   Hi community, thanks for the strong support in being able to attach files within Xero Payroll, both for employee records and pay runs. We really appreciate you sharing the value and efficiency this could create for you when working with Xero. It's evident that being able to store important documents like licenses, sick notes, and onboarding papers directly in Xero would remove the need for external storing systems or manual processes.

   We acknowledge it's not the end goal but wanted to highlight the use of apps, as some have shared like Dext, to help bridge this gap in the meantime.

   I want to assure you that enabling attachments in payroll is part of our long-term intentions. However, to deliver this functionality effectively and reliably, we first need to develop some foundational elements within our payroll platform.

   We understand your frustration with the timeline and the limited updates, and we're committed to improving our communication on these important ideas. We’ll be sure to provide further updates work progresses.

   Thanks again for your valuable contributions to the Xero community.

   Is it possible for Xero to include a documents tab in the employment section (perhaps in the notes a document can be added OR making it a mandatory part of setting up an employee), so that the TFN declaration and Super declaration forms are saved/can be saved into Xero?
   All of the information from those forms is used/shown in Xero - I have attached the ones I mean.

   We notice a handful of our tax return clients complain each year that their payroll at work/employer has set things up wrong, and when questioned, the employees TFN and super forms have magically disappeared or not been stored somewhere, so maybe that might help both sides, by facilitating some accountability on the employer's part and/or assisting the employer in showing to the employee that the payroll was setup as per what the employee requested.

   I also notice that a sometimes business owners forget about getting their staff to actually do a TFN declaration and super declaration OR don't actually know that these documents exist and should be completed so that they have what they need to complete the payroll setup. So perhaps making it a mandatory step might be useful to those that don't know or forget. I was thinking something similar to the bank feed form for the banks that require a manual bank feed connection (how Xero first provides the form for download and then they need to upload the form to move to the next step). If there is some form of text recognition software involved, it could even pull the details from those 2 forms and help owners to fill out those first 3 employment tabs (details, employment, taxes) and the payroll staff can then update/adjust to suit if the text recognition software was not able to pick up accurately (of course handwriting would be an issue here).
