    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.

    Stuart Oliver commented  · 

    When an employee has a postponed autoenrollment the pension doesn't prompt or show up until just before the payment run has been posted. Making any prior payroll reports and payslips incorrect as the pension then tags on at the end. So reports then need to be reprinted and balanced again.

    Can the prompt no show up at the start of the pay run? This will then save any duplicated reports and potential incorrect payments.

    Also the pension filing report viewable before the RTI posting.

    Alternatively, enter the postponement date when posting the pay run in which the employee becomes eligible for auto enrolment. This will sync to the employee's record once the pay run is posted.
