Hi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback. To be upfront, we do not have any planned work to change how non-reportable allowances are processed at this stage. Currently, you need to use a reimbursement pay item to process these allowances. Our product team has confirmed that this remains a compliant solution with the ATO.
However, we hear you. We know that relying on reimbursements involves workflow challenges. While it's not on our immediate roadmap, we will continue to monitor your feedback and will update this thread if anything changes.

Hi team, knowing that managing and reviewing timesheets is a big part of your work, we're working to make this easier for you in Xero Payroll.
We’re updating the timesheet admin experience, including a new timesheet list and a redesigned details view to help you find what you need faster.
We’d love your help to shape these improvements. We’re looking for customers who manage or approve employee timesheets to join an early access program. You’ll try the new interface and give feedback directly to our team.
If you'd like to help us build a better experience 📝 fill in our recruitment survey.
It only takes a few minutes, and we’ll be in touch soon with next steps. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for sharing your idea about including the pay period in payroll reports downloaded from posted pay runs. Agree, it makes sense for the pay period to be shown rather than the payment date ("For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025").

Hi there, thanks for submitting this idea!
What you’re after is partly achievable in Xero Payroll today. You can add these qualifications and details directly into the employee’s Notes section. We're also currently working on allowing files to be uploaded into employee records, which will help you keep a complete record of this information.
While there are currently no plans to add a specific Qualification status or expiry reminder feature, we appreciate you sharing your workflow.

Thanks for sharing your feedback about a dedicated Xero Payroll app! As you're aware the Xero mobile app is a companion to the main Xero web platform. It allows you to monitor finances on the go like creating invoices, and reconciling transactions. Because it is a companion app, it doesn't include all of Xero's web features such as payroll.
We appreciate your feedback, and we agree that having a fully dedicated Xero Payroll app could be incredibly useful for managing your team on the move.
It's now up to the community to get behind and support this. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too.

Hi Kim, Thanks for sharing this idea. There are a number of changes coming to Xero as part of the Payday Super updates ahead of 1 July 2026, and we’re also aware the ATO is currently building a Member Verification Request (MVR) system as part of the broader industry changes.
Feedback like this is really helpful as these changes continue to develop. If this is something that would make a difference for your business, we’d also encourage you to share the idea with your colleagues so they can add their support and feedback on the Product Ideas page.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help.

Thanks for sharing your idea about limiting which pay items from the Pay Template appear in timesheets.
Regarding adding other units for allowances to timesheets, I'd suggest heading over and showing some support these existing ideas:
- AU Payroll | Timesheet - Ability to add allowances of other unit types
- Xero Me - Add Unit option to Timesheets

Thanks for sharing your idea about the payment date of unscheduled pay runs. If you're making a correction to a old pay run, in most situations you'll want the payment date to match that of the pay run you're making corrections for. However understand this is not always the case.

Thanks for sharing your idea about having a defined report showing you payable child support amounts. As you're aware you'd currently need to audit the specific account code to see what's been reconciled previously.

At this stage, we don't have plans to make Emergency Contacts a required field during Self-Onboarding. However, we're continuously looking to learn more about how our customers use Self-Onboarding.
If this is a feature you'd like to see, please cast your vote and share this page with colleagues who might find it helpful! Additional comments detailing how Self-Onboarding can improve your daily admin are always appreciated.

Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback and adding your support to this idea.
Having a clear history trail for edits and approvals in timesheets is valuable for managing payroll accuracy. This is something our product team is aware of, and while it isn’t on our current roadmap, it is something we want to look at in the future.
We appreciate you keeping this top of mind for us. We'll continue to track community votes and comments on this thread and will update you here as soon as anything changes.

Hey everyone! Thanks for supporting the idea of getting greater visibility into your super payment tracking.
With the ATO's PayDay Super changes rolling out in July 2026, superannuation is firmly on our product team's roadmap. Keep an eye out for updates from the payroll team in the coming months!

I appreciate that the reimbursement method is ATO-compliant, but compliance is not the issue. Efficiency is.
This process adds hours to our payroll workload every week. A compliant workaround should not be considered an adequate long-term solution when it creates significant unnecessary administration for users.
Surely Xero should be aiming for compliant and efficient payroll processing, rather than asking customers to absorb the additional workload indefinitely.
