NZ Payroll | Timesheets - Set timesheet default view to display draft/current period timesheets
Currently the screen shows the last processed timesheet, which in this case is last week's.
Having just selected the next period (for this current week) and created and saved a draft, that should be the period/timesheet I see on the screen. Instead it defaults back to last week, meaning in order to go and edit or approve this current week I have to go and select it again from the dropdown - extra clicks and steps that are unnecessary.
Please change the default view to the current week, or make it a user preference. I have no need to go…
1 voteAppreciate you raising this idea. Having Timesheets open directly to the current period could make it quicker to enter and review hours without adjusting the date each time.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and share which period you'd prefer as the default.

UK Payroll - Calculate pension contributions on pre-Statutory earnings
I Would like Xero to create a built-in feature whereby Employer pension contributions stay the same even during Statutory Pay Periods e.g. SMP or SSP.
This is common in medical practices where the practice must pay contributions based of the employees salary as opposed to the rate of SSP or SMP.3 votesThanks for sharing your idea about keeping employers' contribution rates fixed while an employee is on statutory leave.
I wanted to let you know that it is currently possible to set pension contributions to a fixed amount, however appreciate this workaround won't suit everyone, especially those managing multiple employees.

AU Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Encountered an issue where employees annual leave has been entered twice and it doesn’t flag in the system. Unsure if a Xero glitch or a human glitch, but regardless, it shouldn’t be able to process 2 Annual Leave runs for the same dates/ Pay periods.

Payroll Details on the Xero HQ page
Add payroll details on the Xero HQ Insights page.
In the same way that we can see the bank reconciliation data, we need columns that show the last pay run and the last date of super paid (or the earliest pay run of super that still needs to be paid). Earliest STP not filed would be good as well.
I understand that some entities will have multiple pay runs in operation but an indication of the last pay run processed, pay day suepr and STP filings would be af huge value in monitoring the situaiton for out clients.

Expenses - Add , Approve and Pay on one screen
Adding physical receipts as a New Expense, currently it is not an option to add the expense, approve it and pay it all on the same screen! this would reduce multiple screen requirements and delay in processing, also assist with reconciliation.

Bill Payments - Display bank account balance when selecting payment accounts in Melio integration
I can choose a bank account to pay from but I cannot see how much is in that account.

Expense claims - Improve duplicate expense claim warnings and error handling
A warning banner appears every time an employee makes an expense claim for the same amount as a previous expense claim. Many expense claims are for the same amount but for different dates. Can the warning please be improved to highlight only expense claims for the same amount and the same date?
1 voteAppreciate your feedback, Jean. We understand the request to make duplicate expense warnings clearer and more useful. Providing more context around why a claim has been flagged could make it easier to review potential duplicates and avoid unnecessary interruptions for legitimate expenses.

In app bulk reconciliation
The app needs SO MUCH more functionality including the ability to multiple select transactions that aren’t tax deductions and then send them to an account all at once. That’s what takes up the most time, painfully going through every transaction separately. You should be able to multi-select a bunch and then send them to an account

NZ Payroll - Efficient timesheets data entry and display
Make the New Layout as Efficient/Productive as the Classic Layout. It takes too many mouse clicks to set up the timesheets, compared to the Classic Layout:
1) The Classic Layout had "weeks" for the employer to choose. It didn't require you to click the starting date & the finish date. Can the New Layout have the most recent unpaid week already present, so that the employer/manager can immediately input the hours for each day?
2) The Classic Layout allowed me to click each employee & immediately input their hours. The New Layout does not. This wastes time & makes me…2 votesHi Junn Thanks for sharing your feedback about what you enjoyed in the old timesheet layout.

SPPA Integration
Other payroll software integrates directly with SPPA so that at a click of a button you can export all the information you need for your SPPA Annual return. I know from speaking to my GP Practice Manager colleagues that this is the main thing preventing them from moving over to Xero Payroll. The reruns can be quite complex, especially if you have part time staff or staff starting part way through the year so this would make life a lot easier.

UK Payroll: Default payment reference for Xero wage payments
I'd like to change the default payment reference that appears when I'm paying my employees through payroll in Xero. Currently, it shows "weekly wages" but I'd like it to default to my company name "CS UK Logistics" since I run both weekly and monthly payroll.

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…
16 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. Please continue to vote and comment on this and similar ideas to show your support. We'll be sure to provide another update when we can✨

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…8 votesHey Timothy! It's great to see ideas like this from the community, thank you for posting it.

AU Payroll: Include total employer cost section within pay run.
Please show Super+Earnings on the payroll screen so I dont have to do the calcualation manually every month for every employee when trying to work out their pay which includes super. it would be a 15 min job to add this to the screen and would be very very helpful. see screen shot

Payroll AU: Filter super payable by pay frequencies
Filter Super Payables by Payroll Run Name
Add a sort function to Super payable by Payroll Run Name
This will allow easy reconciliation of the super payment approval amount to the payroll run concerned.
We do multiple pay runs for different departments on 1 day so to be able to sort by pay run would be a great improvement & time saver.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea about filtering super payments by individual pay runs rather than just by pay period.
As you noted, when multiple pay run schedules share the same period, the current filter doesn't separate them. As a workaround, you can open the specific pay run and select Make Payment > Pay Super, as this will group the superannuation exclusively for that specific pay run.

AU Payroll - Match decimal places for Leave and timesheet hours when using start and finish times
Entering leave and timesheets need to tie in together. Currently if an employee enters start and finish times on their timesheet it creates four decimal places and when they enter leave for the same day it does not link to the timesheet and the employee enters their leave with two decimal places resulting in the days pay not being the full hours for the day. The reports for timesheets need to default to four decimal places if that is how it is going to be calculated.

AU Payroll - Payslips message - remove character limit
The character limit for the "Individual message for [employeefirstname]" input box on the payrun appears to be 300 characters. Please remove that limit so that I can list the titles of the jobs that the employee is being paid for at the rates shown in the Earning Rates section.

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.

Payroll / Chart of Accounts - Set Default GL Expense Account by Employee Group
Could you look into allowing employee groups to allow the set up different employee group with distinct expense accounts for direct cost based employees versus administrative staff (for example). this provides a better way to categorize and track labor costs as either direct costs or expenses (variable versus fixed)
