Simplify employee management
How does Xero help?
Xero's payroll functionality is included in many plans and helps keep accurate employee records, manage leave requests, create recurring timesheets and submit payroll data to government authorities.*
In the US, apps like Gusto are available to manage your payroll, helping you hire, pay, insure and support your employees.
Do more with apps
If you want additional support with tasks like onboarding and communicating with employees, consider connecting an app, which expands Xero’s in-built payroll functionality. Synching seamlessly with Xero Payroll, the following apps can help you:
- Streamline staff scheduling: Connect apps like Deputy and Planday to build your staff schedules in just a few clicks.
- Manage leave: Apps like LeaveCal sync approved leave from Xero directly into your calendar to help manage team availability.
- Track employees hours: Accurately and easily measure time worked by employees by plugging in apps like Jibble and Timedock into Xero.
- Manage timesheets: Easily approve and upload timesheets and create pay runs with apps like Upsheets.
- Global hiring: Apps like Deel simplify all aspects of managing an international workforce.
- Onboard employees: Apps like XOnboard and Canyou help get your new employees set up for payroll faster, without the manual back and forth (AU only).
*If Xero’s payroll features don’t meet your needs, e.g. your employee base is nearing 200 or your staff schedules are variable week to week, then consider connecting a specialised payroll app
