UK Payroll - Deselect employee from entering timesheets
It would be useful to be able to deselect employees form completing time sheets and therefore not appear on the time sheet screen. We have admin staff that don't complete time sheets but I still have to submit nil time sheets to ensure all are up-to-date

AU Payroll - Submit total hours for week rather than each day
Option to submit total ordinary hours for week rather than each day. + Alam reminder to do hours just before payrun is done
3 votesWe appreciate you sharing your ideas regarding timesheets.
We've reviewed your idea and can see that the idea regarding notifications is an existing Xero Product Idea called Notification - Reminder to employee to enter Timesheet. This is currently in review with our product team.
The ability to input weekly hours (rather than daily) has not yet been raised though. The idea is now available to the community to share their support. We'll keep you updated!

Au payroll - Option to reorder dates in unscheduled pay run dropdown.
When there are no payruns for multiple pay runs in a row, please add a feature to allow to reset the pay cycle from a selected date. As it is, if a client doesn't have any pay runs, we need to either post/file the empty pay runs to keep on the pay calendar, or run all future pays as unscheduled pay runs, or set up a new pay calendar. Wouldn't it be great if there was a more simple way to keep on track with pay cycles?! Also, when selecting an unscheduled pay run, please reorder the pay dates so…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea regarding unscheduled pay runs. I can see Belinda has let you know how to roll the pay calendar forward in the payroll settings when there have been no pay runs for a while. I hope that's helped.

STP Finalisation - Add a prominent warning before finalising to confirm the year
The lack of warnings, pop ups or anything relating to accidentally finalising STP for the wrong financial year is pretty disappointing.
I work on a large screen and didn't see the tiny little 2025-26 drop down menu top right. I've selected the employees to finalise and proceeded with the wrong year. At no point was there a warning, note, message or anything to bring light to it being the wrong year.
Yes I know I should have concentrated more, yes I realise now the financial year is displayed at the top of the confirmation screen, but for something that has…1 voteThank you for submitting your idea and highlighting the key improvements you'd like to see.

NZ Payroll - Option to remove Salary Hours on Payslips
Please update to have the option of removing salary hours on payslips.
We just need the Gross Salary for that line and not the hours.
When we have employees working accross different days of the week Xero Payroll round the hours and so in our example someone on 100 hours working 11 days per fortnight, Xero Payroll rounds the Salary Hours to 99.9999 on the payslip which is close but not correct. Currently no workaround for this.2 votesThanks for sharing your idea to add the option to remove salary hours from a payslip.

AU Payroll - Long Service Leave report to show start date
It would assist us if the Leave Accrued Report could also show the employee's start date. Long Service Leave is only applicable to staff from the 5 or 10 year mark for us in NSW but to ascertain whether staff are eligible for it is requiring external spreadsheets that have to be manually adjusted each month. Xero already has the functionality to enable this so it can't be hard to action.

AU Payroll - Add 'Save & Next' button to top of employee pay details screen in Pay Run.
In Xero Payroll, it would greatly improve efficiency if the "Save & Next" button appeared at the top of the employee pay details screen, not just at the bottom.
For businesses with detailed pay setups (multiple earnings lines, deductions, reimbursements, etc.), scrolling to the bottom of every employee’s pay screen just to click "Save & Next" is time consuming and disruptive to workflow.
Adding this button to the top would:
Streamline navigation during pay runs
Reduce unnecessary scrolling
Improve accessibility for users reviewing multiple employee pays in one session
This small UI change would make a big difference for payroll…

NZ Payroll - transition employment basis instead of terminate
It would be great if could change casual employee to permanent without having to terminate the employee first and re-enter all their data and have to remember to delete their email address before adding to them as a new employee. It's especially annoying if they use XeroMe to submit timesheets. Other payroll such as IMS or MYOB don't require employees to be terminated and re-entered if their employment basis changes.

AU Payroll | Employee - View employment duration date below start date
The "Details" tab lists the employee's age under the "Date of birth" field.
Having "Employed for # Years & # Months" below the "Start date" field would be handy. It would give a quick, "at a glance" look at how long someone has been employed by a business for estimating notice periods and anticipating imminent entitlement to LSL.
Attached is what the "Date of birth" currently looks like (I've used my own name and birth year) and a mock-up of what I'm suggesting might look like.
Given that the "Details" tab already does almost exactly this, it should be a…

NZ Payroll - Copy timesheet tracking
It would be great if we could copy timesheet tracking each week. We have a client that has extensive tracking for timesheets - with some employees having time tracked to a number of different tracking codes. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to save the tracking for each employee so we do not need to enter it each payrun.

NZ Payroll - Option to create pre-tax deductions
The new NZ WorkRide scheme works via a pre-tax deduction re salary sacrifice. Xero Support confirmed that right now there’s no functionality in Xero Payroll to process a pre-tax deduction. We have been advised that we need to manually adjust the tax in the draft pay run to reduce the PAYE withheld. Please enable your customers to comply with the NZ WorkRide scheme without the need for manual PAYE adjustments, by creating the ability to process pre-tax deductions.

NZ Payroll - Sick leave entitlements to automatically accrue when employees are included in any future pay run following their entitlement.
As a Chartered Accountant, I’ve observed an issue in Xero’s handling of sick leave entitlements that I believe warrants improvement. Currently, if an employee is not included in the pay run closest to their sick leave entitlement date, the entitlement does not accrue. This creates a significant gap in compliance with employment obligations and adds unnecessary administrative burden to correct.
To enhance the functionality and flexibility of Xero's payroll system, I think that sick leave entitlements should automatically accrue when the employee is included in any future pay run following their entitlement date. This adjustment would ensure compliance with employment…3 votesThanks for your feedback of how Xero handles sick leave entitlements, Natalee.
I've made sure this is shared back with our product team, and while we can understand the reason for change you'd like to see here, we want to be open that this isn't something we have planned in the immediate future.
Right now, if an employee isn't included in the scheduled pay run when their leave anniversary date falls, you'll need to do a manual leave adjustment to grant the employee the missed entitlement.
If there's any news of change for this, we'll update you here.
