UK Payroll - Leave Summary Report
UK Payroll - need a summary report showing leave taken / remaining by employee for a given leave year - This is already available in AU payroll
77 votesHi team, as an update to my last post, we have now rolled out the Leave Requests report in UK Payroll. This report lists the details for leave requested, approved and taken, for all employees or can be run for a singular employee, and will help when planning rosters or work schedules. Payroll Admins will be able to find and access it through the Reports Centre found in the Accounting menu. We're aware that the Leave Requests report does not meet all of the requirements as outlined in the comments of this idea, and we have created a new idea for a Leave Transactions Report. We will track interest of this idea and keep an eye on this separately, so please do join and support if this is of interest to you.

NZ Payroll - Import past earnings
When setting up new employees from another system, it would be great, if we could import the past earnings information.
10 votesHi team, happy to return and share that this feature has now been released!
Now when employees have an earnings history in another payroll software system, you can choose to bulk enter previous earnings by importing a file, with the ability to download a template to enter data.
Thanks again for letting us know the value in this for you here. 😊

AU Payroll - Public Holiday for Friday before the AFL Grand Final
Payroll - Victorian Public Holidays -
Please add:
Friday before the AFL Grand Final Friday 27 SeptemberI tried but was not able to manually add this as an extra Public Holiday
4 votesThanks for sharing in the idea here, Faye! While we don't have plans to change the current set up - as suggested when you choose to "Add Holiday" rather than selecting one of the drop down options, you can just type in the Holiday that you want to add.

NZ Payroll - Sick leave schedule of accrual
Schedule of Accrual - Sick Leave : would love the option: Annually after 3 Months
7 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on improving the schedule of accrual for sick leave.
We've now rolled out a change to all NZ Payroll organisations. We’ve added a custom leave accrual option to the leave schedule of accrual. Once an organisation has converted their sick leave entitlements to Days, you can adjust the sick leave entitlement schedule as needed.
By default, you can choose to accrue from start date or annually after 6 months, but there is now a custom option that allows you to set other schedules, for example, after 3 months.
Thanks again for helping us improve Xero Payroll.

AU Payroll Employee Summary Report - Heading Layout
Please fix the layout of the headings in the new reports - Reimbursements shows over two lines when you print the report to pdf, which looks absolutely ridiculous!
3 votesAppreciate the feedback, Emily. Can see what you mean with the report heading and I shared this back with the team. Today we've just released a change to the Payroll Employee Summary report so 'Reimbursement' has now been shortened to 'Reimb' 😊 so this will all fit in the one line now.

NZ Payroll - Option to change employee anniversary date when on unpaid leave for more than 1 week
Where an employee takes unpaid leave for more than one week, it would be helpful if you could enter in the date in which the unpaid leave applies from so that the anniversary date can automatically be reset. The current set up is rather antiquated, and needs to be automated to ensure accuracy and ease of use.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on the option to change and employee's leave accrual anniversary date.
We’ve rolled out changes to all NZ Payroll organisations that allow key leave types to be recorded in days and weeks.
Once an organisation has converted leave to weeks, you can go to the employee’s record, open the Leave tab, and select Edit next to Annual leave. From there, you can adjust the annual leave anniversary date as needed.
We really appreciate everyone who supported this idea and hope this gives you more control and accuracy when managing leave anniversaries in Xero.

AU Payroll - New Employee - Online Commencement Forms
Ability to send and generate online commencement forms from Xero Payroll.

322 votesHeya community 👋 you can now make use of self onboarding of new employees and contractors!

Xero Me - Allow employees to self-service change of address
Xero Me - change of address - employee can lodge a notification through Xero Me to payroll for your change of address. The change could be approved by the payroll administrator and it immediately updates Xero, then an email would be sent to the employee to say the change of address has occurred. This would reduce administration time, spelling errors in address and encourage employees to keep their details up to date.
60 votesHi everyone, back to announce that employee profile updates have now been rolled out across NZ, UK and AU 😊
With the updates employees can now view more fields within their employee profile, and update details that don't require admin approval, including;
- Contact number & email address
- Residential address (excluding State/Country)
- Emergency contact information
We really appreciate your voice through this idea and helping us focus on changes that can make a difference to our community. Thanks!

UK Payroll - Generate a report with employees names and NINO
UK HMRC often carry out routine checks on compliance with PAYE and National Minimum Wage. In one NMW check we have been asked to provide them with a list of the names and NINOs of all staff employed by us between two specified dates. To make it easy they dont use tax years but calendar dates
We need a standard payroll report that allows us to export a list with the employees name and NINO. The only way to create this at the moment is by a manual trawl
3 votesThanks for your interest and feedback on this idea, everyone
Currently you can generate a Pension Contribution Report which includes the employees name and NINO 🙂 When creating the report - under Columns select the fields you'd like to include in the report as well as the date range. Once created, you can export it in PDF, Excel or Google Sheets.

UK Payroll - Show leave balances in days and hours
Offering a simple update to the Xero system which would dramatically improve one grey area:
I had a discussion with my team and it's a common topic that keeps coming up - we find it very awkward having the 'Time Off' allowance displayed in 'Hours'.
Just like some other tracking systems, they allow you to see your 'Time Off' as 'Days' which is much easier to glance at - instead of having to continuously calculate hours, which takes time and can cause confusion on some occasions.
We would all very much appreciate it if you at least give the option…
259 votesHi team, we're happy to share that we've recently released a couple of updates to solve for the needs here!
- Payroll admins can now view employee leaves balance in weeks, days and hours where the employee has a consistent working pattern set up.
- On the employee front, you'll be able to view leave balances in hours and (days) within the Xero Me app.
We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone for contributing here and being engaged with our product team to deliver functionality that's most impactful for our customers.
We have more enhancements coming to the Xero Me app soon, stay in the know through the Long and Short of it, and releases on Xero Central.

Payroll Activity Details (AU) - Date column to be added back
There has always been a date column - add it back - why mess with something that has been used for so many years. Absolutely so desruptive to our professional services.
1 voteHiya Simona, sorry for not updating you on this sooner.
Shortly after the release of the new report our team made a change based on feedback, so the report now shows Employee name and Date as separate columns, and the columns will be included when running the report by default.

60 votesHi everyone, thanks for your patience. We have now rolled out an enhanced Employee Contact Details report.

We hope this report helps you with managing your workflows.
Thanks again for supporting this idea and being the voice of change.

AU Payroll - Edit export of STP Finalisation
Would be great if we could have a tidier and shorter one (selecting what you want) rather then the CSV file
8 votesHiya all, thanks for your interest in this idea. An update our team have made in Xero Payroll makes reconciling payroll much simpler. You can now see key payroll totals in the Finalisation screen, and you'll also find you have access to an organisation finalisation report that includes totals, which can be exported to PDF format. 😊

UK Payroll - Auto updates for national Insurance category (NI)
It would be great if Xero could implement an automatic change/suggestion to change to category A after an H-category employee doesn't meet the criteria anymore.
One of our employees just had his birthday and I noticed the category doesn't automatically update and there's no flag to say they might now be ineligible for a certain code.
I imagine there are more companies with the same problem where it's gone unnoticed that the National Insurance Category hasn't automatically updated as nearly everything else does and it's easy to miss a birthday!164 votesHi community, we've rolled out a change to Xero Payroll (UK), and now Xero will automatically apply the new NI category to a pay run based on an employees birthdate, and if they are entering into a new NI category. Meaning you no longer have to manually track and updates these.
We appreciate all your contributions and letting us know how valuable this feature is for you. 😊

Xero expenses - Ability to change sort order
Allow a simple 'sort' function to re-order the view of expenses that have been 'done'.
This should allow order by 'date of spend', by amount; category; etc
34 votesHey everyone, quick turn around for the weekend! Our new Expenses list is now live to all users.
As mentioned in my last update there are new options for sort from the All expenses section - Get a looksie from my image below 😊

Xero Me App Receipt Analysis - Make available for Expense Submitter users
Make the Xero Me App receipt analysis feature (to autofill expense data) available to expense submitter users.
I was pretty surprised to lean today it is currently only available for admin users, despite it being a feature to benefit the expense submission process.
1 voteHi Paul, I think there's been a little bit of confusion here. Only an Expenses user with Admin can enable this feature, however once enabled any user in the organisation that has access to Expenses will be able to make use of the receipt analysis feature. 🙂

UK Payroll: Report on employee age
With ever changing minimum wage requirements (UK only) which are based on an employees age it would be useful to be able to have a 'one pager' report that lists the employee name and the current age. Their age is data which is already in Xero as part of the employee profile. A report would be useful to help payroll staff check who needs to move onto new wages / salaries based on age groups.
23 votesThanks for sharing your desire for a report which includes the employees' age.
I wanted to let you know that we've recently released an updated Employee Contact Details report which includes multiple new columns including DOB and age.
Thanks for your continued feedback, this helps shape the future of Xero.

Don't merge cells in the Excel export of AU payroll reports

NZ Payroll - Record Annual shutdown leave in Xero
Ability to record an annual shutdown leave.
Purpose: Ability for a Payroll admin to easily record annual shutdown leave when needing to make a calculation around separating employee’s anniversary dates and start dates.
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having a seamless way to record shutdown leave in Xero.
We recently released an update to all NZ Payroll organisations which now makes it easier to manage shutdown leave in Xero.
Once an organisation has migrated to having leave balances in weeks and days, the leave anniversary for an employee is decoupled from their start date.
For step-by-step guidance please see our support article.
We really appreciate everyone who supported and commented on this idea and hope these changes make it easier to manage shutdown leave.

UK Payroll - Ability for Payroll Admin to delete approved holidays
Ability for Payroll Admin to delete holidays. When an employee books the wrong day or is off sick during a period of pre-booked holiday and wants his/her holidays cancelled, the payroll admin should be able to delete the holiday but cannot.
2 votesHi team, rounding back on the idea here I want to confirm that currently Payroll admins can reject approved leave requests which will delete it.
If the leave request has been included in a draft or posted payrun, the payroll admin will need to revert to draft and delete the payrun before the leave request can be rejected.
