Payroll - Automatically pull across overtime to TOIL allowance in Leave.
If an employee does overtime which is TOIL, Xero should automatically pull this across into the leave allowances for the employee so that it can be taken. Currently you have to manually post everything which is time consuming.

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.3 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on automatic length of service calculations in AU Payroll.

AU - Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee
Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee, not just as a total for all employees. Currently you have to select each employee to generate the totals for 1 employee and if you have 100 employees, that's 100 reports instead of just 1.
Exactly like MYOB does it, sample MYOB report attached.10 votesThanks for submitting your idea, Tom.

Payroll - Suggestion to separate "Pay Wages" and "Pay Super" buttons in the payment flow
Recently XERO changed the Make Payment Button so that it now contains two payment steps ABA Download, and payment of superanuation. This is great but I am finding that because both processes take you away from the wages screen,(one is to the bank and the other to the SUPER approval process) the work does not flow easily. Is it possible instead to separate the two buttons so we would have PAY WAGES as one button and PAY SUPER as separate buttons?
3 votesHi there and thanks for your feedback.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can gather input from other users, and updated the title to reflect the request for separate buttons.
We appreciate you sharing how this change is affecting your workflow.

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group
Could you look into allowing employee groups to allow the set up different employee group with distinct expense accounts for direct cost based employees versus administrative staff (for example). this provides a better way to categorize and track labor costs as either direct costs or expenses (variable versus fixed)

Employee Files - Be able to add documents to a leave transaction (i.e. Medical Certificates for sick leave)
Employee Files - Be able to add documents to a leave transaction (i.e Medical Certificates or Leave Request Forms)
This would be great to have in each employee leave request as well as a dedicated documents file for each employee for keeping track of records for things like; Resignation Letters, Medical certificates, Leave Requests for anything related to specific employees for a 'all in one place' archive of employee data.

UK Payroll - Split tax across weeks when processing holiday pay in advance
I have moved a clients payroll from Sage to Xero. They have weekly wages and pay holiday in advance. In Sage it would calculate the week wages plus week holiday to allow for the tax free allowance for both weeks. In Xero the tax is higher in the week and the following week when a payrun of zero is processed then a tax refund would show to compensate. Is Xero able to replicate this process in Sage.
4 votesHey Lorraine! 👋 Thanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback with everyone. After reviewing your suggestion for adjusting the tax calculation for advanced holiday pay in UK Payroll, we've now made it visible so it can gain support from other community members.

Expense Comments
Expense Claims - Approval Explorer - Next Button.
When approving expenses, if you want to open them up one by one, there is no each button to hit next, or approve, next. This is a nightmare for time wasting. If this can be added like Zoho expenses does for example. Just to speed up and give more power to run through all expenses when viewing them. Also please add multiple document upload to one expense. Sometimes you have two files needed per expense.

AU Payroll - Naming Convention Payroll ABA
As I am an external accountant to several client, each with several pay-calendars across numerous entities, I would much appreciate if the ABA files (much like pdf reports) could be given a naming convention that ties the ABA clearly to entity, and pay-calendar when I screen through my downloads.

Expense Claims - Populate contact for reimbursable expense claims
Re-introduce Vendor Auto-fill in New Expenses to Save Time & Prevent Data Duplication. The new Expenses experience is missing the vendor auto-fill/suggestion feature that existed in Classic Expenses. This is a critical time-saving tool that also prevents the creation of duplicate vendor records due to minor spelling variations or typos. Re-adding this feature would greatly improve efficiency and data hygiene.

Stop hiding draft expenses
Currently if you add a receipt through Xero Me this is no longer obviously visible as it used to be on the old home screen. This makes it extremely easy to miss that there is anything pending.
Even if you click on Expenses to review, this does not bring up any draft receipts. It's as though this has been designed to make it really easy to overlook these!

AU payroll - notification when leave request date has been entered twice
Encountered an issue where employees annual leave has been entered twice and it doesn’t flag in the system. Unsure if a Xero glitch or a human glitch, but regardless, it shouldn’t be able to process 2 Annual Leave runs for the same dates/ Pay periods.

Repeating Bills Are Invisible for Cash‑Flow Planning
Xero treats repeating bills as templates, not real future obligations. As a result, they don’t appear in Bills to Pay, aged payables, or short‑term cash‑flow views until the bill is actually created. This hides genuine recurring expenses and breaks basic planning questions like: “What are my projected expenses and will my cash cover them?”
The only safe workaround today is to ignore repeating bills and always keep the next instance entered as a normal bill, so it shows in reports and cash‑flow. That defeats the purpose of automation.
Please allow repeating bills to surface as projected obligations in cash‑flow tools…

Enter Payments on one excel spreadsheet style, rather than entering various addition payments into each employee
I would like to move our payroll over to Xero, having tried in Apr 2023, I was hoping that changes would have been made in order for me to move our system over. After over 2 hours on the phone today, we eventually got there, but to my horror was told that I would have to log into each employee on the pay run and enter all regular and extra payments. Could you not have a multi person payment entry spreadsheet. Example attached. Once this is completed and saved, it then allows me to see each individuals pay totals in…

Expense Claim without staff using XeroMe
Would be great to be able to create an expense claim for all the staff members listed in Payroll without them having XeroMe access.
Our staff don't use XeroMe at all, but submit expense claims on the odd occasion. The Expense option is a great idea but very limiting to the staff members that we can use it for.2 votesHi Vanessa. Thank you for this suggestion.
We understand that for staff who rarely claim expenses, setting them up as a Xero user just to process a single reimbursement can be administratively heavy.
As you have found, the current Expenses module requires the "Claimant" to be an invited Xero user. Because your request is to allow claims for "non-users", we are classifying this as a new idea to Gain Support.
A note on Xero Me access: If the main barrier is that your staff prefer not to use the mobile app, it is worth noting that they can also submit their claims via the web version of Xero Me (logging in via a desktop) instead of using the app.
A workaround for non-users: For staff who do not have a Xero login, you can process their Expense Claim on their behalf. If you need an extra hand you can raise…
