UK Payroll - Easily view which employees don't have a Timesheet in a pay period
Timesheets - In the old timesheet menu we were able to select which payroll the timesheets related to so I could ensure all timesheets have been completed and see who had not even created a timesheet yet. I have been unable to do this in the new experience. Is this something that will be brought in the filter option please.
3 votesHi Samantha. Thanks for letting us know the features of Xero that matter most for you.
We can see how gaining an overview of the timesheets completed and not completed can streamline payroll processes, so have moved your idea to Gaining Support. It's now up to the community to get behind it.

Payroll AU: Display the Full Pay Period in a Pay Run
Feature Suggestion: Display the Full Pay Period in Payroll
It would be extremely helpful if Xero could display the full pay period (From DD/MM/YY to DD/MM/YY) within the payroll pay window, rather than only showing the "Week Ending" date.
For example, instead of displaying:
Week Ending 05/07/2026
display:
Pay Period: Wednesday 29/06/2026 to Tuesday 05/07/2026
or
29/06/2026 – 05/07/2026I process payroll for multiple entities with different pay cycles and pay periods. Having the start and end dates clearly visible would make it much easier to confirm that the correct pay run is being processed, reduce the risk of errors,…

AU Payroll - More calculation methods for Superannuation
The pay template offers 3 options for calculating super SG rate, Fixed Amount or Percentage of Earnings. We would like to request an additional to allow a number of Units x A fixed amount.
This is particularly important for industries like transport where super is paid based on a trip rate.1 voteThanks for sharing your idea on adding a Per Unit calculation method for SGC.

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.

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!

Expenses - Location label
Colleagues regularly attend client sites on a rota, so it would be extremely useful to have the ability to label saved locations (e.g. Client/Site) and allow colleagues to select these when recording their location.
This would save significant time for colleagues, as they would no longer need to repeatedly look up client postcodes within ‘Contacts’. It would also make the information much easier and quicker for the admin team to audit and verify.
1 voteThanks for bringing this idea to us and letting us know how useful it would be for teams who regularly visit client sites to save locations with meaningful labels, such as the client or site name, and select them directly when recording expenses⭐ This idea is now open for votes and comments, so other users can share how this would support their workflows and add their support. We’ll start to get a gauge of the support for this from your idea, here. Feel free to share the idea with colleagues who’d also like to see this so they can add their support too.

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
7 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…

Payroll AU: Add Pay run (PD) Identifier to Payroll Activity Details report
There's currently no way to display the Payroll Expense Journal identifier (such as PD-47) within the Payroll Activity Details report. This is a limitation of Xero's current reporting functionality.
When a pay run is posted, Xero creates a single general ledger journal titled Payroll Expense Journal - PD-[number]. The PD reference corresponds directly to the pay run number and payment date shown at the top of the Payroll Activity Details report for that period. This is the ONLY UNIQUE LINKING KEY between the general ledger and the employee-level detail in Payroll.
Many NFP's need to be able to report on…

Xero Expenses - Add custom fields for SARS
EXPENCE MODULE - TRAVEL - NOT TAX (SARS) COMPLIANT
Xero Expenses currently captures the following for mileage claims: date, distance, and a description. This is wholly inadequate for South African tax compliance and exposes every South African business using Xero Expenses for travel reimbursement to material tax risk.

AU Payroll - Apply time tracking to the draft pay run rather than timesheet.
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.

US payroll - Confirmation email when payroll submitted
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.
1 voteThanks for sharing this suggestion, Kc. We understand the request for an automated email confirmation when payroll is successfully submitted. Having a confirmation in your inbox could make it easier to keep a record of the submission without needing to log back into Xero to check the status.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your payroll workflow, add your vote and let us know what information you’d want included in the confirmation email.

NZ - Payroll - Annual Leave entitlements
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.

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…
2 votesThanks 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.

NZ Payroll - Auto accrual for additional leave from salary sacrifice
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.3 votesHi Tim thanks for letting us know how auto accrual for additional leave would assist your business.

UK Payroll - Previous Payroll ID field to be optional or opt-out clearer
Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID. Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could…

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…
11 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.

AU Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
