    Hi everyone, appreciate the feedback on the idea here. Being open we don't have any immediate work planned for this.

    However, I also wanted to highlight with differing needs and regulation our payroll products are developed separately for region specifically. We try to keep the ideas regionally separated in community here as it helps when feeding back to the team and also in keeping customers updated.

    That said we have a separate idea for this similar feature in AU Payroll and I've added any voters from AU to that idea to keep updated there.

    Hi everyone, thanks for providing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important a CSV payment file is, as some banks don't accept the BACS file.

    You might have seen from a related idea that our product team is currently testing a new feature to allow direct wage payments from Xero payroll.

    While this is not exactly what you’re suggesting, an integrated payment feature would defeat the need for manual payment file exports. We'll be back to share more updates on this.

    Hi everyone👋, thanks for the idea and support here. To be open and upfront we don’t have any plans in the near term to expand this functionality.

    Right now, you can create an additional Employer Pensions pay item and add it to the employee's Pay Template. When the pay run is processed you'll be able to enter in the difference due, to ensure the total contributions equals the required value. If anything changes in this space, we’ll update you on this idea.

    This needs to be the case for the first 39 weeks of maternity leave. Employer pension contribution remains a percentage of pre-leave salary not actual earnings. This really should be calculated as per UK law by Xero, not left for every business to know as it is quite an obscure piece of legislation.
