This feature is only for businesses located in Australia.

First, you will need to check you have:

• connected your Deputy account to your Xero account. 
• set up new hire onboarding
• onboarded your required new hires

In your onboarded new hire's profile, go to the Forms and documents on the left-hand side. If you have not approved the onboarding forms, click the Sync and approve button and you will see an option to sync to Xero. Make sure this tick box is checked:

If you have requested updated onboarding information from the new hire and need to sync the updated details, click Sync details and then you'll be able to sync the new information through to Xero.

If the sync is successful, the next time you open to view the form, you will see a date and timestamp.
