Seamlessly Integrate Our Payroll with Xero

Learn how to integrate Staffology payroll with your Xero account in only a few clicks.

Getting started

If you do not already have a Xero account, create one. There is a free trial available.

Create a Staffology account, which is also free up until you want to submit a genuine FPS to HMRC.

To connect your account to Xero, you need to create an employer in Staffology. Either create a real one or follow the on-screen prompts to create a demo company.

Then select the employer name from the main menu and go to Settings -> Connected Services.

You will see that we connect to a wide range of services. Change to the Accounting tab and select the Xero icon.

After agreeing to give access to your Xero account, it redirects you back to Staffology. You are now connected – that is it! 

Mapping Nominal Codes

You only need to do this once.

Select the employer’s name from the main menu and choose Settings -> Pay Codes.

Select Nominal Codes and then Load codes from Xero.

We will connect to your Xero account and get a list of your nominal codes. These are then listed in the drop-down lists so you can map a Pay Code in Staffology to the relevant nominal code in Xero.

Once you have mapped everything needed, then select Update Mappings.

Posting Journals

Every time you finalise a payrun, we will automatically create a journal and post it to your Xero account.

You can verify that the journal has been posted by going to Reports -> Payruns -> Journal Entry.

There is also a link here to view the journal entry in Xero.

Automation

Now you have automated the creation of journals, see what else you can automate.

Our auto-pilot feature can run a whole year of payrolls without you lifting a finger.
