Being able to allocate part time workers to certain working days of the week would be of great assistance, particularly when the person works not only part time but school holiday breaks too.

For shift workers this is essential. Why does Xero assume everyone works 7.6 hours per day & doesn't work weekends? I have to adjust every leave request. And the silly thing is that the employee can't see the hours & assumes it's OK.

Come on Xero!! Help us all out and make this happen. We have been waiting so long for it.

Xero, this request has been going on for 9 months in this thread, and I also know there are other threads on the same topic. Please listen to the requests of your subscribers, and focus on delivering something that is pretty fundamental and critical to some many. This isn't about something looking good, or a minor tweak, it significantly impacts our work/businesses.

There needs to be a solution that covers clients who dont use Xero timesheets also.

Thanks

I have just been told by Xero support that an hours template has not been requested yet here it is!

All staff in this business are on different part time agreements. Every time there is a public holiday or leave, its a manual calculation & then checking to make sure nothing has been missed. Christmas & new year was an overly manual and time consuming process with the annual leave & public holidays

I dont think its enough to push me onto Xero Me & hope employees do timesheets correctly as there is also the factor of Time off in Lieu (TOIL or TIL) for extra hours worked

Please xero create a roster like system where we can enter employee ordinary days & hours which will then remove the error prone, manual system that only accounts for Monday - Friday, 8 hrs a day

With monthly payroll I know that we can edit or submit leave requests from staff, but I do not understand why this needs to be done. We have said in the payroll settings and also in the employee leave tab that an employee only accrues 150 hours of say Annual leave per year, so if an employee was to submit 20 days of leave it calculates as 141.3043 hours (which is not correct, it should be 150 hours). I know that it is being accrued on a calendar year and each month has a different number of days in it, but if the same monthly payroll is being processed at 162.5 hours per month - 37.5 hr week x 52 weeks = 1950 hours per year divided by 12 = 162.5 hours per month of paid hours. This is very time consuming and open to human error :(

It would also be good to be able to store the work days / hours per day roster, which would help with this.
Each part time person has to be adjusted when there's a public holiday

Ridiculous that it's not a feature, which is crucial for easy use of annual leave and public holidays calculations. I have to go through each leave request and draft wages to correct the public holidays on the hours and if it's not a workday for employee.

I find this issue a very time-consuming exercise. It would add great value to so many clients with a large number of employees choosing to work part time.

Agreed. The numbers of hours in a workday changes each month depending on the number of business days per month, if you pay monthly. Either introduces a lot of manual effort, or means that different amounts of leave are used depending on which month you take leave.

My business is doing the 4 day work week (8 hrs per day mon-thu) and this is crucial for us to be able to manage our employee leave. It currently thinks a day of leave is 6.4 hrs (32/5) and cannot account for the fact that we don't work on fridays and so leave should not be applied on those days. I thought of a hack of creating my own holiday calendar to handle the friday thing but the 6.4 hours per day problem still remains.

This is a no brainer and is an absolute necessity

This has been requested by so many people in different threads - it's a really fundamental function, that Xero needs to address. It affects annual leave requests and public holidays, and is very time consuming having to do it manually for all staff.

Agree that this should be standard and don't see how it is not already included as a feature. The discussion forums have dozens of requests for guidance on how to set standard hours for part time staff with the only responses being that you need to do it manually. There is a flow on affect to leave requests and public holidays which I have just experienced for the first time and hopefully the last! In my example we have a staff member that works Mon, Wed, Fri and there should be the ability to record this as a default

Fully agree with all the comments below. This feature needs to be added as it the issue it causes is very time consuming...

This is a very time-consuming problem. Other competing software's have this feature, so with Xero being the "Innovators" it would be great to see this feature added.

This is a very good idea

Xero me App automatically puts in 8 hrs for one day, This default setting should be able to be changed, as we are constantly finding leave requests are incorrect, and need to be adjusted, creating too much work.
