Enter your idea

As Helen Price has just commented - so many of us want to see this, and SOON!

I am constantly getting emails from Xero saying there is a new comment on an idea you supported - regarding uploading files to employees.
From what I can see this started back in early 2022 - and Xero lastest response was in March 23.
Is it possible for Xero team to give us an update on this request - a time frame would be great. Sorry if I have missed an update from Xero.
There has been alot of support for this update so I am sure Xero members might appreciated it. Thanks

Being able to add an employee's signed TFN dec and Super Choice Form to their Notes would assist greatly in the requirement by Fair Work Australia to keep these documents for seven years, while still maintaining confidentiality requirements under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)

For small businesses like many of my clients, it would be advantageous to be able to store things like employment contracts and all other sensitive employee information in a folder for each employee. Accessible only to users with Payroll Admin access. This would work well without having to invest in additional payroll management software external to Xero.

Adding documents to an employee's file would be great, there contracts, doctors certificates and documentation for employees. This would be the most important recommendation I would have to add to xero payroll.

We should be able to write on this app as well, like if we took a longer lunch hour or why we had to work back and get over time, this is a simple app that makes so much more work for all. It’s just common sense we should be able to comment or attach files to our time sheet!

Having supporting documents to leave would be a time saver and an easy reference checker.

I feel like I should be able to LIKE all these comments supporting this idea to show my support. Thank you to all those who continue to push this very worthwhile and time-saving idea.

Are there any revised plans to consider this feature for development soon?

surely should be a very simple fix to add documents to a system that already allows you to upload documents elsewhere!

We act as payroll administrators for a lot of our clients. Being able to file medical certificates along with personal details, tax file declarations direct to xero employees would greatly assist with legal requirements.

Add a file attachment section into Employee 'Notes' section so we can upload Licenses, medical certificates, contracts etc

This will provide a great convenience, very efficient.

This would be a huge benefit for us if we could attach documents to payslips, please could this be considered

agreed

Agree with Joelle's comment. And using files will not be appropriate as it is open to any user, not just users with payroll access.

With working from home being a normal concept in many businesses now, it would be good to be able to attach contracts and other important files to the employee contacts. I have many requests to supply these type of documents and do not have access to them until I go to the office. Having them easily available would be a benefit, especially for long time employees whose contracts may be in archives.
Thanks for considering this suggestion.

We can easily upload files for Purchase Orders and Invoices so I would not have thought it would take much to add this most important feature to the Employee section

I'd like to see this function too as it would be good to send important safety information to all team members

The ability to upload documents (pdf) in employees payrun or with the payslips for future reference, this will help with all information in one system and area
