Heya community 👋 you can now make use of self onboarding of new employees and contractors!

When setting up a new employee you can send a request to them to fill in their details and complete the onboarding process via a secure online form. As part of this, they'll create a Xero user account which can be used to access Xero Me.

Check out our Xero Central article for more about the process and what information is collected. We appreciate all your interest and support in this idea, here.

    This is so basic and has been requested for YEARS. I work with product teams and I know Xero has the capability to do this. Maybe you need better product managers who pay attention to paying customers.

  • Vickie Sievers commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be amazing. Or even just the option to be able to upload files to a certain employee so all their data is in the one place.

  • Lori Notman commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.
