Payroll Journals - Customise Description for Transaction Reports to provide better context
When running reports to review Staff costs & looking into account transactions, Payroll journals provide descriptions that don't give correct/clear context. For example, under Employers Pension Contributions, the description provided is "Benefits" rather than Employers Pension Contributions. Or under Employment Costs it just says Earnings rather than "Gross Earnings". A final example was when an employee took unpaid leave, however the only description provided was "Deductions". This does not reflect clear context. It would be helpful if Xero had the means to be able to customise these descriptions or maybe have the option to ask Payroll/Reports to mirror the descriptions…
15 votesHi Sophie ✨, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We're well aware how the generic descriptions in pay run journals can be confusing when they don't align with your specific payroll settings. We understand that you've been using workarounds like exporting reports to Excel and manually editing them to get the detail you need. While this can help in the short term, we recognize it is a time-consuming process that shouldn't be necessary.We've shared your valuable feedback with our product team. As with all new features, we have to balance this against other development priorities. We can't promise a specific timeline, but the more support an idea gets, the higher it climbs on our list.

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.

NZ Payroll - Add fixed allowance capability to timesheets
Currently, employees cannot add allowances to their timesheet if they are setup as fixed amounts (i.e - nightshift allowance where an employee works at night)
An employee should have the capability of adding the allowances they are entitled to where appropriate. The approver would then review before approving.

UK Payroll - Employee address change
When you change an employees address on xero, it changes the address on all previous payslips to the new address it should be the address the employee was living at when the payslip was sent

UK Payroll - Bulk add or amend pay items on employee pay templates
Ability to bulk amend pay template to cater for one offs payments to all employees - like a Christmas bonus
5 votesHi Lauren
Thanks for sharing your suggestion. I can definitely see how manual it is to add a Christmas bonus or one-off payment line for every single employee individually!
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support. Currently, pay templates in UK Payroll need to be updated one by one, so a "bulk update" tool would be a huge time-saver for larger teams.
I’ve updated the title to "UK Payroll - Bulk add or amend pay items on employee pay templates" to help others find it and add their votes.
Quick Tip for now: If this is a truly "one-off" payment (and not something you want on their template for every month moving forward), the fastest way currently is to add the Bonus pay item directly to the Draft Pay Run. Once you add the column to the pay run, you can enter the amounts for each person in one…

NZ Payroll - Filter Payroll Reports by Tracking Category
The problem:
Xero Payroll does not currently allow reporting by Tracking Categories (e.g. by location, cost centre, or department). While Tracking can be applied to invoices and expenses, payroll reports (Pay Runs, Pay History, Payroll Activity, etc.) cannot be grouped or filtered in the same way.
For businesses with multiple locations under a single entity, this means payroll costs cannot be easily allocated to the correct branch. At present, the only workaround is to export payroll reports to Excel and manually tag employees, or rely on journal postings into the P&L.
What’s already set up
Employees can already be allocated…7 votesHey Timothy! It's great to see ideas like this from the community, thank you for posting it.

UK Payroll - 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…
9 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.

NZ Payroll - Approve timesheets without payroll admin access
Could we please have the ability to grant managers the "Approve Timesheets" option like the current "Approve Leave" option and be able to specify which managers are to approve specific Employee Leave and Timesheets - all without having to give managers Payroll Admin Access so they cannot see anyone's payroll details.

Feature to calculate start time based off timer
For employees required to post their start and end times for each different task, figuring out the start time can be difficult, unless they note it down each time they start a new task. The timer is very handy, but would it be possible to add in a feature so that Xero automatically calculates the start time based on the current time and the timer? E.g. it's 10:29am and my timer says I have been working on this task for 23 minutes, so the start time automatically populates to 10:06. This would save lots of time; we currently use the…

timesheet start date
Can we change the start date of timesheets, please? Timesheets are often completed after the fact and I do payroll up to 10 days ahead of the end of the month, so I have a cut-off date for timesheets so that they can be processed for payroll. This means that the last one or two weeks of the month have to be included in the following month's timesheet (on Xero) as a lump at the beginning of the month, labelled as "Previous Month". Some months include 4 weeks and some include 5 weeks, so it can't be a set date…

Auto Payroll Payments from Xero (similar to Auto Super)
I'd love to see Xero introduce an Auto Payroll feature that works in the same way as Auto Super.
The concept would be that a business signs a direct debit authority allowing payroll payments to be made from their nominated bank account. The business owner could then appoint one or more payroll approvers within Xero, allowing those users to approve and process payroll payments directly from Xero without requiring full access to the client's online banking.
This would have a number of benefits:
- Improved security by removing the need to give bookkeepers and payroll staff internet banking access.
- Reduced administration…

Expenses - Mileage tracking to alert when 10,000KM's are reached
For mileage expenses a way to have a total amount of miles used so that I can track once I reach 10,000 miles and adjust the rate from 45p to 25p. Or have this set to automatically.
8 votesThanks for the idea ✨ and for explaining the need to be alerted at a mileage threshold so the rate can be updated. We’ve reviewed this and, at this stage, we’re not planning to progress it. The approach needed here would rely on a GPS component for automated tracking, and this isn’t something we’re exploring right now. In the meantime, you can continue recording mileage manually and adjust the rate when you reach your threshold. We’ll keep monitoring interest in this space, and if our direction changes, we’ll update here. Thanks again for sharing your use case and helping us understand your needs 🙏

P45
Why can the employee not have access to their P45 through XeroMe? If you can access payslips and P60s - surely it would make sense to access their P45.

Be notified via My Xero or Notification Alarm Bell of bounced or rejected auto super payments
New notification of bounced or rejected auto super payments for all Xero files we have access to, in a central area like "My Xero". This way we could check My Xero once a day to see if any payday super payments failed instead of sifting through emails and possibly missing the alert.
Alternatively, a notification could show under the alarm bell logo notifying us of any auto super payments that didn't go through.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.
