PLSL Return Helper turns your Xero payroll reports into the hours, days, weeks and ordinary pay each scheme asks for, and fills in the return spreadsheet you exported from the scheme's portal.
Not ready to add payroll files? Open the helper and press Try it with sample data to see the result for any scheme using a made-up business.
Free for returns with up to 5 workers. For bigger returns, email us for a free trial key. A single web page: no account, no install, no sign-in to Xero.
The page reads the files in your browser. It is built to make no network requests at all, so it also works with the internet switched off.
It never connects to Xero. You export the reports yourself and drop them in.
Every pay item and every figure is shown before you download, with a check workbook listing each line that was counted.
