AU Payroll - Submit Leave Request via SMS
Provide the functionality to receive leave requests by SMS notification.
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea with the community here, Rachel. I see it hasn't really picked up interest and with the ability for employees ti submit leave requests via the Xero Me app that is accessible from a mobile device we don't have any plans for developing SMS capability.

UK Payroll - Automatically update tax code
If I run the payroll on say the 22.07 and then a P6 arrives effective from say 25.07 it wouldn't be updated automatically. Surely it should be updated regardless of whether the date relates to a previous period or not? This frequently happens. I can't think of an example of when you wouldn't want the tax code to update automatically?

AU Payroll - Include date range in exported version of Payment Summary Details report
When running the Payment Summary Details report for a previous financial year, the report does not show the dates of the financial year the data belongs to. The report is titled Payment Summary Details as at Today's Date. For example: it should show Payment Summary Details reporting period 1st July 2017 - 30th June 2018. For audit purposes, there is no way of determining the date range the reported data relates to.

AU Payroll - Monthly calculation based on hours worked in month
Update the monthly payroll to calculate based on the number of work hours in the month, rather than taking the yearly salary / 12 / number work hours. Given that each month has a different number of work days, the pay rate changes every month and this is a compliance issue.

UK Payroll - More options for Gender
Add other gender options for personal settings, non-binary & intersex
26 votesThanks for confirming, Andy - Really appreciate the screenshot. 🙂
I've checked in with our Payroll team where this detail is saved.
We appreciate wanting more options for gender when entering personal details, and in some regions such as AU & NZ this is optional.
Currently, in order to ensure successful payroll filings with HMRC in the UK, we need to match the schema they provide. That said, our team are reassessing how this fits in Xero so I'll shift this Idea to 'under review' and can share any updates that come. -
AU Payroll - Ability to send Leave taken to a balance sheet
As per this post 3 years ago I have the same challenge.
https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00004DBrgFSAT/annual-leave-ledger-code-setup-in-payroll
Can Australia be configured the same as NZ by having ability to send Leave taken to a balance sheet leave liability account?

Xero Expenses - Easily add expense to employees next payslip
Once expenses are approved it would be fantastic to have an option to "send" this to their next approved payslip rather than having to manually add this to the payslip.
Seems madness this isn't implemented already - what is the point in doing everything in Xero if you need to faff around making adjustments for details that are already in the system.
Employee's submit expenses - so you know who needs reimbursed already.

UK Payroll - Ability to have Payroll week number on payslip
The ability to have the payroll week number showing on the payslip if it is a weekly payroll, rather than just the tax month it falls into.
16 votesThanks for this suggestion.
This is a clear idea that would help employees on weekly pay schedules better understand which specific tax week their pay relates to, rather than just seeing the tax month or the date range.
We have marked this idea as Gaining Support so other users can vote and show the Community team how important this addition to the payslip is.
In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, you could manually add the week number to the Payslip Message field on the draft pay run (e.g., "Week 12") before posting it. This message will appear at the bottom of the employee's payslip.

Global Payroll: YTD Earnings and deductions on Payslips
An Employee's payslip gives the current pay period earnings, deductions and net take home pay. It's missing YTD earnings and deductions information on a payslip. Please consider including the same in your future updates. Thanks, We are a Canadian based business.
3 votesHi community, we’re making some changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
We appreciate your input on how we can improve Xero for you, however with this change coming we don't have any plans to further develop Global Pay Run, and will move any ideas related to this on the site to Not planned.
If you're from a region where we offer dedicated payroll products (AU, NZ and UK) specifically designed for your regions unique requirements, you may want to explore transitioning to Xero…

UK Payroll - Be able to download payslips by employee group instead of one big batch of all employees
When you're in the pay run screen, you can only download ALL payslips as one PDF file. We need to be able to download payslips by employee group so they can be sent to the individual managers of the employee groups for review/approval.

Global Pay Run - Hide Voided Pay Run from Main Pay run page
Hiding Voided Pay Run from showing on the Main Pay Run Page.
It will be great to have a functionality that allows you hide payruns that have been voided from showing on the main payrun list.
When approved payruns cannot be edited, the only option is to void and create a new one. If a functionality can allow editing approved pay run, then there will be no need. But now, we need to have a function to hide the voided payruns.
A screenshot has been attached for clearer understanding for voting and implementation.

UK Payroll - Payslip - editable Email Template
We need to change the subject line for our payslip email template to include the word Confidential so that we meet our ISO standard
14 votesIt's been a little while since this idea was raised & we wanted to touch base with an update. We can see that this idea has been steadily gaining support, so have updated the status.

Xero Expenses - Ability to change 'How did you pay' through Xero Me app
Xero Expenses - be able to change an expense claim submitted by an employee through the Expense App as Personal money (reimbursable) to Company Money (non-reimbursable). Currently within Xero Expenses, you can change the 'How did you 'pay' on an employee's submitted expense only if it was processed as Company Money (non reimbursable). It would be good if we could also do it the other way round in that if an employee submits an expense on the app as Personal, it could be changed to Company.

AU Payroll - Support for more than 4 employees on Payroll Only plan
I have a client moving to a different platform for accounting but still needed a stand alone payroll platform for 23 employees and Xero does not offer this so we would be paying for all the other functionality that we won't be using to stay on Xero for payroll
4 votesHi everyone, though we appreciate the feedback we've received from you on plans here - as you'll have had communication of, with the launch of our new plans we made the decision to no longer offer a Payroll Only plan.

Payroll: 'Save and close' option in draft pay runs
At the moment, inside an individual's payslip/pay run, the button options are 'save', 'save and next' and 'close'.
A button for 'save and close' would be ideal when only one or a few employees (not the whole batch) need to be manually viewed and edited. Instead, we need to click 'save', wait for the page to load again, scroll down and click 'close' to return to the pay run employee list.
7 votesThank you for your contribution and support on the idea. We understand that the ability to easily save and close in one click would benefit your workflows, however to be upfront we don't have direct plans for making this change within the payslip in the foreseeable future.
We appreciate this is not the news you’d hope to hear, but we'd like to be open and transparent with you on this, here.
