    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. We appreciate those of you who’ve taken the time to explain how this impacts your employees.

    As some have mentioned, there are regional regulations around what details appear in government filings.

    Right now, the ‘Title’ field is free text and there's the option of using this to enter what your employee prefers. However, we'd recommend considering any impact this may have on RTI and pension filings and connecting with your adviser.

    Our team has completed a thorough review of this request, including the technical and compliance considerations. At this stage, we will not be making changes to these specific areas of UK payroll.

    We’ve shared your feedback with our product teams for consideration in future planning. Thank you again for sharing here and highlighting how we can make future improvements.

    Hi,
    At the company I work for we have several members of staff who are non-binary - as Andy has already mentioned, this is very distressing for staff who might log into their "my xero" account to access payslips or change other information and see male or female there.
    It is also very difficult for myself from a practical POV as payroll admin to have to "guess" whether any of these staff would prefer to be classified as either male/female when forced to choose.
    I understand currently the need to match HMRC, obviously this is an oversight on their part first and foremost.
    Looking forward to any update as and when they come.
    Thanks
    Katie
