Prepare Xero Account for Integration

Ensure your Xero account is set up correctly before connecting to Diversity Sync’d. This includes creating employees, assigning tax details and pay calendars, setting up pay items and rates, and configuring allowances for accurate payroll syncing.

Before connecting Xero to Diversity Sync’d, ensure your Xero setup is complete to avoid sync issues. Confirm the following:

Pre-Integration Requirements

  • All employees are created in Xero.

  • Employee tax information is assigned — timesheets cannot sync without it.

  • Pay Calendars are created and employees are assigned to the correct calendar.

  • Pay Items (earnings rates and allowances) are set up.

  • Each employment type and pay grade has a corresponding earnings rate, which will later be mapped to staff in Diversity Sync’d.

  • A training rate is created and assigned in Diversity Sync’d.

  • When creating pay rates in Xero, set the rate type as a multiplier of the employee’s ordinary earnings rate.

Notes

  • Allowances must use the Rate Per Unit type, with the unit set to Hours.

    • Example:

      • 20 km of travel = 20 units (hours) paid at the relevant rate.

      • One sleepover = 1 unit (hour).

  • If an employee has an existing pay template in Xero, the earnings rate lines will be replaced by synced rates from Diversity Sync’d. All other template sections remain unchanged.
