UK Payroll - import pay run/timesheet information from Excel
Import complete payroll information including earnings, deductions, and overtime etc from an Excel/CSV file
58 votesHi everyone, we've been following your comments and recognise that having a streamlined way to get timesheets from a spreadsheet into Xero Payroll would be a huge time saver.
One option is to explore some of the connected time-tracking apps in the Xero App Store. While we know this isn't a perfect substitute for a direct import feature, it may help bridge the gap in the meantime.
The good news is that we see the value this feature would provide and we want to explore it further. We'll change the status of this idea to Accepted and will let you know if there is any movement on this.

Xero Me - Allow email selection for notification email for approvers
It would be useful if XeroMe had an option for approvers to choose where their notification emails go (i.e. approvals for leave, timesheets and expense claims). Our workplace has recently set up XeroMe but our approvers are having difficulty because they have to remember to regularly check their personal email for notifications. Their choice at present is to link everything to their personal email and regularly check their personal email or link everything to their work email and have their personal payroll information sent to their work email.
Additionally, if 2 approvers are selected, it would be useful if XeroMe…
6 votesThanks for sharing the details behind your idea. We understand the request to allow approvers to use a separate email address for Xero Me notifications. Having the flexibility to send approval notifications to a different email could help support a wider range of workflows while keeping personal and work communications separate.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd like to use it.
As this idea also includes a couple of additional suggestions, you will need to create separate ideas for those so the community can vote on each one individually and we can track them independently.

UK Payroll: Add Download P45 link in the Employee list
Add the P45 link in the Employee row, like P60.
If you have selected one or more employees to download the P45 you then have to scroll back up to the top of the page to find P45 Download button.
I had to use the Help resource to find it, rather than it be obvious.

UK payroll - Order pay run by employee number
My employee's have existing payroll numbers so it would be easier to run a payroll in number order. Can this option be looked into please?
9 votesThanks for sharing your idea, currently you can't reorder the employees in the pay run or when you download the payslips in bulk. I understand how that flexibility might be a benefit.

AU Payroll - Opt out of STP/overdue warning on contractor super
With contractor super processing in payroll, getting rid of the red overdue STP filing would be pleasing - a "no STP on the contractor super " button, please

Payroll NZ | Timesheet - show submitted leave days when creating timesheets.
When approving timesheets it would be ideal to have separate lines underneath Ordinary Hours with Leave requested, on which days and hour amounts and to be able to approve there instead of having to go to a different screen.

AU Payroll - Option to hide terminated employees from drop down lists in Reports
Having the ability to view only current employee names in drop down lists in Reporting, unless archived employee names are also needed, would be great. Perhaps a tick a box to include archived names in the list?

Payroll AU: Licences/Qualifications tab in employee’s profile
A useful addition to Xero Payroll would be a dedicated Licences & Qualifications tab within each employee’s profile.
When adding or managing an employee, the employer could record items such as:
Driver Licence
High Risk Work Licence
Forklift Licence
Working at Heights
Confined Space
White Card
First Aid Certificate
Trade licences or other industry-specific qualificationsFor each licence or qualification, Xero should allow the employer to enter the licence type, licence/registration number, issuing authority, issue date, expiry date, and ideally upload a copy of the licence or certificate.
The most important feature would be automatic expiry reminders. For example, Xero…
3 votesHi there, thanks for submitting this idea!
What you’re after is partly achievable in Xero Payroll today. You can add these qualifications and details directly into the employee’s Notes section. We're also currently working on allowing files to be uploaded into employee records, which will help you keep a complete record of this information.
While there are currently no plans to add a specific Qualification status or expiry reminder feature, we appreciate you sharing your workflow.

Expenses | Files - Support upload of HEIC format image files for receipts
Please can Heic file formats be accepted for images of receipts? There an issue with these going from CMAP and into Xero. I will raise this with CMAP as well.
4 votesAppreciate you bringing this to the community.
We understand the request for Xero to accept HEIC receipt images. Native support could make it easier to upload receipts without first converting them to another file format, and can support specific integrations.
We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would help your workflow, do add your vote.

Payroll NZ: Process and pay deductions via payroll payment file.
It would be really helpful if Xero Payroll allowed a bank account to be linked to a specific employee deduction.
This would mean that when the deduction is processed through payroll, the amount could be included in the payment file and paid at the same time as the employee’s wages. Currently, these deductions need to be paid manually, which creates an unnecessary extra step and makes the process quite clunky.
Other payroll systems I’ve used, including PaySauce and iPayroll, already have this functionality.
It would also be useful where a deduction relates to a specific debt or loan for the…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea. Currently, the payment file generated by Xero is only for employees' wages, however I can understand how this might help manage statutory payments such as fines and child support.

AU Payroll - Employee personal information - have editable field for information like Allergies, etc
More and more clients are collecting information on what allergies employees might have, it would be nice to have a field to keep this information on in Xero. It's is becoming a health and safety issue
7 votesHi Jenni, thanks for letting us know you'd like to add additional information about employees in Xero. We can see how this would be useful for you!
You might like to take a look at a similar idea - Payroll | Employees - Upload/attach files in notes section which is currently in development.

Payroll AU: Timesheets: Toggle pay items which can be seen in timesheets.
There is a recent feature where all pay items in employees pay templates can now be seen in employee timesheets, however employees can only enter data in the format HH:MM (max 23:59) when doing timesheets via mobile app. Many pay items don't use HH:MM format (e.g. allowances for car, meals). I would like to see 2 things:
1. The data format changed so that you have have other data entered, especially numbers as many pay items need this format.
2. I would like a toggle on each pay item in employees pay templates, which allows you to turn on/off whether…7 votesThanks for sharing your idea about limiting which pay items from the Pay Template appear in timesheets.
Regarding adding other units for allowances to timesheets, I'd suggest heading over and showing some support these existing ideas:

Expenses - Submit expense and create new expense button
"Submit expense and make new"
When submitting an expense from using the submit button on the website you often need to submit another. It might be a good idea to have a UI control either a check box titled new expense upon submit" or an additional button titled "Submit and create New Expense" which lets one speed up the process of putting in multiple expenses.

AU Payroll - Search for staple superfunds
Would be great if Xero can do the search for employees staple fund especially when Payday super comes in
7 votesHi Kim, Thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026, and we’re also aware the ATO is currently building a Member Verification Request (MVR) system as part of the broader industry changes.
Feedback like this is really helpful as these changes continue to develop. If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help.

AU Payroll - Process Negative Total Super Contributions in a Super Batch
With the upcoming PayDay Super deadline, we need the ability to process a negative total Super Contribution Category in a Super Batch. I've recently had the scenario where an employer added and incorrect Super Category to the employee's pay, and then paid the super. When processing the payroll for the following week we discovered the error, reversed the pay, created it again with the correct super category and then recorded the current (2nd) weeks pay. There were 2 lines in the Pay Super from the previous week, a positive & negative (net amount $0, negative one to reverse incorrect super…
8 votesHi everyone, thank you for raising this with us ahead of payday super.
Whilst our product team have reviewed this closely, due to the way the Automatic Superannuation payment works, the ability to include negative payments is unlikely to be on our roadmap. The idea has been moved to Not in Pipeline and voting for this idea remains open.
We appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but at the moment your approach to this situation aligns with what we recomend.
However if there's any change to the way Automatic Superannuation payments work that will allow our product team to review this idea, we'll let you know.

Xero Me - Ability to reconcile credit card expenses from a bank feed
It is impossible to us the credit card bankfeed function and allow for the credit card user to account for these expenses in Xero Me.
Solution: allow for credit card transactions to pull through into Xero Me via automatic sychronisation. This should provide a more streamline approach to recordinng individual company card expenditure, remove time in reconciling missing receipts and remove duplication.53 votesHi everyone, we wanted to provide a quick update on the idea to enable reconciliation of credit card expenses directly within Xero Me.
This idea is currently classified as Gaining Support and has started to gain traction within the community. We appreciate those who have shared their interest and feedback so far.

Expenses - Ability to duplicate or copy a previous expense claim on browser
This is specifically for the Desktop Website, because the previous idea:
was closed, claiming that we can duplicate expenses through the Xero Me mobile app.
But this feature is missing in the Desktop Website https://go.xero.com/app/!Company/expenses/
It makes zero (xero?) sense that this Duplicate feature is ONLY in the mobile app, and still missing in the desktop website. It was also very disheartening that the previous idea was closed with the claim that it's possible in mobile app, while conveniently forgetting that some users are not using mobile app, and only using desktop website.
4 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand the request to duplicate a previous expense claim. Having a copy option could make recurring expenses quicker to submit and reduce repetitive data entry.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share your use case.

Entering photo's of receipts.
Receipt entry seems overly complicated, When I snap a picture of a receipt for say a dinner, small purchase etc, why not have the option to save the receipt to the Awaiting Payment folder, then the correct bank, expense category, etc can be added from the desktop. This seems particularly important as making tax digital catches more and more small business and freelancers.

claude connector super
The Xero MCP connector currently exposes accounting data only — invoices, bills, aged reports, P&L, balance sheet, bank transactions. There is no access to payroll: no pay runs, no employees, no super payment batches, no super payment status or due dates.
This matters more since payday super commenced 1 July 2026. Contributions must now be received by the employee’s fund within seven business days of the pay date, rather than 28 days after quarter end. The compliance window is short enough that it needs monitoring between pay cycles, not just at quarter end.
Without payroll endpoints, any automated check has…
