  2. UK Api - Missing GET-method for the Employment-api-endpoint

    Hello,
    We are working on a UK integration to your endpoint (version 2.0), and we noticed that you only allow a POST-method for your Employment-endpoint.

    We would need you to introduce a GET-method as we need to access the NationalInsuranceCategory-property.
    I imagine you just forgot to implement a get-method for it?
    Thanks
    Thank you!

    Kind regards Anders

  4. 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

  7. Start and End Times for Timesheets API

    Allow timesheet API post start and end times for timesheets. This is possible via the Xero app, but not via the API and we have a number of users wanting to load the data in this way rather than being limited to the number of hours.

  9. AU Payroll Report API

    In the Xero UI, under Accounting > Reports > Payroll > Superannuation Accruals/Payments sections, I can run reports for super contributions but this information is not available via any of the Xero APIs. There must be an underlying API call to retrieve this information and display this report in the UI - it would be good to have the same information available as an API.

  10. 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
    https://api.xero.com/payroll.xro/2.0/payRuns?payrollCalendarID={payrollCalendarID}

  11. Allow Net Pay to be nullable

    Please allow for the net pay attribute to be nullable, as Xero calculates net pay within the payslip. If net pay is null, don't generate a validation warning that the calculated net pay is different from the provided net pay.

  14. Pay Items endpoint returns Inactive items and no Status

    There is no way of telling is a pay item is inactive in the current API, meaning when you retrieve one and try and use it with the API somewhere later it fails. If you can make something inactive in Xero, the API should really provide this info.

    Adding the status field (or returning only active ones) would make this better.

  17. licence issues - max 10 - we are not exceeding the maximum and yet xero wants us to upgrade

    We only have 10 people over the pay period and yet xero doesn't recognise this - because they are in the same period and one is replacing the other xero wants us to upgrade the licence. Yet we only have 10 employees, but are paying 11 in the same period. Xero is not recognising dates and should be able to recognise a replacement employee.

  18. Employee should be able to write a description of their day in their timesheets

    Instead of the basic rate or overtime rate box, it would be helpful to have a breakdown of their day. Where they've been and how long for.

  19. EarningTypeId

    There is a confusing discrepancy in fields naming. If I want to post a new employee, then I should set SalaryAndWage which requires EarningsTypeID field. It can be retrieved from PayItems resource by the name of EarningsRateID, RATE id - not TYPE id.
