Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on automating leave provisions. Currently Xero does not automatically include leave liabilities on the Balance Sheet. Some of you have mentioned workarounds such as reviewing the Leave Balances Report and creating Manual Journals to include the liability in your reporting.
While we’re dedicated to streamlining payroll calculations, our product team confirmed this specific idea isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. We’ll be updating the status to Not in pipeline. The idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to monitor community interest.

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.

I would like to suggest adding an “Attach Files” feature within the employee profile section in Xero Payroll.
Currently, there is no centralised place within each employee’s record to upload and store key employment documents. It would be extremely helpful if we could attach files such as:
Tax File Number (TFN) Declaration forms
Superannuation Standard Choice Forms
Employment contracts
Identification documents
Other onboarding documentation
Having these documents stored directly within the employee profile would improve record-keeping, compliance, and audit readiness. It would also reduce the need to maintain separate document management systems for payroll-related files.

Automatic Provisions for Employee Entitlements
It would be highly beneficial if Xero could automatically generate accounting provisions for employee entitlements such as:
Annual leave
Personal/carer’s leave
Long service leave
Based on the payroll accruals already calculated within the system, Xero could automatically post monthly journals to recognise the provision expense and liability in the general ledger.
Currently, many businesses must calculate and post these provisions manually, which increases the risk of errors and inconsistencies. Automating this process would significantly improve accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with accounting standards.
