UK Payroll - Employee 'Known As' Name Field - Please Add to Employee Record
Please can Xero add an Employee 'Known As' Name Field to the Employee Record, and show this alongside the legal name, on the Employees Homepage (& when running payroll) with the ability to sort alphabetically by this 'known as' name in both places.
Nearly half of our employees go by names that are not their legal name. e.g. Annie = Kit Yee, Kate = Catherine, or go by their middle name instead of their first name.
This issue is making running payroll ever more difficult and the potential for error incredibly high, as often the legal name bears no resemblance to the 'known as' name, and payroll is the only time this name will be used. It also feels a little discriminatory and could lead to resentment of people with different names.
In this modern world, why has Xero not thought of this already?
Pretty please can Xero get with the times and get this updated ASAP please.
Thank You
