    Hi Diggler, we were previously using Reckon Hosted and the reporting and entering of details in the portal would take approx 1.5 to 2 hours each quarter with most of the time being spent entering the data. The July-Sept 2026 submission will be our first using Xero. My coworker has created a worksheet using the Payroll Activity Summary for the quarter per employee and manipulated the data to what we need. This has taken 8-10 hours for 80 employees, we haven't started entering the data into the portal which will probably take up to another 2 hours.
    I am usually the person doing all the reports and data entry for PLSL. As long as the data can be manipulated to include/remove information, an .xls file would be great - looks like an xls file is used, no sign of a csv on the portal??

    We report to the Portable Long Service Leave Authority for the Cleaning industry in Victoria, we have approx 80 employees. If a report contained the total hours and total amount paid for each pay item within a selected time period it would assist significantly. Also have the option to select any and every pay item we have created in Xero for this report. I have previously manually entered the data into the PLSL portal so an uploadable file would be handy if it was available.

    We also require public holidays (not worked) to be included in these reportable hours.

    I agree with Joey Lehrer's comment - The main report customisation needed is a payroll report that gives total hours and total pay for each employee, but that you can toggle individual pay items to be included or not.
