Employee onboarding

Employee onboarding software that gets every starter cleared to work before day one.

Build a custom onboarding workflow for each role, then send one link. Canyou collects ID, TFN, super, bank details, licences and signed contracts from the worker’s phone, checks every field, and syncs it all to Xero, MYOB and Deputy.

No paper forms, emails or texts

No app or password for the worker

One click to sync into payroll

Easy for workers

Scan a QR code and start

No app to download and no password to set up. Workers scan a code on site or open the link you send, and they’re in. Simple enough for a small business hiring its first casual, and quick enough for a labour hire desk onboarding a crew.

Works on any phone with a browser

Two-factor authentication in Canyou

Secure by default

Sensitive data, handled properly

Tax file numbers and bank details never travel by email or text. Two-factor authentication means only authorised people can view them.

What is employee onboarding software?

Employee onboarding software replaces paper forms and email chains with one digital process. New starters complete their TFN declaration, super choice, bank details, contracts and licences on their phone, and the business gets checked records it can sync to payroll.

Does Xero do employee onboarding?

Xero Payroll has its own free self-onboarding form for tax, super and bank details. It doesn’t check work rights, track licences or run role-specific steps, so Canyou collects and checks all of that, then syncs the new employee to Xero in one click. See how it works on our Xero integration page.

What’s the best employee onboarding software in Australia?

It depends on what you need after payroll. If you only need tax, super and bank details, a payroll add-on may be enough. If your workers need visas checked and licences tracked before they start, choose onboarding software built for that, like Canyou.

How much does onboarding software cost?

Canyou starts at $49 a month for Essentials with 10 onboards included, then $129 for Pro and $349 for Scale. All prices excluding GST, with a free trial and no credit card required.

Does it work for casuals and contractors?

Yes. Build a separate workflow for each kind of worker, so casuals, contractors and permanent staff each get the forms, documents and licence requirements their role needs.

Which payroll systems do you sync with?

Xero, MYOB, Deputy and Cloud Payroll today, with more recruitment, HR and timesheet integrations on the way.

Can we add our own forms and inductions?

Yes. Add custom forms, document uploads, e-signatures, training videos with questions and licence requirements to any onboarding flow.

Know every worker is cleared to work

Work rights, licences, forms and signatures collected from a phone and synced to payroll. About 15 minutes per worker, with setup in about 10.
