Canyou is employee onboarding software for Xero Payroll, built for Australian businesses that need more than paperwork done, they need every new starter checked, compliant and cleared to work, then kept that way for as long as they're employed.

Does Xero do employee onboarding?

Xero's self-onboarding gets a new starter's tax, super and bank details into payroll. It doesn't check whether they're cleared to work, whether a licence is about to expire, or whether induction training actually happened. Canyou is the employee onboarding software that covers what Xero onboarding doesn't, then syncs the validated record straight into Xero Payroll.

What Canyou checks that payroll onboarding can't

• Paperless onboarding. New starters complete their TFN declaration, super choice (with stapled fund)

• Paperless onboarding. New starters complete their TFN declaration, super choice (with stapled fund lookups), bank details, contract and policies on their phone, no printing, no chasing signatures.

• Work rights checks. Visa holder are checked with the Department of Home Affairs, so you know who's cleared to work before their first shift, not after a Fair Work audit.

• Licence and certification tracking. White cards, high risk work licences, working with children checks and more are tracked to expiry, with reminders before they lapse.

• E-signatures. Contracts and policies are signed on the spot, timestamped and stored ready for an audit.

• Training videos with questions. Induction and safety training with questions to check it was actually understood.

• One-click Xero Payroll sync. Once details are validated, the record syncs into Xero Payroll, no manual re-entry, no mismatched records.

Onboarding software built for industries with real compliance risk

Construction, labour hire, agriculture, and education and training businesses choose Canyou as their onboarding software because work rights and licences change constantly in these industries. Over 6,000 Australian businesses use Canyou, cutting onboarding from 6 to 10 hours down to around 15 minutes per worker, with ISO audit-ready records behind every one.

Data you can trust

All sensitive data is stored in Australia. Every check, document and signature is kept as an audit-ready record, so you're ready the moment Fair Work, a visa compliance audit or an ISO review comes knocking.
