Ask about Xero Payroll across AU, NZ and the UK
Payroll is optional access. The connector uses different Xero Payroll APIs by region, so available actions differ between Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Read payroll information
Where payroll access is enabled, tools can list employees and pay runs, read leave balances and earnings rates, and summarise a pay run. Leave balance queries can cover active employees in an organisation. Pay run summaries compare employee net pay with the previous run of the same calendar and flag significant changes or employees present in only one run.
Draft payroll changes
The connector can propose timesheets, leave applications and updates to employee contact details. The update tool allows names, email, phone, mobile and address fields. It does not expose or edit bank details, tax numbers, tax settings or salary rates. These proposed changes wait for approval in Invio.
Pay run limits by region
Pay runs can be created through the API in Australia and New Zealand, but not the UK. Posting a pay run is supported for Australia only. Posting does not file Single Touch Payroll with the ATO or transfer wages to employee bank accounts. Review all payroll proposals carefully before approval.
Prompts to try
Try "Show annual leave balances for active employees in Acme NZ", "Summarise the latest pay run in Acme AU", or "Draft a timesheet for [employee] for 38 ordinary hours". The assistant needs real employee, calendar and earnings-rate details from Xero; it cannot safely invent them.
