Payroll in Xero

You must have set up the new Pay Roll system in Xero:

http://help.xero.com/Help/PayrollFromPayRun.htm

Pay Roll -> Pay Runs -> + Add Pay Run

Check the pay period and pay group and select "Next"

Check that your employees are getting paid correctly, and if so:

Click "Post Pay Run"

Pay Run Options -> "Email Payslips"

The Pay Run hasn't been entered into our accounts system yet.

Pay Run Options -> "Create Draft Invoice"

Before you approve, take a note of the amount due for superannuation. We will need to enter it ourselves manually as a "Spend Transaction" later.

Accounts -> Accounts Payable -> Draft -> Select your Pay Run and click Approve

Once the payment has been made from your bank account. We'll need to account for that payment in Xero.

Import the transaction from your Bank provider

Create a spend money transaction for your bank account.
- The transaction should coincide with the date the payment was made from your bank account.
- The amount should be the same as what you paid, which should also be the amount you owed and wrote down earlier
- The account field should be "Superannuation Payable"
- The paid amount should be a positive number

Now you can reconcile the bank transaction against this spend money transaction.
