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 there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. Many payroll reports include employee group filtering. It's useful to note that employee ID is a piece of information that Xero captures in STP filings, however it's not used in payroll reports. This specific idea isn't something we have plans for in the near term for payroll reports, but if it's still highly valuable to you, you're welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest

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.

Hey everyone! It's been insightful reading through your comments on filtering payroll reports by both first and last name.
Our product team have reviewed this idea and agree it's an idea they would like to develop, but it isn't currently on the roadmap.
In the meantime, as mentioned by some of you you'll need to export the data to work with outside of Xero. We understand this may be an extra step and appreciate this feature could improve efficiency for a variety of situations.
We'll keep you updated as things progress. Your continued input helps us understand the priority and impact of features like this one.

Hey everyone 👋 Thanks so much for all the detailed feedback on applying work patterns for part-time employees. We’ve been following the conversation and understand that manually adjusting pay runs for pro-rata entitlements can be a real challenge. It’s clear that having this automated could save time and give you greater peace of mind.
I’m pleased to let you know our product team has reviewed this idea and we’re updating the status to ‘Accepted’. This means that while it’s not on our immediate roadmap, it’s something we see real value in and want to bring into Xero when we can prioritise the work.
In the meantime, the workarounds shared here, like manually adjusting hours in each pay run, remain the best approach. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, as your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping Xero. We’ll keep you updated on any developments…

Hi everyone, we'd like to return with an update for all who've supported the idea for attaching files within Payroll.
As we develop foundations of payroll to enable us to consider new features like this, we're beginning discovery of how we might build this capability and when this could be planned in our roadmap.
This is just the initial stages of diving deeper into this work, but steering in the right direction.
I'll be sure to share any progression around attachments within payroll with you all, here.

This would have been an excellent feature. MYOB as employee onboarding. why can't Xero has similar feature. Also ability to set reminder for employee such as their anniversary etc would be another great feature to have.

Thanks for sharing your interest in single sign on across Xero's products. This is available currently across many areas or Xero. For example if you are logged in and working in Xero, then move across to Xero Central(our support hub) you may need to click the login button in the top right of the screen but if you're session hasn't ended you should find the page should refresh and automatically log you in.
We appreciate wanting a smoother login experience that's recognised across all Xero products and will share if there are any improvements planned around this with you all, here.

Thanks for your engagement with this idea to allow setting specific working days for part-time employees in AU Payroll. We understand wanting to handle these common working arrangements smoothly and accurately.
We know this is a key area for improvement and we'd like to look into this deeper in the long term, however it’s not in our roadmap just yet.
Right now you'll need to manually adjust leave requests.
We'll be sure to provide another update as we move forward with our investigations.

AU Payroll. Would be good to have an ability to set one organisation daily hour work. Our full day work is 7 hours. Also set our yearly hours so that the annual salary will be calculating correctly.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on adding employee numbers to employee records.
Currently Xero uses unique identifiers for employees which are included in STP files sent to the ATO, however there’s currently no ability to add employee numbers to employment records.
After reviewing with our product team, this feature isn't currently on our roadmap so we'll update the status to 'Not in Pipeline'. As an alternative, payroll admins can use the Notes section or adapt an existing field in the employees record to assist with identifying employees.
Whilst we understand this may not be the outcome you’d hoped for, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback to help shape Xero.

I thought Employee ID is part of the mandatory field for STP2. but for Xero to auto assign is not ideal.

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback and votes on adding birthday notifications to Australian payroll - we understand how this could help with team celebrations and managing age-based award rate compliance.
After reviewing with our product team, this feature isn't currently on our roadmap, and we'll update the status to 'Not in Pipeline'. Right now, setting up an external calendar could help you track these important dates.
We appreciate you all taking the time to share your feedback with us, and will continue to watch the traction this idea receives through Votes. If there is any change, we will share an update here.

This feature is very critical for our award as our employees move grade on their nominate anniversary

This is super important when you have more than 30 or 40 employees. It is much easier to sort by surname than first name. or have an option to choose either one.
