Automate assessment

If you’re a new business, on the day your first employee starts work (your duties start date), Xero Payroll checks if your employees are eligible for enrolment in your workplace pension.

Notify workers instantly

Xero automatically assesses and enrols new employees in your workplace pension scheme. Email employees from Xero to let them know they’re enrolled or if you’re postponing their automatic enrolment.

An employee reads an email informing them they’ve been assessed and enrolled in their employer’s workplace pension scheme.

Manage opting in and out

If you receive an opt-in or opt-out notice from an employee, you can opt them in or out of your workplace pension scheme in just a few clicks.

Automate re-enrolment

Xero Payroll automatically checks eligible employees for re-enrolment in your workplace pension during the pay run that includes your re-enrolment date, helping you stay compliant.

The pension screen lets you choose your next re-enrolment date.
