Hey everyone! It's been really insightful reading through your comments on adding a preferred name field to employees. We see how this feature could help with creating a more inclusive environment, while also helping prevent simple administrative mix-ups.
There isn’t a dedicated way to manage this in Xero right now, but your feedback has highlighted the opportunity for one. For this reason, we have updated the idea's status to Accepted, confirming our product team agrees this is a feature we’ll put on our radar to consider developing in the future.
We’ll let you know as soon as we have an update here.

I would like to suggest adding the facility to assign a preferred name to an employee.
We have several staff members who either use their middle name or an alternative name, not their official legal name. It feels as though the legal name needs to be input into Xero (to ensure it is correct for generating documents such as P60s & P45s). But for everyday purposes, it would be extremely helpful to have the preferred name as an option.
Would really appreciate if this functionality could be added to Xero Payroll.
