MYOB has this functions many years ago and it is fantastic!

Unusual for MYOB to be ahead of Xero in one aspect for a change
Come on Xero, help Payroll admins out with an easy onboarding link in payroll

This feature will be very useful as they have to fill it in a manual form and send via email. Instead, this link will be good and reduce the admin overheads and also the mistakes that are bound to happen when copying from external documents

Please add the employee onboarding! Much needed.

Why can this not be done. A complete waste. So easy to collet Employee information electronically. This is 2024!

Please for the love of god, enter the modern era....

This is so important especially as myob has it. It makes for less data entry for new employees and less errors. This is a must.

Disappointed after transitioning from MYOB to find you do not have this basic function. Please prioritize ASAP

Employee Self Onboarding is URGENTLY required from Xero.
This has been on your ideas list for more than 12month!!! You are losing customers to MYOB their integration with Flare is a huge plus.

We are in the hospitality field and have a very high turnover of staff. Employee self onboarding is essential to our payroll system. It puts the onus on the employee to enter the correct tax, super and bank details which when using paper based systems can be very hard to read. It also eliminates double handling of data from our rostering system to Xero. Some idea of when this could be implemented would be greatly appreciated.

Payroll features is probably the main issue holding Xero. Maintenance of payroll is a huge issue for SME's and not being able to enrol volumes of employees eg in the retail space, quickly is holding Xero back. There is also a need to improve the payroll interface, its far too clunky with too many page clicks to deep dive into needed data.

the platform is already there, just a little upgrade instead of making the reports pretty, this would be useful

Employee Self Onboarding-ability to send a new employee and email invitation to complete their details directly into Xero (same as MYOB). Details such as:
-Address
-Emergency contact
-TFN and other relevant tax information
-Bank account details
-Superannuation details

XERO - This should be a priority. You are behind in the market without this feature. If other accounting software have it like MYOB as a standard, this should already be in Beta testing. Disappointing if it is not.
It should not be that difficult to provide. You would increase your market share, if this feature was included. It is a must have for most small to medium companies with payroll admin looking to move to XERO.

This is desperately needed to deal with the secure transmission of TFNs, which is highly problematic. MYOB's acquisition of Flare and integration of an onboarding feature set into the software was a great move on their part. It's essential that the payroll admin can continue editing the employee and potentially paying the employee before the employee has provided their TFN or super fund details.

Include self onboarding for new staff members, via an email link, to complete and submit their details which are directly imported to the employee fields to inlcude contact details, emergency contacts, TFN and Super details, and banking details for payruns etc

I'm looking to switch from MYOB to Xero and this is the only thing holding back my decision. It is such a great feature and as I do the payroll for my business and not much more, whatever saves me time influences my decision most.

employee onboarding:
MYOB has a great new feature where the employer sends an email to the new employee, and it has all of the compulsory items must be filled out by the employee before it can be sent back to the employer. Does Xero do this? If not it is a great idea. It stops the time consuming and back/forth comms before the employee is onboarded.

I would have to agree with Alana below! After using MYOB for nearly 8 years the onboarding feature is a dream! It is definitely one thing I miss not using now. It makes life so much easier to add new employees. Less paperwork for everyone and a dream for the payroll department. This feature in Xero would be amazing. Please add ASAP! :)
