Great if your payroll is simple
CIS lives in the main Xero product rather than here. It is built for simple payrolls, multiple pay frequencies push its limits. Looking at alternatives.
Pros
The pension provider connection to NEST just worked.
Cons
CIS lives in the main Xero product rather than here.
