Oliver Furniss for Xero writes: Today for Australia we’ve released an update that gives you more power when it comes to payroll reporting. Retrieving the right information when you need it is key to good payroll administration. With this release, we’ve completely rebuilt our reporting framework and increased the number of reports available from seven to fourteen.

Allowing you to quickly and easily find and report on your information were our main priorities when building this update. Some of the key features you will notice include:

• Extensive filtering and sorting: Choose to report on all kinds of information including employees, employee groups, custom dates, and employee status.
• Custom views: Choose the columns to display on the page making viewing different types of information, straight forward.
• Easy as: Predictive search helps you find information already contained in the report without the need to remember.
• Export: All reports can be exported to PDF and Excel.
• Results in seconds: Our advanced technology can generate search results in a flash.
