Employee migration between accounts.

With changing business structures but staff/employees not changing, there should be an option to either migrate all data to a new account or at least export current data to import into the new account.

same as UK payroll bulk update item, but for Aus bulk update any field attached to employees.

We are currently transitioning to Xero and spending an incredible amount of time entering employee data that can not be imported. It surprises me how little data can be imported. I imagine there are companies with many more than our 60 employees but even this number is taking hours. I would fully support this being addressed.

We are restructuring and wish to move our staff to the new entity. Current reports are inadequate as they only support the basics. A csv file with all employee data would be SUPER USEFUL. A quick 10min report and import would eliminate tedious hours of Admin work.

Completely agree, needs to be implemented ASAP

We are currently managing payroll in Xero for multiple entities and are looking to transition a group of employees from one Xero organisation to another, due to internal restructuring.

We've moved to a new branch number within our ABN. We need to report STP figures separately for each branch. Xero's suggestion is to create a new Xero account to manage the old branch STP data but this means bringing across employee data. I can do some of this by importing, but some needs to be done manually. A functionality to bring all data across would be super helpful.

I run a large retail & hospitality group with multiple staff. At a time when we are reducing back office head count, I need improved Xero solutions to help me automate back office functions further. Xero does still seem to be a manual data entry heavy application.

I run payroll for a hospitality group which has 4 separate companies with staff often working between. Currently I have to copy details from one Xero to another do run payroll. It would be good id Employee details could be copied between businesses that you have Xero access for. or if staff details could be saved in a "Group" location with active members working locations added like in Deputy.

To be able to transfer employees from one Xero file to another would be helpful also.

Considering the importance of Tax, the fact that there is no report with employees' TFN is unfathomable!

This concern has been raised in 2022 and here we are almost in 2025. Are you saying this development was low priority? I know XERO is nice in many ways but if you want to be on top of the game, R&D is key. Can we have someone from XERO looking it to this seriously? Thanks

It's crazy that you cannot import more than just the basics. So time consuming.

It will be interesting to develop the importation of new employee through the bulk upload.
In fact, there are some information which are not able to be imported such as TFN, superfund detail,...

Import pay items from another Xero client that has the same award so you dont have to re-enter the same Pay items.

Has there been a report built for this yet?

Can we please get a upgraded bulk upload new employee feature that the template is not only for the basic personal info but also optional to include TFN, bank account detail, super account, emergency contact, leave type, pay template etc. basically uploading one file and the employee is read for payroll

Provide the ability to export the Payroll data for long term archival purposes as well as ability to import said records if there is a company merger or a change of mind in accounting platforms.

There is a lot of manual data entry to do which is prone to errors. I fully support that Xero should have the option to import ALL employee data.

Be able to export all employee details so this can then be imported into a new xero
