AU Payroll - Make employee groups mandatory
Please give us the option to make Tracking Groups a mandatory selection on the Employee tab before Xero users can save a new employee. This will stop users from setting up new employees & forgetting to assign the Employee Group tracking group which results in misreporting

Hi team, while we appreciate your feedback and why you'd like to make this field mandatory not all businesses use tracking for payroll. We want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for making the employee groups field mandatory.

Hi Kelly, I wasn't suggesting making it mandatory globally & forcing it upon everyone that uses Xero. I was suggesting that you provide an option to make it mandatory for our Xero organisiations if we want to. By giving us a setting to make it mandatory for a specific Xero organisation, we can stop bookkeepers & other administrators with access to Xero having the ability to create new employees & leave the employee tracking group blank, which then screws up all our reporting because new users get dropped from the employee group reports we run due to the fact they don't have a group assigned. Giving us the option removes the user error (which is high) when Xero admins (that are not used to specifying a tracking group whilst creating a new user) forget to set it.
