Great news team, work has been moving along well and I'm pleased to share our teams are developing the ability for employees to self-onboard by entering their own onboarding details within Xero Payroll in Australia.
We appreciate the extra admin and time this will take back for Payroll admins to be able to focus on the more critical payroll tasks. Currently in testing with a small group of users, I look forward to coming back with more details as we progress to release.

New employees | Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au) - Employer software linking to forms in myGov
The specifications are now available for software developers to build services that link your software to the online commencement forms. Check with your software provider to find out if this service will be offered.
With this service, you can allow your employees to access the ATO online services form through their own payroll software or onboarding solution. They would:
• only be able to access these forms from the link you give them
• need a myGov account linked to ATO online services.
On the ATO online services screen, your employee can:
• view pre-filled information about their tax affairs (for example, residency status or education loans)
• see information related to their superannuation, including their existing funds and your default fund
• complete and submit the employee commencement forms to us.
Once the form is submitted, your payroll software will request the information from us through SBR2-enabled software. The information we give you will include the employee's tax file number, residency status, tax free threshold, Medicare levy details and chosen super fund.
