Hi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your engagement with this idea. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on being able to claim previous year's employment allowances in Xero.
We understand this would save time and provide a more complete payroll solution.
As noted by others in this thread, the current workaround is to process prior year claims using HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools.
We've reviewed our upcoming development roadmap, and at this time building the functionality to process prior year Employment Allowance claims is not in our immediate pipeline.
We will keep this idea under consideration for future development, and should our plans change, we will provide an update here.

I registered a client for PAYE and whilst awaiting the PAYE reference numbers set up and processed payroll just as I would normally do. The RTI filings obviously were rejected. However I would have expected to have gone on and resubmit these filings once the PAYE reference numbers were received. Unfortunately HMRC are taking longer to provide the numbers, and when I did get them, I discovered that the 2 months' payrolls that were processed on Xero Payroll will now need to be done on Basic Tools. Really, Xero? At times I do wonder why I just don't use Basic Tools rather than Xero Payroll as 'do it on Basic Tools' seems to be the stock answer these days from Xero.
I remember back in the early days of Xero Payroll I summed up the payroll offering as Basic Tools with a payslip. I think Basic Tools is now more advanced that Xero Payroll!

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you explaining how important access to reports on draft pay runs is for your workflows, especially for client approvals and pre-submission checks.
Our product team is currently looking into payroll reporting improvements as part of a wider review, however adding additional reports to draft pay runs is not something that’s on their foreseeable roadmap.
Currently you can download payslips, P32 and Payroll Activity Details/Summary reports from draft pay runs. These provide a breakdown of employee earnings and employer liabilities, which can be used for pre-checks before submitting your pay run to HMRC.
Please continue to support other ideas, as this helps our product teams know what's important to you.

UK Payroll: Pre-posting report required in the same format as the Gross to Net report. As there is now an issue with amending a payroll after you've posted it, but before pay day, this report is now essential as many of us send payroll reports to clients for authorisation or perhaps employees spot an error on their pay and want it fixed in time for pay day. When resubmitting an FPS prior to payday, this might cause duplicate files. If that's the case then we need a similar report to the Gross to Net but in pre-post mode.

"We recommend that you keep your pay run in draft until the payment date and you’ve finalised all your payroll details.
This is because HMRC are aware of issues with duplications if pay runs are reverted before the payment date of the pay run has passed."
Well, who knew?! With this in mind, the gross to net report can only be produced after posting the payroll. But if, like me, you want to send clients a copy of the gross to net so that they can make payments on or before pay day, it looks as though this is NOT recommended by Xero. Yet no other report is available in a decent layout. Come on, Xero, get this issue fixed. Other software providers don't seem to have any problems!

Hi Community! Thanks for your active and on-going participation in this idea. The volume of comments and votes highlights how important more granular user permissions are for managing your payroll processes effectively.
Improving user permissions and providing greater control over sensitive data is a key area of focus for us. While we have no specific feature to announce today, your feedback is critical in shaping the future of this part of Xero.
Because of the clear need you've all highlighted and our desire to investigate this further, we're moving this idea's status to In Discovery.
During the discovery phase, our product team will be digging deeper into the core problems you’ve raised.
We appreciate your patience as we explore this. We'll be sure to update this thread when we have more to share. Thank you again for helping us understand what matters most to you.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing how important automated holiday pay calculations are for you.
We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted to show it's formally on our radar.
While we’ve already explored several options to automate holiday pay calculations, for the time being this is not a feature we have planned in our roadmap.
We understand some of you are managing these calculations manually. We’d suggest running the Payroll Activity Summary or Gross to Net report over a 52 week period to assist with these calculations.
We’re grateful for your feedback and will continue to monitor interest here.

Thanks for the feedback on having a pension file format compatible with NOW: Pensions. Currently, Xero allows you to export a CSV file in the standard PAPDIS format.
To help your idea gain traction, please share it with colleagues so they can vote for it too. The comments section is also open for all members to share how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having Xero automatically calculate AEO & DEA as a percentage. We appreciate you sharing how you're currently managing these deductions in payroll.
As you’ve found, the existing Earnings Order pay item requires deductions to be manually calculated, which we understand impacts your workflows for employees with variable earnings.
We want to be upfront that there aren't any current plans to develop this in Xero payroll.
While automated calculations for Earnings Orders aren't on the foreseeable roadmap, we will continue to monitor interest in this space. Thanks for continuing to shape the future of Xero.

Also, could it be possible to adjust the earnings arrestment figure whilst in a Draft payrun without having to enter all of the payroll data, manually calculate the earnings arrestment deduction figure, go back to Employee Pay Template, update the template with the amount to be deducted, go back to Draft Payrun, reset the payslip, add all of the previously entered data again?

Hi team, we'd like to share another update as work for allowing direct wage payments via open banking with Crezco is well underway.
We look forward to updating everyone on this idea as soon as this is released.
As previously mentioned - we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for extending the payment file export format to CSV, however direct payments will eliminate the need for a manual export saving you a few steps in this process. 🙂

RBS require an identifier for each person on the file and Xero doesn't support this.
This new feature introduced by Xero is not helpful - now when looking at payslips, we don't know what the other earnings are, and have to run other reports to get the information.... but employees can't run those reports, so they are completely in the dark!!
