Overview
Xero gets them paid. Canyou gets them cleared to work.
Getting a new starter into Xero Payroll is the easy part. Making sure they're allowed to be on the job, with a signed contract, a completed induction, verified work rights and a current licence, is the part that never ends.
Canyou is the workforce compliance layer for Australian businesses that run on Xero. Send one link to a new starter's phone (no app, no password) and Canyou collects, checks and chases everything they need to start, then keeps watching after day one.
📲 Everything a new starter needs, in one link TFN declaration, bank details and identity verification Automated super stapling, member creation and default fund registration Contracts, policies and inductions signed with built-in e-signature Training videos with tests, so you know they watched and understood Work rights checked directly with the Department of Home Affairs (VEVO)
🛠️ Built for the role, not a fixed form Custom forms, fields and steps for each role or site Managers and approvers added into the workflow QR site sign-in for workers and subcontractors at the gate
🔔 Compliance that keeps going after day one Licences and certifications tracked to expiry, with renewal alerts and an audit trail Automated email and SMS reminders until every task is done Every document stored securely in one place, with data held in Australia
🔄 Canyou + Xero Validated employee details sync straight into Xero Payroll in one click. No re-keying and no TFNs sitting in email. Canyou also syncs with MYOB, Deputy and Cloud Payroll.
🤝 For bookkeepers and accountants Onboard your clients' staff without TFNs landing in your inbox, and verify your own clients' identities (individuals, companies, trusts and partnerships) on the same platform.
🏗️ Built for regulated industries Construction and trades, labour hire and recruitment, hospitality, aged care and disability support, education, and agriculture.
