Enter your idea

Hi everyone, thank you for your continued support and for sharing how valuable it is to keep employee documents in one place within Xero Payroll.

We’re pleased to share that this feature is now rolling out in Xero Payroll for all AU customers.

We’ll be allowing Payroll Admins to upload files directly to an employee profile, securely store them against the relevant employee, and organise them into folders. They’ll also be able to view, rename, move, sort and delete files, with access restricted to Payroll Admins.

Expanding the feature to NZ and the UK isn’t on the roadmap just yet, but it’s something we’ll continue to consider as part of longer-term improvements. We’ve created separate ideas for these regions and added relevant voters from the idea here.

• NZ Payroll – Upload/attach employee files ( https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967118/suggestions/51739056 )
• UK Payroll – Upload/attach employee files ( https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967118/suggestions/51739060 )

We’ll return to share another update once the Australian release is complete. 😊

Hey team 😊 happy to come back to share that this work is now underway with our product team as they begin development for managing files within Xero Payroll.

We really value the feedback we’ve received from you all in this idea, which has helped inform our teams approach to developing a solution that will fit majority of needs.

I’ll return to share as we get nearer to release with more information on what this looks like including where and how you’ll be able to attach files in Payroll.

Hi everyone, we’d like to return with an update for all who’ve supported the idea for attaching files within Payroll.

As we develop foundations of payroll to enable us to consider new features like this, we’re beginning discovery of how we might build this capability and when this could be planned in our roadmap.

This is just the initial stages of diving deeper into this work, but steering in the right direction.

I’ll be sure to share any progression around attachments within payroll with you all, here.

Hi community, thanks for the strong support in being able to attach files within Xero Payroll, both for employee records and pay runs. We really appreciate you sharing the value and efficiency this could create for you when working with Xero. It’s evident that being able to store important documents like licenses, sick notes, and onboarding papers directly in Xero would remove the need for external storing systems or manual processes.

We acknowledge it’s not the end goal but wanted to highlight the use of apps ( https://apps.xero.com ) , as some have shared like Dext, to help bridge this gap in the meantime.

I want to assure you that enabling attachments in payroll is part of our long-term intentions. However, to deliver this functionality effectively and reliably, we first need to develop some foundational elements within our payroll platform.

We understand your frustration with the timeline and the limited updates, and we’re committed to improving our communication on these important ideas. We’ll be sure to provide further updates work progresses.

Thanks again for your valuable contributions to the Xero community.
