XOnboard + Xero

Onboard new employees automatically

New employees are invited to onboard via Xonboard.

After they have provide their details via the employee onboarding workfow, you will receive a notification to confirm & send their information to Xero.

You add their STP & other payroll details within Xonboard, and then everything is sent to Xero. All details provided are setup within Xero, ready for the next payrun.

Re-onboard existing employees

Xonboard can also re-onboard your existing employees to keep their details up to date. Select an existing employees from Xero's Payroll and invite them re-onboard. Xonboard will retrieve their existing details, and request them to provide any changes/updates. When they complete their re-onboarding any details that were changed will be sent to Xero (you can choose to review them before sending to Xero).

Note: Emergency contact details can not be sent to Xero. This is a limitation of the Xero API.

Takes the headaches away

Just what was needed for a small NFP with churn in staff, makes onboarding seemless and paperless which is amazing. Thank you
