    In discovery  ·  AdminKelly Munro (Community Manager, Xero) responded

    Hi everyone, we're looking into this idea as part of research our teams are doing on managing employees, particularly looking at our customer's experiences onboarding new hires and setting them up in payroll.

    Knowing the interest from our community in this here, we wanted to share an opportunity to get involved.

    If you'd be willing to take part, our teams will be scheduling sessions which will be about 60 minutes via video call.

    You can share your interest by taking a few minutes to fill in this form ✍️ - We really appreciate your time.

    Thanks, and I'll make sure to share any outcomes from this discovery back with you all here.

    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.
