    Thanks for this feedback on how pension enrollment currently works in Xero payroll. It’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in. We can see this idea has been steadily gaining support. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

    In the meantime, here's a tip to trigger pension assessment before posting the pay run:

    1. With the pay run in draft click Post.
    2. When the Automatic pension enrolment pop up displays, click Confirm.
    3. On the Complete Pay Run pop up, click Cancel.
    4. You can now open the draft payslip or download pay run reports with the pension deductions included.

    Both employer and employee pension contributions are shown on the paysliip after pension assessment adopting the "confirm and cancel" arrangement. These are not however reflected in the pay run summary produced after this procedure, neither shown in the total of employer pension contributions nor reflected in the net pay. This is an issue for larger employers who use this schedule to make the net payments to employees rather than go through each individual payslip as it results in an overpayment to the newly enrolled worker. This has been raised with Xero Support who say that the arrangements are working as they should. It is not working for our clients.
