AU Payroll - Ability to export and import pay items and rates

Ability to export pay items and update pay rates in a spreadsheet and then re-import when pay rates have been updated. Would save so much time each year when Fair Work increases pay rates.

    Hi,
    It would be great if Xero worked towards enabling clients to import Fair Work pay guide templates into their payroll settings and that these also automatically update when there are changes made.

    I totally support this concept. Apart from being a critical time saving feature for employers with a huge list of pay items, it would help negate the risk of data entry error.

    Would love to have this functionality where pay award levels can be entered as a template and just allocated to an employee when they start. Then it's super east to update just one template with the current pay increases, rather than having to go into each individual template.

    Has there been any update on being able to import the new pay rates from Fair work to the pay items yet?

  • Tabatha Mitton commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical for our business model as we deal with franchise operations, so the pay category data is identical for each new xero file we create.

  • Michael Buggy commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a critical feature for us at the moment because we employ staff under Modern Awards. There are too many pay rates to have to enter one at a time every time there is an update to award rates (which is often)

    Is there any planned update for this feature?

  • Nina Lintott commented  ·   ·  Report

    We have just re-done our chart of accounts, including creating new pay items to separate each department and staff levels within each department. We have to create each new pay item one at a time, which is time consuming. Additionally we have to amend the pay templates for each employee one at a time. Being able to export and import the pay items (like we can do with products and contacts), would make this so much quicker.

    We have just set up a new Xero for a different Entity name and have to export and import all data, but unable to do this with Payroll items, doesn't make sense. Exporting and importing Pay Roll Items across Xero accounts would make it much easier than having to create them all again.

    Love this, Just setting up Payroll Items in new Company Files would be great. When its identical data accross multiple companies, I find it strange that this all has to be set up repeatedly manually.

    Anything that makes the annual Fair Work changes easier would be good!
