AU Payroll - Include DOB & start date in Employee Contact Details report
Ability to generate a report with start dates for all employees as well as birthday dates reports.
65 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Employee Contact Details report.
In 2024, this report was updated to include date of birth and age. We’ve noted the suggestions to include start and end dates as well.
Adding further details to this report is not on our current roadmap. As a result, we are moving this request to 'Not in Pipeline.'
We appreciate your continued ideas and feedback, and we will let you know if our priorities change.

AU Payroll - Reportable W1 for new pay items in Australia
When adding new Pay Items in Australia, Reportable as W1 should be ticked as a ticked as the default as the vast majority of Pay Items in Australia are Reportable under W1.
Every time the award changes and we import pay items from Deputy, the new items have Reportable as W1 turned off and we have to manually change them.
Changing the Xero default may or may not fix that problem but it should be the default nonetheless.

AU Payroll - Bulk delete timesheets
Bulk delete timesheets
56 votesHi team, we'd like to share an update as we work toward making managing and reviewing employee timesheets easier for you in Xero Payroll.
We’re updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.
We’d like to engage you all here for help in shaping these improvements.
We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program, where you’ll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.

Expenses - Prevent users from submitting expense claims for locked periods
Xero should not allow employees to submit Expenses for locked periods. It must have a Posting Date & Document Date to facilitate this. The document date should always be what's on the invoice/receipt

AU Payroll - Timesheets for Employees on Salary
Ability to see timesheet function for employees who are on salaries.
Purpose: To make the employees can keep track of their hours without affecting the pay runs.
70 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how important it is for your business to have monthly salaried employees complete timesheets for tracking and reporting purposes, without impacting pay run calculations.
Some of you have found workarounds like approving timesheets after processing pay runs, although this may create challenges down the line.
Our product team is currently undertaking a wider review of timesheets, and this idea will be included in that process. Therefore we're updating this idea to Accepted. We'll keep you updated if there are any developments on this.

AU Payroll - Tracking/Department Coding for reports
Payroll Department Coding - to be able to put a department code on all payroll categories and report to show employee name/gross wages/department coding assigned to payroll. The only way in Xero at the moment is through timesheets but this does not allow for all payroll categories to have a department code allocated. And when producing a timesheet report it does not show the $ gross wages for each employee only the hours. Need to include coding on allowances, leave and super.
54 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on payroll tracking. We understand some of you want to see gross wages, tax and super broken down by department and timesheet categories.
In May 2025 we released an update which allows super and leave to be allocated to employee groups, which helps track full wage expenses across departments or cost centre.
As you’re aware, our timesheet reports can be filtered by tracking categories, however the reports summarise hours rather than a total wage breakdown.
We've shared this idea with our product team. We really appreciate the feedback however further payroll tracking features are not in the near term roadmap so we'll update the status to Not in Pipeline at this time.
We’ll continue to monitor your interest and feedback as we plan future improvements to Payroll reporting.

AU Payroll - Option to select salary to include/exclude in Super
I work in the payroll team at a business where the majority of our employees are on salaries that include super. This means every July, I have to go into every person's pay template and recalculate what their new salary is (because xero works only on an excluding super basis).
My suggestion: The ability to select whether a salary is including or excluding super per employee. Then every year when the statutory super amount goes up, I won't have to recalculate everyone's new salary for xero. This also means that an employee's payslip has the same salary as what is…
35 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing how your businesses manage salary packages. We understand those using a Super inclusive salary model require manual recalculations with annual SGC increases.
Xero is designed primarily to support small businesses, the vast majority operate on an exclusive salary model. This is largely driven by the award system, where SGC is paid on top of base rate.
Our product team has let us know we don’t have plans on our foreseeable roadmap to change how these calculations are handled in Xero.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your workflows with us, as it helps us understand the diverse needs of the Australian business community. We’ll let you know if our priorities change.

Global Payroll - Dedicated Xero Payroll product for Canada
Payroll options for Canada :)
27 votesHi team, thanks for sharing your interest in a payroll product for Canada. We don't have any plans in the near term for developing specific payroll products for other regions, and I will move this idea to Not planned.
If you've been using our Global Pay Run product you may have recently received communication of changes we're making that we believe will 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.
If you need to process payroll there are app partners available through our Xero app store, we encourage you to review their…

AU Payroll - Multiple payroll bank accounts
We need to pay two different groups of employees from two different bank accounts. Having to change the payroll settings each time I do a pay run (to change the bank account) leaves far too much room for error. Can there be an option to select which bank account you want to use for each pay group PLEASE!!?

NZ Payroll - Pay PAYE to IRD through payment file
Would be great if you could pay the IRD PAYE when you pay the employees in the same payroll batch. This is already a function with Flexitime Payhero and doesn’t rely on staff making the IRD PAYE payment manually. If Xero had this function there would never be any late IRD PAYE payments as its getting paid to IRD when the employees are paid.

AU Payroll - Bulk add pay items to pay template or default to standard pay template
The ability to be able to multiple select earnings types when setting up the employee template.
Also with the ability to select Calculation Type - either Use Earnings Rate or Enter Rate.
If selecting 'Enter Rate' this can be input after the earnings lines are available - like usual.

AU Payroll - Track and approve work from home requests through Xero Me
In order to track and approve "Working from Home" requests it would be useful if Xero would enable pay item ("Working from Home") to be created that would function in the same manner as a leave category but was not leave (i.e. would not be reported to the Tax Office as a type of leave).
That way employees could apply to work from home, as they do annual leave, and approved working from home hours would automatically appear on the leave calendar.7 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

UK Payroll: Record send dates of pension eligibility letters
The Pensions Act 2008 requires all employers to enrol their eligible employees into an auto-enrolment compliant qualifying workplace pension scheme, if they are not already in one, and pay specified minimum contributions. At the moment there is no way to check if and when the letter was sent to the employer. As this is a point on our audit checklist for all our clients would it be possible to add a field showing the date when the letter was sent out to an employee or ideally add it to a pension report.
24 votesThanks for sharing your idea on having a timestamp for when eligibility letters are emailed to employees.
To help your idea gain traction, please share this with your colleagues so they can vote for it too. The comment section is also open for other members to share how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

AU Payroll - Ability to enter timesheet hours in previous payrun
Timesheet entry for hours in previous payrun. This allows employees who missed an timesheet entry to add their hours in . Quickbooks has this ability and it saves the employer from having to do a manual entry on the employees behalf.

AU Payroll - Option to split base rate and casual loading items
Please give us the option to split the base rate and casual loading items WHILE working with a timesheet. At the moment this has be manually done in every pay run if we want to show the loading separately.

NZ Payroll: Generate and send payslips before posting pay run
Ability to email payslip before the pay run is posted. This way the employee can come back to the pay clerk with any feedback on hours or allowances before the pay run is completed and filed through to myir. The reduces the need to revert the pay run before the "final" posting and payment made to employees. Reverting the pay run impacts on IRD when IRD have begun their processing as they have to do a manual amendment to pick up any changes once the pay run is re-posted. I have advised by IRD they have to make manual amendments…
5 votesHi everyone, I wanted to provide an update on this idea. As you're aware, In Xero it's not possible to email payslip to employees before posting the pay run.
As mentioned here, the workaround is to manually download the payslips and handle this outside of Xero.
We want to be up front, our product team don't have any plans to develop a feature to email the payslips from a draft pay run.
We know this isn't the answer you were looking for. Please continue to support ideas on this forum as it really does help drive the future of Xero.

AU Payroll - Recording TOIL hours worked as part of timesheet entry
It would be beneficial for an employee to record all hours worked in the timesheet including hours to be allocated as TOIL Accrual
i.e. employee works 35 hours, 30 hours ordinary and 5 hours to TOIL accrual?
Then when the employees wishes to take the TOIL, they submit a Leave Request as per existing functionality.Currently the employee needs to separately notify payroll regarding hours worked to be allocated to TOIL Accrual. And this doesn't go through the Supervisor Timesheet Approval process.

UK Payroll: Time off balance - exclude Time off requests for the next year
It'll be good to be able to submit leave requests for the next year without affecting the current year's balance.
Towards the end of the year for the holiday allowance, employees start to plan their time off for the next year.
It'll be good for the system to recognise that the leave request is for the next year and only deduct off the balance once the new year starts and the balance is reset.
38 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how submitting leave requests for the next year impacts current leave balances.
A workaround in Xero is to delay submitting or approving leave requests until the next year. We understand this may require payroll admins to track future leave outside of Xero.
We’ve shared this idea with the product team however we need to be upfront here, there are no plans to work on this in the near future, so we'll update this to Not in Pipeline.
We’ll keep you posted if our priorities change. Thanks for continuing to share your feedback as this helps shape Xero.
