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…
2 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 - Report for Workers Compensation
A simple payroll report that shows the actual wages for a period for reporting for Workers Compensation as it is a legal requirement for AU businesses. Details would be split into wages paid including super, with the residency status (+country of origin for Working Holiday Makers) - with a split if an employee has changed employment basis (i.e., moved from Casual to FT) in the period.
And any additional details that are required by the majority of insurance companies who handle Workers Comp.25 votes -

It would be really helpful if a bill could be created from the pension filing figures on payroll once you have clicked on marked as filed. (such as it is an option when you do your vat return)

Annual salary multiple lines
Can we please show multiple annual salary on the payslip if there is more than one ordinary time earnings rates. I would like to show a "secondment wages" line when a person is hired by another firm for one day a week as a breakup on the payslip.

AU Payroll - Flag negative leave on final pay
When using the final pay function and annual leave is in negative, please flag with a "check with your bookkeeper, accountant or Fair Work before processing negative leave on a final pay." Some business owners are unaware that this may be contravening Fair Work laws.

UK Payroll - Don't send automated EPS returns
Like it says on the tin. Why do Xero send an unnecessary EPS each month when its not needed? If I want to change my payroll, great send the EPS when I approve it. If I make a late payment, send the EPS once I've finalised the payroll. But please stop sending pointless returns which makes me wonder what Xero is doing filing unnecessary data that is more likely to cause problems with HMRC than not given their systems.

Payroll UK - Ability to process payroll for multiple HMRC PAYE schemes.
I temporarily suspended working through my UK Limited Company during COVID, and I was advised by my accountant to close my Payroll. When I resumed Ltd Co operating I discovered that it was impossible to create a new Payroll against my existing Organisation in Xero. I now do my payroll in Sage, at extra cost.
Have you fixed this ? (I don’t have time to search hundreds of existing ideas)

AU Payroll - Option to 'Approve & Next' employee
In Payroll --> Timesheet --> entering hours for employees, there is no option to 'Approve & Next' employee, which would make entering hours easier. It would mean one doesn't have to keep going back to the main Timesheet menu when they are working through a roster of staff.

Contacts - When entering an expense claim, create a supplier contact with the employee bank account details
When an employee submits an expense claim for reimbursement, a new "supplier" contact record is created and the bill is assigned to this contact. When the contact record is created the employee's bank account details are not copied over to the supplier contact record. In order to pay them - using the batch payment screen, we have to load up their employee record and copy over their bank account details.
I am suggesting an enhancement to copy the employee's primary bank account over to their supplier contact record when the bill is created.

UK Payroll - Ability to input HMRC payments in the taxes and filings screen
Within the taxes and filings screen that details tax months and the breakdown of liabilities, input cells beneath each value for PAYE, NIC, recoveries, etc, with the purpose of entering in amounts paid and reconciling the individual months. Most useful when overpayments/underpayments occur, or a business is on payment plan. The total for each month and overall total could then recalculate after each entry and the total balance owing should then reconcile back to the balance sheet. Essentially something similar to the VAT reconciliation function

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?
1 voteHi 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.

AU Payroll - Suggestion for improvement: Include 'Description' field in Leave Request report
We use the description field to identify when staff use different types of leave that reduce the PL balance, but require tracking - Moving Days, Wellbeing Days, Special Leave etc. Being able to include these descriptions in the Leave Request report enables us to keep track more efficiently.

Payroll - Add pay run comparative to prior pay run
When processing payroll, be able to see a comparative between current pay run and previous pay run before completion/filing to identify any discrepancies.
104 votesHello everyone, while you can currently export reports to compare pay runs, we understand the value of having this capability built directly into Xero and have been following this idea closely.
For now, AU and UK organisations can use the Payroll Activity Details report for one employee at a time by selecting the relevant date range for the pay periods. To help prevent errors, we recommend checking that employee pay templates are set up correctly, ensuring future pay runs are consistent and accurate.
Although this isn’t on our roadmap at present, we recognise the impact it'd have for customers and will continue to consider it as we plan future payroll enhancements. We’ll share any updates related to payroll comparatives here.

UK Payroll - Leave Transactions report
A report that provides details of employees leave to be able to see the leave accruals and leave taken for the pay period.
This would help as an audit trail and when preparing a salary budget or during a salary review.60 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important granular leave reporting is for your payroll processing. We understand many of you are tracking Leave outside of Xero as a workaround.
We hear you’re also interested in a Leave Balances Report. UK Payroll - Leave Balances Report is a separate Product Idea, so we’d love to see your votes and ideas on this topic too.
Whilst a Leave Transactions Report is not currently set in our roadmap, our product team is reviewing the viability of developing more comprehensive reporting solutions.
We are changing the status of this idea to Accepted. Keep an eye on this idea and we’ll update you when there are further developments.

excluding leave payments
AU Payroll - Excluding Leave request payments from Unscheduled Payruns
I would like to be able to exclude the payment of approved leave when processing an unscheduled payrun.
To illustrate, if I was processing a pre-Christmas bonus payrun for staff because the next scheduled payrun was after Christmas, the pay advice will include any unpaid leave hours that would normally be paid as part of that post-Christmas payrun, which then changes the total to be paid from the bank account & possibly the approved gross payment amount relating to the bonus.
Further, when you process the next scheduled payrun, Xero…
