Hi community, thanks for the strong support in being able to attach files within Xero Payroll, both for employee records and pay runs. We really appreciate you sharing the value and efficiency this could create for you when working with Xero. It's evident that being able to store important documents like licenses, sick notes, and onboarding papers directly in Xero would remove the need for external storing systems or manual processes.
We acknowledge it's not the end goal but wanted to highlight the use of apps, as some have shared like Dext, to help bridge this gap in the meantime.
I want to assure you that enabling attachments in payroll is part of our long-term intentions. However, to deliver this functionality effectively and reliably, we first need to develop some foundational elements within our payroll platform.
We understand your frustration with the timeline and the limited updates, and we're…

Hi community, thanks for all your discussion and votes on this idea. We can see the appetite in being able to project future leave balances in AU Payroll. We understand that you're looking for an easier way to see an employee's accrued leave for a future date, which would make planning for things like company shutdowns and approving leave requests simpler.
Our product team has taken a look at this suggestion, however building this functionality isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. For that reason, we'll be changing the status of this idea to ‘Not in Pipeline’. The idea will remain open for votes, so we can continue to gauge interest when we next review our priorities for payroll.
As some have shared - exporting and combining reports outside of Xero is one way to get the information you need, although we understand its not the solution you'd like here.
We really…

Appreciate the interest through the idea, but want to be open that we don't have any development planned for adding reminders or notification of an employees birth date atm.
I see there are some supporters from NZ and UK in the idea here and wanted to point you across to these specific ideas for each region that I'd encourage adding your support for - Each version of Xero Payroll has been developed specifically for the that regions tax and reporting obligations and this would need to be developed for each version separately. Thanks

Hi everyone, appreciate we haven't engaged directly in this idea sooner and reading through the detail of the original post here we do want to break this down a little to provide more clarity.
It's correct that currently it's not possible to enter a number of hours leave if the request spans more than a day. We have another idea that's gathering support around this and we'd urge those interested in this to join.
Similarly, we have another idea based around the permission to approve or decline leave request and provide read-only access to Payroll reports that you can support, here.
Understanding the importance around being able to see history of events in payroll, you may have noticed we've rolled out payroll history to the employee record-level and most recently you can now see a history of user activity in the Organisation, Calendars, Pay Items, Superannuation & STP Settings…

Hi everyone, we're looking into this idea as part of research our teams are doing on managing employees, particularly looking at our customer's experiences onboarding new hires and setting them up in payroll.
Knowing the interest from our community in this here, we wanted to share an opportunity to get involved.
If you'd be willing to take part, our teams will be scheduling sessions which will be about 60 minutes via video call.
You can share your interest by taking a few minutes to fill in this form ✍️ - We really appreciate your time.
Thanks, and I'll make sure to share any outcomes from this discovery back with you all here.

Thanks for all your discussion and support on this idea.
Looking ahead, we want to be upfront about our plans. We're currently focusing our development efforts on other areas within payroll, so building dedicated approval workflows isn't on the roadmap at this time.
It's a good opportunity to share a tip for managing leave approvals that many of you have found helpful - As noted by others, you can streamline the approval process by guiding your employees to select their direct manager from the list. While all payroll admins and leave approvers are listed, this step ensures the request goes to the right person every time and helps you maintain clear oversight.
We understand this isn't the news you're hoping here, and your feedback is incredibly valuable for future planning. We'll update you if this gets picked up in the future.

We definitely require this function. We have multiple teams and team leaders and we need to be able to specify the leave 'approver' for each employee.

Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I’m pleased to let you know that this has been delivered for UK Payroll initially! It includes the ability to select the date range you’re interested in, and check boxes to either select all results or multiple. Then you can download your selection as a single PDF of multiple payslips.
For users in AU and NZ we know this is a highly anticipated feature, however to be open this is not any immediate plans for those teams so we’ll leave this idea open. While we appreciate it doesn’t help employers needing bulk downloads, employees can be invited into the Xero Me portal to self-serve payslip collection.

We use time clocks that need to be saved as evidence of pay. At the moment I'm required to save on our network. It's essential that we can upload various important documents accordingly.
