Where a client has been running his or her payroll, for me the Year-to-date Payroll Summary by Employee report is the most useful in making sure that nothing silly is going on:
1. Ensuring the director employees are on the right salary levels and have been correctly set up as directors not employees.
2. Sense checking the NI and tax paid by each employee to make sure nothing silly is happening with codings.
3. Sense checking the overall bill and the PAYE / NI creditor.
All vital stuff in year-end preparation, in this case for a 31 January 2016 year-end. Well in Xero there are various reports which look as if they might do the job, but in the filters none seems to me to have an option to look at the report by employee.
Following another thread about Xero payroll, I suspect the answer is that this report does not exist which is pretty grim right now for me, but even grimmer I suspect for anyone who has already Auto-Enrolled. But I live in hopes that someone from Xero can post up details of how to run it.

I don't use Xero Payroll
But you could probably knock together a quick Pivot (or Power Pivot) to run the report(s) requested from a "Detailed Accounts Transcation Report" in Xero. EDIT: after taking it to Excel of course.
I do that to slice and dice the data all the time.
Still annoying
It is still quite an annoying report, depending on what it is used for.
E.g. it doesn't drawdown depreciation entries that have been posted to GL..
I'm a big fan of Xero
I don't use Xero payroll though - clunky, costly and lacking in reporting functionality.
Why look beyond Moneysoft? Just one simple journal entry every month to get the information reported correctly in Xero.
