Great news team, work has been moving along well and I'm pleased to share our teams are developing the ability for employees to self-onboard by entering their own onboarding details within Xero Payroll in Australia.

We appreciate the extra admin and time this will take back for Payroll admins to be able to focus on the more critical payroll tasks. Currently in testing with a small group of users, I look forward to coming back with more details as we progress to release.

    Please add, reduce data entry, storing of data - other competing software do it.

    I am surely hoping that this is being worked on, as it a basic option in MYOB and this is such a better product , just lagging behind in payroll...........

  • Siew Luke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, it is disappointing that Xero does not has this function as MYOB already implement this many years ago.

  • Siew Luke commented  ·   ·  Report

    MYOB has this functions more than 3 years ago.

  • Vicki Granger commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes this is a great feature. I have just switched from MYOB and they had it and it made onboarding staff very easy - they also included forms so that we met legislative requirements eg the Fair Work Act.

  • Carmen Griffiths commented  ·   ·  Report

    Need onboarding feature or will need to look at another payroll solution.

  • Michelle Zielke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please introduce an employee onboarding feature so that information critical to the employee setup like superannuation fund details, DOB and bank account details via a secure online portal (Xero Me) as well as the TFN declaration. I understand that this feature is available on other platforms. As my clients expand their own businesses onboarding new employees for them is currently not reliable as the employee may not provide all of this information together OR it is provided in a manner which does not meet data security standards for this type of information.

  • Cheski Weinberger commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we get new employees to fill out their own details for onboarding like MYOB has you have to put in there name and email address and they get a link to fill in all their details

  • Helen Ashenden commented  ·   ·  Report

    It works so well in MYOB and would be great to have it in Xero as well. It saves me so much time inputting new employees.

  • Pauline Hurrey commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please prioritise this as I have some clients on MYOB who will not move across to XERO until this feature is available. I am a XERO fan besides this missing feature

  • Stacey Quinn commented  ·   ·  Report

    This seems like a no brainer and something most other comparable software has. Is there any update on this?

  • Julie BARLOW commented  ·   ·  Report

    Switched from MYOB to Xero and happy with almost everything EXCEPT this. Not being able to onboard is a big issue. Time wasted doubling handling and having to email pdfs and forms to employees. Assumed Xero would have this functionality as MYOB had it. Very frustrated and disappointed. Please prioritise this functionality.

  • Catherine Burford commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please hurry. Recently moved from MYOB to Xero and was very disappointed that this is not an included feature.

  • Daniel Masters commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a pretty basic feature honestly – the free Payroller app even has this!

  • Mark Edbrooke commented  ·   ·  Report

    The longer you take the more customers you will loose!

  • Rebecca Seiler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please move ahead with this improvement for Xero AU Payroll. It will be a wonderful addition for business to have this feature integrated and automated with Xero. What is the timeline looking like?

  • Lauren Horne commented  ·   ·  Report

    We currently use the Canyou. app to automate these forms & they directly import into Xero. It is a good placeholder until Xero sort themselves out.

  • Rebecca Laguna commented  ·   ·  Report

    we switched from MYOB who offer self-onboarding. This is a critical feature for us as we have a large, ever-changing casual workforce. Self-onboarding is not only time saving, but creates fewer opportunities for error. We will only limp along with this system for a short time...

  • kat szuminska commented  ·   ·  Report

    That employer adds basic details including email address, then a 'new employee' form is generated from Xero directly to the new employee emailed to them, so they can add their details directly - into Xero. This process could save double handling, prevent errors and provide lovely transparency when a new person joins. All the details could then be exported for other systems for businesses big enough to have them. This could also be a form that's embedded in other paperwork. :) Thank you!
