Xero Payroll Integration

Droppah integrates with Xero Payroll, online payroll software for Australian businesses.

When Droppah is integrated with Xero Payroll you can send timesheets for each employee through to Xero Payroll to manage Australian payroll processing.

Integrating with Xero Payroll

To integrate with Xero Payroll, ensure your country is set to Australia in your Company Settings, then go to Settings > Integrations. Select Xero Payroll and press Connect.

A pop up will open, prompting you to enter your Xero Payroll login details - ensure you're an administrator in Xero Payroll and enter your details.

Follow the prompts to allow access to the appropriate Xero Payroll account. 

Once connected you'll be returned to the Integrations page - if the integration is correctly synced, you will see a green light on the Integrations page for Xero Payroll. 

Setting a Pay Calendar

The first time you click Link Employees on the Xero Payroll integration (after connecting), you'll be prompted to select which Pay Calendar you wish to send timesheets for. 

This must be a Weekly calendar, and only employees included in this Pay Calendar will be linked to your Droppah people going forward.

If you wish to set or edit the Pay Calendar later, you can do so from your Company Settings.

Linking Employees with Xero Payroll

Once you've integrated with Xero Payroll, you can click Link Employees on the Xero Payroll integration at any time to connect your People in Droppah with your Employees in Xero Payroll. 

Alternatively, you can select Link Xero Employees from the People tab.

Any of your Droppah people who aren't already connected to a Xero Payroll employee will be matched to a corresponding employee in Xero, provided they:

• Are in your nominated Pay Calendar in Xero Payroll
• Have a matching email address between Droppah and Xero 

If you would prefer to manually link employees rather than relying on name matches, you can do so using the Xero Employee dropdown on your people in Droppah:

Linking Work Groups to Xero Payroll

You'll need to link each of your Work Groups in Droppah to the appropriate Pay Item in Xero Payroll, so that Droppah know which Pay Item the timesheet hours should be allocated to. 

You can do so under Manage > Work Groups, using the Xero Pay Item dropdown available within each of your Work Groups:

Sending Time to Xero Payroll

Once your people and Work Groups are all linked to Xero, you're ready to start sending your timesheets through. You can find information on sending timesheets to Xero Payroll for payroll processing here: Approving Time for Xero Payroll
