts on file but I have found that if it is not mandatory the new employee doesn't fill it in.9 votesThank you for taking the time to share this idea!
At this stage, we don't have plans to make Emergency Contacts a required field during Self-Onboarding. However, we're continuously looking to learn more about how our customers use Self-Onboarding.
If this is a feature you'd like to see, please cast your vote and share this page with colleagues who might find it helpful! Additional comments detailing how Self-Onboarding can improve your daily admin are always appreciated.

AU Payroll - SGC statement report
Require an SGC statement report ( a combination of Employee remuneration + payroll activity summary report) that includes all details required about the employee and super accrued on OTE + Overtime hours worked. This would enable efficient reporting to the ATO when super payments are late.

AU Payroll - Medicare levy surcharge
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.16 votesThanks for sharing your idea about adding the Medicare levy to AU payroll tax calculations.

Xero Expenses - Ability to bulk import Expenses
Problem
The migration to the new Xero Expenses module has created a significant regression in workflow efficiency. Specifically:No bulk entry path exists. Organizations processing high volumes of expenses must manually create each item one-by-one through the new expense form — which is itself slower and more cumbersome than the legacy interface it replaced.
The API is a dead end. Both the Receipts and ExpenseClaims endpoints are marked DEPRECATED, yet no replacement public API has been introduced for the Xero Expenses module. Receipts submitted via the deprecated API don't surface anywhere in the current Expenses UI. This means integrators and…
16 votesThanks for re-raising the idea with us here, Ben. We'll see if this idea gains support from more community users and please do share if there are others that you feel would benefit from this too sop they can add their support.
In terms of the API we have a separate idea forum where these ideas can be raised and experts that are better suited to handle and review these sort of requests.
I've found an idea for an API for the Xero expense feature that you may like to support for this.

NZ Payroll - Alert/limit for submitting negative leave balances in Xero Me
Create an alert and ability to set a limit that is shown when an employee is trying to submit a leave request that will put them in a negative balance.
This will help with managing leave.6 votesHi everyone, this idea has been created to track NZ user interest in this feature.
It has been split from the original request here, as our Payroll features are generally developed separately for each region.
Being upfront we don't have any plans for this at present, however it is something we would like to understand the wider interest from our community in.
For now we will keep an eye on the support for this feature in NZ Payroll, and will share if there are any updates.

AU Payroll - Filter Super payables by employee group
Add Super payment sort function
Could you add a feature that allows sorting by location? Since our employees are spread across multiple locations, this would help us group and process payments more efficiently by location.9 votesHi Cilla, thanks for sharing this idea.

AU Payroll - Calculate the length of service
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.26 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on automatic length of service calculations in AU Payroll.

AU Payroll - Allow Withholder Payer Numbers (WPN) for Automatic Superannuation
Clients who are not eligible for an ABN but have a PAYG withholding obligation (e.g. people who employ domestic help) have to register the ATO for a Withholder Payer Number (WPN) so they can deduct and remit PAYG. The SBSCH has enabled super stream for holders of WPNs but that is closing 1 July 2026. Xero STP/Auto Super currently requires an ABN for registration - please make use of a WPN possible.

AU Payroll - Calculate and display total hours worked on pay slips
Payslips need to have an option to show total hours paid to employees. Currently it isn't clear at a glance to employees or for auditing that paid hours total worked hours. Having this automatically calculate based on the approved timesheet and tallied at the bottom (alongside the this pay $ perhaps) would be ideal.

AU Payroll - Create an account transaction when you process super payment.
When you approve an auto super payment it would be helpful if an account transaction is created in the bank account with the description detailing the underlying payruns the super payment amounts relate to (ie pay dates, employee total). This would then be matched to the withdrawal on from the bankfeed.
When trying to reconcile what super has been paid and when this information would be very helpful in identifying late super from within the GL or account transaction report.
