UK Payroll - Birthday Notifications for employees
Notifications on xero to alert you that an employees age has increased due to a birthday, as they may have hit a new age bracket in the wage rates and they could be getting underpaid if not noticed. Example - employee goes from age 20 to 21 this would mean that if they are on the 18-20 year old wage rate and they are on the £7.49 once they turned 21 they should then be on £10.18. so notification of birthdays would help keep you aware of age changes.

Hi everyone, we're currently working on a feature that will automate the process of updating employees' NI categories. When released Xero payroll will automatically update the NI categories of employees who are transitioning out of their current category. This ensures that the calculation of NI contributions in the Pay run is accurate, and the correct amount is paid to HMRC.
Rather than having to notify, and then you needing to update this yourself Xero will save you this step and do it for you!
I'll come back to share when this is released for you all, here.

This would really help with auto enrolment of pensions and also NI Letter changes with age.

Great idea, and it would also be handy to have a notification when an employee reaches their 7 years of employment for LSL to kick in in Australia.

This implementation would be very useful: right to work, pension, rate to pay....affects so many areas it is a MUST.
When will it happen?
