AU Payroll - New Employee - Online Commencement Forms
Ability to send and generate online commencement forms from Xero Payroll.
Purpose: Employees can complete and submit their own online commencement forms, rather than having to ask the employers to submit it.

Hi everyone, we're looking into this idea as part of research our teams are doing on managing employees, particularly looking at our customer's experiences onboarding new hires and setting them up in payroll.
Knowing the interest from our community in this here, we wanted to share an opportunity to get involved.
If you'd be willing to take part, our teams will be scheduling sessions which will be about 60 minutes via video call.
You can share your interest by taking a few minutes to fill in this form ✍️ - We really appreciate your time.
Thanks, and I'll make sure to share any outcomes from this discovery back with you all here.

Sincere apologies team, and appreciate highlighting the issue with the form link with me here. The team have just fixed this up, and if you click the link again it should load for you now. 🙏

The form won't load, and this issue has persisted since 2023. Come on, Xero Admin, keep up with the competition!

What happened here? This was posted on 2023. This is a outstanding idea!

When is this likely to happen?

This would move me away from other apps and exclusively to Xero if xero me included the need for the employee to enter their Tax forms ans super and it populated directly to Xero.

I'm shocked this hasn’t been implemented yet! Get on with it, Xero!

This is so basic and has been requested for YEARS. I work with product teams and I know Xero has the capability to do this. Maybe you need better product managers who pay attention to paying customers.

This would be amazing. Or even just the option to be able to upload files to a certain employee so all their data is in the one place.

I am surely hoping that this is being worked on, as it a basic option in MYOB and this is such a better product , just lagging behind in payroll...........

Siew Luke commented
Yes, it is disappointing that Xero does not has this function as MYOB already implement this many years ago.

Vicki Granger commented
Yes this is a great feature. I have just switched from MYOB and they had it and it made onboarding staff very easy - they also included forms so that we met legislative requirements eg the Fair Work Act.

Cheski Weinberger commented
Can we get new employees to fill out their own details for onboarding like MYOB has you have to put in there name and email address and they get a link to fill in all their details

Helen Ashenden commented
It works so well in MYOB and would be great to have it in Xero as well. It saves me so much time inputting new employees.

Pauline Hurrey commented
Please prioritise this as I have some clients on MYOB who will not move across to XERO until this feature is available. I am a XERO fan besides this missing feature
-
Stacey Quinn commented
This seems like a no brainer and something most other comparable software has. Is there any update on this?
-
Julie BARLOW commented
Switched from MYOB to Xero and happy with almost everything EXCEPT this. Not being able to onboard is a big issue. Time wasted doubling handling and having to email pdfs and forms to employees. Assumed Xero would have this functionality as MYOB had it. Very frustrated and disappointed. Please prioritise this functionality.

Please hurry. Recently moved from MYOB to Xero and was very disappointed that this is not an included feature.
