  1. "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.

    Thanks for sharing this idea! As you noted, P60 reports for previous years currently bulk all employees together.

    We’ve reviewed your suggestion and opened it up to the community to gather support. Be sure to share this link with colleagues who would benefit from this feature so they can cast their vote!

    We also encourage anyone interested to drop a comment sharing how this update would improve their workflow in Xero.

  4. the ability to add dates and tracking categories and attaching them to a project. when entering pays from Payroll > Pay Employees. I know that a journal can be done after the fact, but that is time consuming. Much easier, simpler, faster to do when entering hours.

  8. Would it be possible to add the ability to have more than one approver, or to allow users to select a budget holder so they can be notified that there is an expense requiring their approval?

    We have multiple budget holders across the company, and our credit card holders often make purchases that need to be charged to someone else's budget. Having a workflow similar to ApprovalMax would be extremely helpful.

    For example:

    Submitter → Budget Holder → Approver

    This would ensure the budget holder is aware of and approves expenses against their budget before the final approval stage, providing…

  9. Separate annual leave paid out on termination from annual leave taken in the payroll activity summary report which would help for checking the correct super was paid and also for payroll tax purposes depending on the state.

    Thanks for sharing your idea with us. To be completely upfront, this isn't currently on our roadmap. However, you can already view this information within the employee's STP summary by checking the STP finalisation screen.

    Even though it's not planned right now, we're leaving your post open to see what kind of feedback and support it gathers from the community. If you know colleagues who would benefit from this, feel free to share the link so they can add their votes. Other members can also drop comments to share how this change would improve their day-to-day experience with Xero.

  10. Adding the employee basis somewhere on the pay employees pay run screen where it lists all the employees in the pay run have a column showing whether they are fulltime or casual etc.

  11. It would be awesome if I could get a confirmation email to my inbox when I submit my payroll. This way, when I panic because I don't remember if I did payroll or not, I can easily see in my email that I did. Just for peace of mind as well as a timestamp for when it's done.

    Hi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

    Did you know you can join our Xero Research panel to be involved in early testing and research? Find out more and sign up through our website 🙂

  12. Dynamic reporting. So users are able to select tables and can join multiple tables, add mathmatical functions and but date and fileters in this dynamic report. This way and average joe don't need to setup pipelines for simple repoting. The option to drag and drop ccolumns would be super helpful. Take field glass reporting as an example. Scheduling features to all of the reports would be a game changer, then suddnely, users can setup piplines through Xero GUI instead of tinkering with the API to get this working.

  14. just found out that when an employees hours increase close to their anniversary date the hours of leave due are calculated only on the hourly rate at that time and not pro-rata for the year. example works 9 months at 35 hours and 3 months at 40 hours, the staff member should be allocated 3 x 35 and 1 x 40 weeks of annual leave = 145 hours but Xero will allocate them 160 hours. This is not a difficult fix.

  15. Would like to see the option to have negative line items within timesheets and in the Employee Pay Templates.

    Currently, in timesheets and pay template you cannot enter a negative units value. This would be useful when entering RDO deduction to hours worked.

    EG, john works 40 hours (8 hours per day) and is deducted -4.hours for RDO adjustment (-.80 per day).

    Per day = 8 Hours* $60 per hour, less -.8 RDO adjustment* $60 per hour = $432 for one day.

    It would be useful to be able to enter the '-.80 RDO adjustment line' in the timesheet and…

    Thanks for sharing your idea and letting us know you'd like to process negative RDO adjustments in timesheets. Based on how you're currently processing this, you'd need to add the adjustment to the draft payslip.

  16. I recently invited a new employee to self onboard-which is a great time saver. I put in a nominal expiry date and then I do not recall getting any notification that they had onboarded. A nice big notification in Xero when I logged in would have been great. I have been in and out of Xero all week for various other tasks and next minute I received an email saying their onboarding had expired. I had no option to retrieve her info and had to delete her and resend the invitation which made me look inept. Alternatively, Xero could keep…

  17. Xero will show me banners at certain times to tell me of a new feature that could save me some time but they do that without first checking whether I am using that feature already. For instance, Xero just told me how I could save time with automatic superannuation. I spent time reading the linked article only to realize that I already have automatic superannuation payments set up and operating. Xero has the data to know if I am using the feature they want to advertise. Xero should respect it's users' time by not suggesting features that users are already…

  18. We offer employees the option to sacrifice salary for additional leave. Prorating the salary is easy - just enter a new salary and a day for it to apply from. Giving the additional leave is a pain, as it aligns with the financial year, not the employee's leave anniversary date. At the moment I have to create a new leave type, and manually add the leave balance.
    I would like xero to give the option to accrue a certain amount of this leave each pay cycle, or just add to the annual leave balance.

    Hi Tim thanks for letting us know how auto accrual for additional leave would assist your business.

  19. There currently is no report that incorporates a list of employees based on "Income type". Hence there is no filtering that can be done by "Income Type" either. As a company that employs people from multiple income types, this feature is something of importance to us. Manually creating, updating and managing a spreadsheet for this information seems workload heavy when it should be simple as the information is already a part of XERO's requirements for employee employment information. Knowing how many Working Holiday Makers you have on your books compared to non WHM's is of significance.

    I would think many…

    Thanks so much for sharing how a report for working holiday makers (WHM) would help with your payroll!

    We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support and will be keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from other users.

    In the meantime, a couple of handy workarounds are: using the Classification field (which appears in the Employee Remuneration report), or setting up Employee Groups, which are also available in reporting.

  20. Xero currently provides two tracking categories with multiple options, and also offers project tracking. However, these existing structures do not meet the needs of organisations that manage payroll funded by multiple external funders.

    In many organisations, especially in the charity and grant-funded sector, a single employee’s payroll cost is often covered by three or more separate funding sources. These are not projects or internal cost centres. They are external funders who jointly or separately contribute to the cost of one employee’s role.

    Current Limitation

    Payroll does not allow direct allocation of an employee’s cost to multiple tracking category options linked…

    Hi Abimbola Thanks for the great explanation of how adding multiple tracking codes to payroll costs using percentages would streamline the process of allocating this to fund providers.

    We can see how this would help with complex funding arrangements so have moved this to Gaining Support.
