AU Payroll - Calculate and display total hours worked on pay slips
Payslips need to have an option to show total hours paid to employees. Currently it isn't clear at a glance to employees or for auditing that paid hours total worked hours. Having this automatically calculate based on the approved timesheet and tallied at the bottom (alongside the this pay $ perhaps) would be ideal.

AU Payroll - Add additional Payroll employee for a charge
Please allow adding on an extra employee for payroll in Australia, as is possible in the UK.
The Ignite plan is enough for most small businesses and sole traders, but the jump in price just to add an extra employee means paying more than double, which is cost prohibitive.
Most businesses don't need the add on and accounting tools when you move up to Grow or Comprehensive - allowing for an extra payroll add on for a small charge, would be beneficial for family and small businesses.8 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting how important flexible payroll options are for your business.
We understand that needing to upgrade your plan just to add a few more employees can feel limiting—especially for growing businesses. Being able to add employees on a per-user basis could offer a more cost-effective and flexible solution.

Payroll AU - Preset Start and end date for Child support deductions
It would be useful for child support deductions to be able when we get the letter saying "this much from this date to that date and this much from that date going forward" to be able to put both those things in at the same time rather than relying on all-too-fallible humans to remember to go in and change the amounts on a particular date.

Payroll AU: effective start and end dates for pay items on pay template
Can we please have the ability to add effective start and end dates against pay items. For example, a deduction may only be for 10 weeks at a set amount. Rather than having to setup multiple notes offline to remind us of this, can we have this function setup in the payroll system so it only deducts the amount over the set period specified.

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.

AU Payroll: Superannuation Accruals Report available in the Pay run
Could you please add the Superannuation Accruals report to the View Reports dropdown list in a payrun.
This will be a great inclusion to the report options once payday Super kicks in and for those already completing payday Super.
Adding this along with a Fast Click to Super payments from the payrun will make payday Super processes streamline for all.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Payroll (UK) - Bank holidays to automatically deduct from annual entitlement
Link the holiday group, working pattern and leave entitlement so it automatically deducts the relevant number of hours taken off for a bank holiday. Our contracts stipulate 28 days including bank holidays pro rated. The holiday group deducts the bank holidays on the pay slips but doesn't reduce the annual entitlement so the leave allowance is always higher than it should be. If you don't use the holiday group so you can circumvent the allowance being incorrect you then have to manually add the bank holidays for each user to ensure the pay and holiday allowance is correct which is…
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea and highlighting what matters most to you. Currently you don't need to process a leave request for public holidays.
If an employee is assigned to a holiday group in their Employment information, Xero will automatically add a Bank Holiday/public holiday earnings line to the payslip and reduce their ordinary hours by this amount.
If you want a contract that’s “28 days inclusive of bank holidays,” you can set this up by either:
- Entering a reduced annual leave entitlement (for example, 20 days if 8 bank holidays are included).
- Not assigning the employee to a holiday group and treating bank holidays as part of their regular annual leave.

AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to Drag and drop hours between days
When entering hours and locations into the timesheet, if a day is selected incorrectly (for example, selecting Thursday instead of Friday), it would be very helpful to be able to drag and drop the hours to the correct day rather than having to delete and re-enter the time in the correct day.

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group

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.

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.

AU Payroll - Reports downloaded from posted pay runs to include pay period rather than payment date
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD…4 votesThanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").

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 requests are created for the same date
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.

UK Payroll P30 & Payroll Summary Issue
Currently, Xero Payroll UK does not generate a monthly P30 form with a payment reference. It would be highly beneficial if Xero could introduce an automated P30 report that includes all necessary references for monthly submissions. Additionally, the Payroll Summary report should be enhanced by including both employer and employee pension contributions, ensuring better reporting. These improvements would significantly streamline payroll processes and reduce manual work for users.

Duplicate Bill Review - Want to be able to click on the shown expenses
Recently the "Duplicate Bill Review" warning was a great idea. However, it shows multiple entries for the same amount but there is no link for you to actually see the potentially duplicated expenses. As a result, you then have to waste time manually searching the accounts with various date ranges just to find the expenese.
Having a link to the "duplicate expense" would be so helpful and time efficenet. The time taking looking into these put be off using it which defeats the entire point in my eyes.
Hope this helps.1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
