AU Payroll - Process payroll from Xero accounting app.
Would love to be able to access payroll data and process payroll from ipad app. Instead of having to loggin into safari or google to lodge payroll. I can nearly use every aspect of my daily xero usuage through the app and then need to log in somewhere seperately to do payroll. To be able to do it on the app as well would be amazing
2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback about a dedicated Xero Payroll app! As you're aware the Xero mobile app is a companion to the main Xero web platform. It allows you to monitor finances on the go like creating invoices, and reconciling transactions. Because it is a companion app, it doesn't include all of Xero's web features such as payroll.
We appreciate your feedback, and we agree that having a fully dedicated Xero Payroll app could be incredibly useful for managing your team on the move.

AU - Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee
Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee, not just as a total for all employees. Currently you have to select each employee to generate the totals for 1 employee and if you have 100 employees, that's 100 reports instead of just 1.
Exactly like MYOB does it, sample MYOB report attached.13 votesThanks for submitting your idea, Tom.

AU Payroll: Automate Pay Runs
For any fixed salary employees, there should be an option to automate their regular (fortnightly/monthly) payruns. There's no reason why I need to manually create these for fixed salary employees.
Any changes to salary or leave balances etc are all managed separately via their respective employee records or leave requests.

casual employee paid a percentage of takings, Xero functionality calculate LSL
Casual employees who provide a services are paid a percentage based on their individual takings. Would be good if xero could incorporate this into paying LSL - Long service leave. If xero could so all working that are needed to come up with the hourly rate that is paid as all employees get a set hourly LSL amount of hours added every pay but the casual employee paid percentage work all different amt of hours and all different fees

Payroll AU: Download super payment report from a batch
Automatic superannuation>Payment batch details>Payment processing
Would you be able to add a print option to this screen?
After processing the Superannuation payment, this is the final screen that shows that the Superannuation payments are queued up for payment with Xero.
I would like to save this record in my Payroll batch for the Accountant.
This shows the Accountant that I have processed the Superannuation payment.1 voteHi Rachel, thanks for sharing this idea!
Currently it's possible to generate reports for paid and unpaid superannuation accruals by using the Superannuation Accruals or Superannuation Payment report.
However, we can definitely see the benefit and convenience of having a bespoke report that's downloadable directly from an approved batch.

NZ Payroll - Allow Employees to save a copy of a submitted timesheet for their records before approval/edits
It would be great for employees to have an option to save a copy of their Submitted timesheet, for their records. This means they would have proof of their Submitted timesheet to then compare to their timesheet once Approved.
Often employers may make edits to the entered hours or earnings types before Approving an employee's timesheet, and the employee having the option to save a copy of their timesheet before it is Submitted would mean they could directly compare the two, and check any edits made are correct.
1 voteThanks for highlighting this opportunity. We understand the request for employees to be able to download or save a copy of a submitted timesheet before it's approved or edited. Having access to the original submission could help employees keep their own records and refer back to what was submitted.

AU Payroll - Contractor Type for Performing Artists
Contactor income type for performers
Given the changes to the entitlement to Super for performing artists and a flat rate of 20% PAYG on the payment amount in the last few years, I'd like to see an income type for performers under Contractors. It would also be useful if there is pay item to include GST (being that they are ABN contractors who could be registered for GST - I believe NZ has something along these lines).1 voteHi Natalie. Thanks for sharing your idea for a preconfigured contractor type for Performing Artists.
In regards to applying GST for contractors, this is actually an existing Product Idea. I've added your vote to it so we can keep you updated :)
On this idea, we will focus just on the Performing Artist contractor type.
It's now up to the community to let us know how an additional contractor type would improve their Xero experience.

Payroll NZ: Ability to generate Employee Information Report
The report can show a list of all current employees includes basic info e.g. DOB, Gender, employment start date, job title, Annual Salary Amount, fixed allowances, Super rate etc.; This report will be helpful for internal HR reporting purpose. Otherwise, HR will need to collect info piece by piece & summarize it manually.

Payroll AU: Process Negative RDO Units in Timesheets
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…
1 voteThanks 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.

AU Payroll - Include a comparison field in Payroll Reports
Payroll reports - it will be good to have a COMPARISION field on payroll reports just like the P&L - to compare with previous n number of months / periods.
While the grouping / summarizing features are good - they are limited to just reporting on a particular period.
Hence any Comparisions are tedious to run / export and consolidate on excel.
For. eg. I'd like to run a report to display :
Afternoon Shift Loading & Overtime work for a month OR the full FY with monthly columns.
Is this something we can get to without having to export…27 votesThanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in.

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.

Payroll AU > enter balance reducing deductions
It would be good to see deductions being set up for a fixed amount to deduct each pay until a total amount is reached with the option of paying the deduction to a third party bank account. Having to complete this manually and keep track is archaic!

UK Payroll - Percentage-Based Payroll Tracking for Multi-Funder Allocation
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…
1 voteHi 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.

UK Payroll - Tax code update emails
I wanted to set up email notifications when Xero receives a tax code change that it can't auto update.
As I am not logged in everyday I missed the effective dates of some employee tax code changes and then cannot effect the change on the correct date, as it doesn't back date far enough when manually changing the date.
I received a tax code change that Xero couldn't auto update 5 days, however I never saw the notification and now cannot back date the effective date to the correct date. I am unable to find where to have these pop…

AU Payroll - Notification when a pay run with a final pay is reverted
When a final pay is created the Annual Leave is automatically paid out. However, if that pay run is posted and then reverted to draft, the Annual Leave for that final pay gets zeroed without warning.
Not expecting or being aware of this behaviour from the software, an alert message should be given when reverting a pay run with a final pay included in it, so that the Annual Leave hours can be re-added to that employees pay, or the hours should not be zeroed at all.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea. Currently it's only possible to revert a pay run if it's the most recent and hasn't been filed. There is no notification when reverting a final pay.
