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.

Appreciate your input here, everyone. This is a feature that our team have looked into and would like to develop for AU Payroll, however there are a few other key pieces of work lined up before they get a chance to explore this further.
Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. If there’s any movement, we’ll make sure to come back and let you all know.

That employer adds basic details including email address, then a 'new employee' form is generated from Xero directly to the new employee emailed to them, so they can add their details directly - into Xero. This process could save double handling, prevent errors and provide lovely transparency when a new person joins. All the details could then be exported for other systems for businesses big enough to have them. This could also be a form that's embedded in other paperwork. :) Thank you!

This is a critical feature for us and having just moved from MYOB which had this feature was a function we assumed would exist. Going back to sending separate emails with PDF's backwards and forwards and having to re-key information feels like a massive step backwards.
Please prioritise this feature

We moved 4 businesses to Xero from MYOB and not having this feature is creating so much more admin. Please can this be added as a feature asap?

Are Xero taking any action on this? This is creating ridiculous unnecessary administrative work for employers.

When will this feature be released? It's a must have, crazy to have staff filling out forms and then re-entering them into Xero given the integration that is there from Xero to ATO already.

Very surprising Xero do not have this functionality, given MYOB do and they are usually behind Xero!
Xero had electronic lodgement of TFN forms very early.
Xero has missed the boat on this feature -

Both Quickbook and MYOB has it. I am surprised why this has not been rolled to Xero yet.

Hi steph
What's the rest of MYOB functionality like?
I'm getting to the point of this being a dealbreaker

Yes - this is a huge time consuming process. MYOB has this option and it is the only thing we really miss. They do their entire onboarding process including TFN, Super etc themselves.
Please don't make this as part of 'XeroMe' though!! -

In addition to this or instead of. Has anyone noticed its very difficult to find the TFN form on ATO webiste to download? The ATO is now asking new employees to complete their TFN and Super details via employee myGov account. Once done, they are given a form for the employer to enter the details into accounting software (so much better than paper forms). The form provides an Event ID and this ID can be used in some softwares to extract the data into accounting software. For me and I think many others, this would be a very good digital trail and integration.
So, can Xero look into this? Refer to attached document which is what the employee receives after doing TFN/super in their myGov and send to employer.

This is very helpful especially in terms of securing personal information. I hope Xero will consider this idea! Add this as a feature to Xero Me app!

Apart from the obvious time saving that can be achieved, it's a much more secure way for employees to transfer their personal information, rather than email.

I have switched from MYOB and am very surprised this is not available on Xero

I just switched from MYOB and can't believe XERO doesn't have this feature. Going back in time with manual forms :(

All other major packages allow this feature. A big shortcoming of Xero Payroll.

MYOB has this feature! Might have to switch to them?

A great feature idea that is on the roadmap for development in our businesses' back office systems. It would be a huge advantage if it were offered as a feature of Xero instead of needing to develop it specifically for our own use.
a lot of comments RE MYOB offering this feature. Maybe after around 10 years of Xero use it is time to return to or at least review what the competition has on offer?

This would be such a great feature! I have made our company our own to help our new employees get set up in the meantime. Most people have phones now so the document I made is all digital making it a very easy process.
However, this would be more beneficial to have on Xero's behalf and maybe a bit easier. At the moment many employees are overwhelmed by all the apps they need to download and we do not really appreciate having to ask them to download everything....Xero me, Xero verify, Xero projects, Xero Expenses...it is a lot and can be very confusing in the set up stage.
