Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on flexible pay periods. We appreciate you explaining how important this is, especially for those running 4-4-5 week structures.
The product team have reviewed this idea and, after looking into what would be involved, have confirmed it isn’t something we’re planning to add to Payroll in the foreseeable future.
We’ve updated the status to Not in pipeline. While we’re not moving ahead with this work, your feedback is still really valuable and helps us understand the different ways you’re running payroll in your business.

We also have the same problem and reported this months ago. I always have to provide a note on staff payslips of the actual pay period in case they are needed at banks for employees to obtain personal loans. It would be great if this could be sorted out ASAP and then I would be more confident in using the timesheets feature of Xero.

AU - having the same problem. It needs to be more flexible to allow variations as all industries are different. I know Xero method is keeping it simple, but not all business models fit into the set standards. Having the same issue as previously highlighted. Our employees are paid on the last thursday of the month and nothing in xero can accomodate this.

Hi team, we highly value all the feedback we've received through this request, and understand wanting more functionality to manage communications with suppliers directly through Xero.
As you may have read on our blog, we're redesigning the purchase orders experience, and our product teams have paid close attention to ideas for purchase orders in these forums.
I'm pleased to share that being able to include file attachments when sending purchase orders is being developed into this new experience. I'll update again as this feature rolls out to customers. 😊

Heya team, thanks for all your input here. We hear you, and understand that being able to assign multiple tracking categories to pay items would improve your reporting capabilities, and simplify tracking costs for various projects, locations, or departments.
For now, we’d suggest using manual journals to split and reallocate payroll costs after a pay run. Alternatively as some have shared, you could create specific pay items for each tracking category combination, although we recognise this may not be suitable for all.
While this isn’t in our plans at this stage we understand the rationale here and will consider how tracking works within payroll closely as we continue to develop our roadmap.
If there are any changes or news for tracking in payroll we’ll be sure to update you of this here.

Would be geat to be able to add an additional employee group in tracking categories. I currently have 2 tracking categories one being for enterprise and the second being for property. It would be handy to be able to allocate to both trackers as when we go to do a budgets in xero and we select the enterprise and then the property, the payroll does not allocate to the report as payroll only allocates to one level of the tracking and not both.
This also relates to all reports in Xero. I do not want to add manual journals to fix this error, as similar to the above, it is time consuming and then I have to reconcile to make sure I have allocated it all correctly.

I would like to use Xero timesheets for our staff, but I cannot create a personalised payroll period that would roll into the timesheet feature. I am spending alot of time inputing data into an excel summary and then into Xero. It would save me alot of time and enable me to manage the payroll system so much better without errors when different types of leave is taken. Staff could apply for leave on the timesheet app from there phone. But until the payroll dates could be customised, this is not achievable.

We need this feature too. Our pay period does not met the criteria's set up in Xero. We need a manual date system so we can accurately record the hours for the pay dates our award requires. Example we pay wages on last thursday of the month. Some months this is a four week month or a five week month. I need to have it record wages accurately for the period we pay.

Hey team 😊 happy to come back to share that this work is now underway with our product team as they begin development for managing files within Xero Payroll.
We really value the feedback we've received from you all in this idea, which has helped inform our teams approach to developing a solution that will fit majority of needs.
I'll return to share as we get nearer to release with more information on what this looks like including where and how you'll be able to attach files in Payroll.

Would be great to add reimbursement documents to employee payslips and further details when needed. Please make this update ASAP

We have employees who get paid 12 x per year with either a 4 week or 5 week pay period, being paid on the last thursday of the month. At present, Xero doesn't give this option to change a pay period within payroll calendars.
This adjustment would also assist with the use of the xero timesheets as our pay period does not match the "standard payroll" dates and will confuse staff - we currently rely on staff submitting paper timesheets and manual processing. I am also adding a note at the bottom of the "monthly" timesheet highlighting the Actual Pay Period.
I would also like to look further into using the other payroll features like converting hours to time in lieu and have our staff apply for leave on the Xero Me app, but when our payroll dates do not align with the standard dates, it creates processing issues.
If anyone can recommend another payroll program that allows flexibility, it would be appreciated.
