UK Payroll - option to bulk include/exclude all Employees from pay run.
For catering companies, or any business with many employees or recurring weekly staff, payroll can become stressful and very time-consuming. This is because all employees need to be unticked before running payroll for only those who actually worked in that specific week. Other companies face the same issue as well. Is there any shortcut to untick all employees at once before preparing payroll for the employees who actually worked in that week?
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your votes and comments on this idea. It’s clear that a simple 'Untick All' option when creating a pay run would save you a lot of time. We understand that manually deselecting employees one by one is time consuming, especially for those who have a large number of employees but only need to process a pay run for a few. We will keep this idea updated as we move through any design and development phases.

UK payroll: Download individual P11s
It would be useful to be able to download/print the P11's for an individual instead of it being a bulk download.

UK Payroll - report to include employee bank details
UK Payroll report to include employee bank details - would like a report to run employee contact details which lists existing bank details
19 votesHi Joanne, thanks so much for all your feedback and comments on this idea. We totally get how handy it’d be to have a report in Xero UK Payroll that includes employee bank details.
Not having something like this can definitely add extra work and hassle—especially when you need to send bank info to a third party or double-check payments.
Right now, the idea’s in the ‘Gaining support’ stage, which means we’re keeping a close eye on how many people are voting and sharing their thoughts. The more input we get, the easier it is for us to understand how important this is and where it might sit in our list of priorities.

UK Payroll - Group spend money transactions when paying multiple employees
When paying employees, instead of having 50 payments go through your bank account, its a bulk payment instead. One total payment (like a bulk payment made through your bank account where you get 25 payee's grouped together - Only the grand total shows in your bank account).
Making the accounting in Xero easier, also if Audited, quicker for checks.3 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. Whether your payroll appears as a single bulk total or individual lines depends entirely on your specific bank and the type of payment method you use (such as BACS vs. Faster Payments). Ultimately, whatever is recorded on your official bank statement is exactly what gets imported into Xero as a bank feed line.
That being said, we completely understand the request for Xero to automatically group these matching lines together on the reconciliation screen, or to provide a feature that allows you to reconcile all of them at once.

UK Payroll: Ceased Benefits YTD to remain on payslip
The year to date figure of any previous benefits (that have ceased during the tax year) should remain on the payslips for the whole of the tax year in which they were paid. For employees on a cumulative tax code, their year to date tax figure does not make sense without it. This should also be the case for previous pay elements (rather than grouping altogether into other payments), this is to keep a split of the taxable and non-taxable pay elements. Thank you!
5 votesThanks for sharing your idea on having YTD benefits appear consistently on the payslips. I understand benefits make up taxable earnings and should remain on the payslip.

UK Payroll - Display number of employees in the payrun
It would be very useful to have a feature in the pay run screen that displays the total number of employees selected for payment once employees are ticked off for processing.
This would be particularly helpful for advisors, accountants, and payroll bureaus when calculating payroll billing for clients. In many cases, not all employees listed in the payroll are paid in every pay run, as some employees may be inactive temporarily, unpaid, or excluded from that specific pay cycle.
Currently, users may need to manually count the selected employees, which can be time-consuming and increases the chance of errors. Having…

AU Payroll - Bulk update decimal points
Payroll template for employees have 6 decimal points. The bulk update pay rate only allows 2 decimal points with rounding, which make the pay rate incorrect.
There should be a setting that allow users to adjust decimal points to fit with each business set up.

AU Payroll - Add a link from timesheets that takes users back to the draft pay run

Expenses - Pick Expenses attendees from directory
I’d like to submit a feature request for an enhancement to Xero Expenses, specifically around team meal and group expense submissions.
Current Challenge
When employees submit expenses such as team meals, client lunches, or group events, there is currently no built-in way to select the attendees from within the organisation.At the moment, users can only enter attendee details manually (e.g., typing names into the description), which leads to:
-inconsistent formatting
-missing attendee information
-difficulty auditing expenses
-additional work for finance teams during review and P11D/PSA reportingRequested Feature

Feedback on Onboarding Process and Superannuation Selection
Hi Xero Team,
I wanted to share my feedback regarding the recent onboarding options you've made available in the software. Overall, I'm quite happy with the new onboarding process.
However, a few issues have been occurring consistently over recent weeks that are now affecting multiple clients.
One notable flaw is that employees entering their own superannuation details often don’t understand what they should be selecting. We’ve had multiple instances where employees have accidentally selected self-managed super funds. As a result, when we process the super for that week—since we don’t handle payroll or add information for these clients—the entire batch…

AU Payroll - Payroll Admin to create Time Sheet templates on behalf of employees
An Upgrade to the Timesheets function that would allow businesses to create permanent, personalised templates for individual employees.
Currently, timesheets need to be manually updated each pay period, which increases the risk of inconsistency and errors. Having the ability to set up fixed Earnings Rate descriptions as part of a permanent template would make timesheets more efficient, accurate, and tailored to each business.
For example, it would be very useful if a timesheet template could include pre-set lines such as:
Ordinary hours – Direct
Ordinary hours – Operating
Overtime hours (exempt from super)
Overtime hours (including super)
Overtime Mon–Sat –…

mark leave balances as paid
It would be great if Sick leave Logged after closing of the month would go to next Payment run. At the moment its just sitting there showing as Unpaid, even though it was paid. Or if would be possible to mark it as paid manually.
