Hey everyone, we appreciate a lot of recent activity and trend in this idea especially with Pay Day Super coming.
As mentioned in my last updated this is an idea our product teams are keeping a close pulse on and we want you to know this is high on our agenda, likely to be picked up later this year.
While we can't provide any commitments as yet, we'll share another update here as soon as there's progress.

This will be critical in Australia once the 'Payday Super' legislation comes into effect on 1 July 2026 as we will have to process super with each pay run. Having only one approver will cause a lot of problems if the approver is away, not to mention potential fines for late payment . We cant even manage/change the super approver ourselves as we have to go through our subscriber who is an external accounting firm.

Hi Tayla. Thanks for sharing your idea for alternative methods to approve auto super batch payments.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
In the meantime, both the current auto super approver and also the subscriber can change the auto super approver details, so if there is another user who could approve superannuation batches, this maybe a workaround if the current super approver is unable to.

With payday super being introduced on 1 July 2026, the super approval process needs to be more flexible with more ways to approve

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.

I agree. Where employees are salaried and paid for the same number of hours each month, we should be able to set their leave rate to match their hours, i.e. employee is paid for 7.6 hours per day so one day of leave should be 7.6 hours. If an employee is part time 5 hours a day, we should be able to set their daily leave rate at 5 hours a day. Payroll admins have to waste time checking and updating leave to the correct amounts

Thanks for sharing your idea for alternative methods to approve auto super batch payments.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
In the meantime, Auto super payments must be approved using the authorisation code sent via SMS.
If needed, both the current approver and subscriber can update the approval details in the event the current approver is not available.

I agree. The approval process is an issue when the approver is on leave or travelling. Given that from 1 July 2026 super payments will need to be processed with each pay run, there needs to be an easier way of approving the super payments. If Xero allowed more than one super approver on the account, this would solve the problem.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your feedback on displaying leave balances in days on payslips. We recognise that many of you are keen to see this feature.
Our product team has reviewed this suggestion. While we understand the value it'd bring, it isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. As a result, we're updating the status of this idea to 'Not in Pipeline'.
We're keeping this idea open for votes to help us gauge its popularity when we next review our payroll priorities. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.🙂

This is really not good enough. Payday super starts 1 July this year and was announced in 2024. Businesses have been crying out for this for years. Xero has had more than enough time to address this but it appears that redesigning the dashboard was more important.
