Payroll Audit Trail - Posting of email payslips
Can we have an audit trail, even if similar to invoices/bills, where we can see the who, date & time of the payslips being sent out for a pay calendar?
This helps to know the payslips have been sent out and that there is an audit trail for this.

Being able to schedule the payslips to be emailed would also be very useful.
If you prepare a payroll earlier than the paydate you then have to remember to come back to the Xero file in order to email the payslips. And as there is currently no audit report it's not possible to determine if you have in fact already sent them!

I was going to raise this myself. As it has not been acted on yet, perhaps it is not understood, So I will endeavour to explain it from a different direction.
Payslips currently have Draft and Posted flags, to indicate their progress.
Please can you add a Sent flag when the payslip has been emailed, so the progress flags are Draft, then Posted, then Sent.
This would allow us to check that payslips have been sent out and prevent client frustration should the task be overlooked.
In terms of best practice, I would also love notes to be added below the payslip to confirm, when and who completed each stage, but I think the first step of creating the "Sent" stage is the most important improvement.

I very much support this, it is difficult to keep track off without an audit trail

The sending of payslips (within 1 day of recorded payment date) is a legal requirement here in Australia. I would like a report that lists any payslips that have not been sent, so I can quickly check if my clients have done what they are supposed to have, and rectify it if not.
