Hi team, we appreciate the interest here especially with upcoming Payday Super. I'd like to share that notifications and prompts are being developed with some of the changes we're working on, and achieve what's being asked here.
I'll round back when this is live and confirm what these look like to help in your processing of Superannuation here.

Xero Payroll should allow for reporting earnings and PAYGW for Contractors on Voluntary (PAYG) Agreements.
Filling out PAYG Payment Summaries is ridiculous.
While the ATO says reporting contractor payments is not mandatory, the ATO does say that we can choose to report contractor payments through STP: "If you do choose to report for these workers, you'll need to report both QE and super liability" See https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/payday-super/payday-super-resources/explaining-qualifying-earningsATO gives us a choice to report contractor earnings through STP. But Xero doesn't allow us to do so. Please give us the choice to report Contractors on Voluntary Agreements under Xero STP so we can have a one stop digital stop for all our accounting needs!
Please and thank you.

I am surprised this is not already a feature. What is the point of having the doclink function if they don't attach when you backup the workpapers?

I'm excited to share a major update that addresses this feedback directly. At Xerocon in September 2025, we announced a new strategic partnership with BGL, a leader in compliance and practice software. Together, we are building a new, deeply integrated Workpapers solution that will be embedded directly within Xero Practice Manager (XPM) and Xero Tax. This new solution is central to our compliance and practice tools roadmap and is designed to provide a seamless experience, leveraging BGL’s expertise in document management. We are pleased to confirm that the ability to add, rename, and reorder supporting documents is a key feature of this new BGL-powered Workpapers solution. This functionality is already available in BGL’s core product, which forms the foundation of our new offering. This means you'll soon have the flexibility to organize your documents as you work, without the frustrating workarounds you've mentioned.The new solution will also enable direct data…

Agree. Also, can we get daily super notifications if super is pending approval so that this can also be followed up. The person who sent for approval and the approver should receive daily notification is super is sitting as pending approval.
