Include Statutory Sick Leave in the Leave Report
Currently, Statutory Sick Leave is not included in Xero’s leave reports, making it difficult to obtain a complete and accurate overview of employee leave. Including Statutory Sick Leave as a visible and selectable leave type within leave reports would allow businesses to track statutory absences alongside other leave types in one place. This enhancement would build on Xero’s existing reporting functionality, saving time, reducing the need to review individual employee records, and lowering the risk of errors because at present, this information can only be accessed by opening each employee’s individual Leave tab.

timesheets
Have an "Approve and Next" button for Timesheets, so that once you have approved a timesheet you don't have to click close and then click into the next persons timesheet, you would just click "Approve and Next" and it takes you to the next one. Saves time. Like when approving the Payslips, this option is there, but not in Timesheets.

Employees API Not Updating Timestamp
The Xero AU Payroll Employees API does not update or return the “last updated” timestamp when employee bank account or superannuation details are changed. Our HR system relies on this timestamp to detect updates, and without it, outdated data may overwrite correct information in Xero. This poses a risk of employee pay or super being sent to incorrect accounts.
Please review and update the API so these changes correctly trigger a timestamp update, ensuring accurate and reliable data sync between systems.

History in payroll should show app name, not user that authorised connection
If you use the API to modify a leave application (e.g. approve it), the history of the leave application shows that the modification was made by the user that authorised Xero into our App. Everywhere else in Xero the history shows the name of the App as the modifier (this is better as it may not have been that person that authorised).

Consistent UK payroll API experience as AU version
To add/update Employee, Leave, Timesheet data, we are supporting multiple records sync through a single API request in AU version.
But, in UK version, need to trigger separate APIs for every data sync. Can we support the same (bulk data sync) as in AU version?1 vote -
API requirement to update holiday group
Unable to sync leave records via API. Because, we must be update holiday group & work pattern in Xero manually, before syncing leave records. Is it possible to update those data via any APIs?

Retrieve Employee Information via Employee Number
Employees are typically assigned an employee number, but the system currently generates a GUID instead.
Since employees are unaware of their GUID, the only way to retrieve a specific record is by fetching all employees and filtering manually, which significantly impacts performance—especially for companies with a large workforce.
Our goal is to allow employees to enter their employee number via our mobile app to verify their employment. This number is familiar to them, unlike the system-generated GUID

Expose an API for the Existing Manual Pay Advance Process
Xero already offers a manual Pay Advance process, but this functionality is not exposed via API.
This feature is essential for our application, enabling employees in urgent financial situations (e.g., requiring funds for car repairs before payday) to apply for a pay advance through our app.
Once an employee submits a request, we intend to create the Pay Advance entry directly in Xero Payroll. Given the potential volume of requests, a manual approach is not viable.
Since this functionality already exists in Xero Payroll, exposing it via API should be straightforward and would significantly improve efficiency.

Issue with Leave API Removing Other Earnings Line Items from Payslip
When we use the API to post Leave entries from our application, other earnings line items in the payslip are being removed.
This issue occurs specifically when the Leave falls within the same fortnightly pay period after the payslip has been created for the employee.
Example:
An employee has the following earnings on their payslip:
- Ordinary Hours
- Overtime Hours
- BonusAfter we send the Leave entry via the API, the Overtime Hours and/or Bonus earnings line items are removed from the payslip, leaving only the Ordinary Hours.
This behavior seems unintended, as adding a Leave entry should…

Maintain Request LeaveApplicationID when Leave Approved
Currently within the API a leave application's LeaveApplicationID changes when the leave request transitions to the scheduled state. There should be the ability within the API to reference the original LeaveApplicationID for traceability.
Use Case: enable external systems attempting to track information relating to leave requests to be able to identify the lifecycle of a leave request without having to match start / end dates and employee separately

Get PayRuns endpoint is not effective
If a user has more than 200 pay runs, I need to retrieve the first page initially of https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/payrolluk/payruns#get-payruns endpoint, then it will provide the number of items in response and then I need to retrieve the following pages with pay runs that I need to process.
More paid pay runs means more call to Xero, so it can be a problem on production env in a few weeks/years.It makes sense to add additional request parameters to filter not needed pay runs. For instance, posted date, then I can retrieve items only for the last week.
Best practices of…

Add the ability to upload docs to the Employee Note section
The note tab on each employee file can be enhanced with the ability to add files such as their work contract/s or ID, perhaps even workings related to holidays or payment plans agreed upon, etc. Having the ability to upload can provide the opportunity to load signed agreements which is more important than a "note". The option to make a note visable or not could be useful to employee/employer too.

Payroll API
I am trying to link employees to their tracking category however the New Zealand Payroll Api doesn’t appear to expose any way to do this.
Currently the Australian payroll Api supports this functionality exposing the ‘EmployeeGroupName’ on each employee
Endpoint - https://api.xero.com/payroll.xro/1.0/employees
Field - EmployeeGroupName": {
"description": "The Employee Group allows you to report on payroll expenses and liabilities for each group of employees", "type": "string", "example": "marketing"}
Is there a way to make this type of connection with the NZ Payroll API?

Expose Employment / Employee Group information
There is no way to determine which employee group an Employee is a member of, or what their default pay is (NZ/UK)
Could it please be added to the Employee or Employment endpoints along with the Hours/Rate/Salary info for NZ/UK Employment? Add/update would be great too.
Thanks

Delete Statutory Sick via API
At the moment it's possible to create Statutory Sick records via the API, but not possible to delete them. We're trying to integrate our product with Xero, but we need to be able to delete sick entries if they've been added mistakenly.

Filter UK timesheets by date
Unfortunately, UK timesheets API doesn't support filtering by date. That means in order to update a timesheet the client needs to page through every single timesheet in history! It's completely unworkable.
Please add timesheet filter by date!

Enable variable custom deductions against employees outside of payrun being initiated
Would like the ability to put variable/custom deductions against each employee without first initiating a payrun. Each deduction added will be included in the next payrun. This is different to a fixed deduction amount that can be created within the pay template. This new feature will also enable payroll to place deductions against employees without waiting for a payrun to start.
Presently we'd need to PUT a deduction to pay template > post payrun > delete payitem in template > PUT new deduction amount (repeat this process every pay cycle).

Filters and sorting on Payroll Uk API's
Hi,
I am working for one of my UK based client to integrate Payroll API's where I need to fetch data with my own sorting/ordering like the data can sort by first/last name, startDate, ect. Same I need for the filter. I know you allow some filters like by first/last name but here I need a custom filter which allow me to fetch data between two startDates.
And also I am looking for to get the payrun data with the help of "payrollCalendarID" something like
