AU Payroll | Employees - Consistency between export and import details

Please re-work the Employee Contact Details report to include ALL of the information available in the employee bulk upload template and in the same format. Also add email address to the bulk upload format as it is already in the Employee Contact Details report.

When a client undergoes a restructure, the employees must be copied into the new file. It is EXTREMELY time consuming to type it all.

You have the start of a great export/import ability, it just needs a little bit of attention and it would be perfect.

    This concern has been raised in 2022 and here we are almost in 2025. Are you saying this development was low priority? I know XERO is nice in many ways but if you want to be on top of the game, R&D is key. Can we have someone from XERO looking it to this seriously? Thanks

    It will be interesting to develop the importation of new employee through the bulk upload.
    In fact, there are some information which are not able to be imported such as TFN, superfund detail,...

    i second this - i have a big job ahead of me to transfer data to the new business and am very confused on why only some data can be uploaded.

    Payroll Employee details export - allow the user to select the required fields (as you can on any database system) and export all selected employees' data. The current set up of downloading one employee at a time is useless. (Accounting Employee details report is not an alternative, only a basic list of addresses with very few fields/columns to choose from - not even DOB)

    Very important - will be very handy!
    A small change to save a lot of time!

    Ability to export all of payroll information (Employees, pay history, leave entitlements) and import into another Xero payroll file without having to download the information and manually populate a template to import into the new Xero file.
