As mentioned in my last update our immediate focus for now is delivering more automation and intelligent tools to help you reconcile faster.

Hi everyone, while not completely solved, we've made a recent addition to the client export which now allows you to export the Subscriber Email. This should help provide a better view and filter your clients subscriptions through the export file.

Thanks for your open feedback and sharing how we can improve these forums for you! It's crucial to us understanding how we can get better at communicating about product developments.
We wanted to give you an update on how we’re managing Xero Product Ideas, and our updates - In July last year we made a few changes that included new public statuses for ideas, and providing our customers more guidance on how to create a good idea.
We also now have our site "The Long and Short of It" which aims to keep users in the know of recent and upcoming changes, with filters to zone into updates that are most useful to you.
We're in a continuous process of interacting with product teams and updating ideas to provide more transparency of where we do and don't have development planned.
Our aim is to give a clearer…

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on automating leave provisions. Currently Xero does not automatically include leave liabilities on the Balance Sheet. Some of you have mentioned workarounds such as reviewing the Leave Balances Report and creating Manual Journals to include the liability in your reporting.
While we’re dedicated to streamlining payroll calculations, our product team confirmed this specific idea isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. We’ll be updating the status to Not in pipeline. The idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to monitor community interest.

Hi everyone 👋 we know managing and reviewing employee timesheets is a big part of your week. We’re working to make this easier for you in Xero Payroll.
We’re updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.
Join our early access program
We’d love your help to shape these improvements. We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program. You’ll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.
What you can expect:
- Easier admin tasks: Navigate your list and details views faster (this only impacts admins, so there’s no change for employees)
- Early access: Try these updates before they’re available to everyone
- Quick feedback: Help us fine-tune the final product by taking short surveys within the new screens
Help us build a…

Hi everyone, we’ve been following the conversation around how Xero calculates leave request hours for salaried employees. As you’ve mentioned, the current calculation based on the working days in a month isn't hitting the mark for everyone.
We understand some of you would prefer an alternative calculation method and are manually adjusting leave requests so they reflect the exact amount of hours in a day.
While this feature isn't currently on our roadmap, we see the logic in your request. We've shared this idea with the product team and moved it to Accepted. We’ll keep you posted right here if anything evolves.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. We agree that streamlining leave approvals would be a time saver. However, approving leave directly via email raises some security concerns. Allowing updates to sensitive payroll records without a secure login creates risks around unauthorised access.
While we do have upcoming improvements planned in the leave space, approving leave via email won't be part of those changes. Currently, approvers can easily review and approve leave requests on the go using the Xero Me app.
Thank you again for your input and understanding.

Thanks for the great discussion and all the votes on this idea. We know that without the ability to set specific leave approvers, it can be harder to keep governance clear, avoid self-approval and ensure requests go to the right person.
While we’re not planning to develop dedicated approval workflows in the near term, we want to share a tip that many have found useful. You can help streamline the process by guiding employees to select their direct manager from the approver list. While all payroll admins and leave approvers are listed, this step helps make sure requests reach the right person and keeps oversight clear.
Your feedback here is incredibly valuable for future planning and we’ll continue to keep an eye on this idea’s traction. We’ll keep it open for voting and will share any updates if plans change down the track.

Hi everyone, we really appreciate the sentiment and engagement on the idea of being able to forecast leave balances.
We know this feature could make planning ahead and managing leave approvals much easier, but at this stage it’s not something we’re planning to develop in the near term, so we’ll be moving it to 'Not in pipeline'.
We’ll continue to keep an eye on how this idea trends in the community and will leave it open for voting. If our plans change, we’ll share an update here.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! With Payday Super legislation now active, superannuation contributions align directly with regular pay runs. Because of this shift to real-time processing, quarterly due date reminders are no longer necessary.
To assist with compliance under the new legislation, we have added reminder prompts directly to the super payment page to highlight which accruals are at risk of being late.
As a result, we won't be moving forward with quarterly reminder updates for this request. We really appreciate everyone’s feedback on this topic, please continue to share your ideas on how we can keep improving your Xero experience!

Thanks for your feedback about setting working days for part-time employees, everyone.
We’re pleased to share that working patterns are now in development, with the first release planned for later this year.
You’ll be able to set a one-week work pattern for each employee, which will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run. For this first release, you’ll still need to update the employee’s pay template separately to reflect their standard working hours.
We plan to build on this by connecting working patterns with standard hours in the pay run and supporting a broader range of working patterns. We’ll share another update as the release gets closer.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having Xero generate a Superannuation guarantee charge statement. We appreciate you sharing how this could streamline late SGC reporting.
We’ve shared this idea with our Product Team who see value in developing this.
While this is not currently on our roadmap, we'll keep you posted if anything progresses.
In the meantime we’ll continue to gauge your support and feedback on this thread.

This would be fab!

Report for Superannuation Guarantee Statements (SGC) as required by the ATO.
We regularly are required to prepare SGC statements in excel for the ATO for late / missed super payments. The information is not available in a single report, and where there are large number of employees this report can take a long time to prepare.
It would be very useful, if we could have a report (see attached) exportable to excel to use to upload into the SGC statements required.
Thank you
