Error

Type Feature Error Description
Sync error Employee file

A validation exception occurred. Payroll calendar may not be changed while the employee has unprocessed leave.

Explanation

This error occurs when an employee in Xero has an unprocessed leave request that their manager approved and synced over to Xero from Employment Hero. When Employment Hero encounters this issue, it will not synchronise the affected employee file over to your Xero platform.

  1. Process the leave request in a Xero pay run and then re-sync Xero with your Employment Hero HR platform.
  2. Delete the approved but unprocessed leave in both Employment Hero and Xero, resync the employee file to resolve the error and then re-add the leave to Employment Hero.

  1. Log in to your Xero platform.
  2. Click on the Payroll button.
