AU Payroll: Leave requests for part time workers that dont work standard hours
When multiple days are requested the ability to adjust the hours for leave application so it matches the ordinary hours for particularly days.

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.

Agreed - a way to auto - calculate a part time employees leave would be very beneficial.

Nicole Sorensen commented
This should be standard

Ashley Head commented
For salary part time workers we need the option to record their default days of the week and how many hours they work on those days.
We currently have to manually change the hours on all leave requests for part time employees as Xero divides their weekly hours by 5 and calculates that is how much they work per day. This also means that Xero can't calculate public holidays correctly for part time employees and it needs to be manually changed each time.

For businesses using monthly payroll Xero is auto generating strange hours for leave days, sometimes this is 7.1429 hours. The staff work 7.5 hour days.
Please add a field where we can enter the correct default work hours rather than making us edit every single leave application to adjust to the correct hours. -

Fully agree with these comments. Xero calculates the leave accruals pro-rata, but then when employees submit leave requests, it pro-ratas the request by the hours in a leave request is calculated by the number of hours in a full pay period, divided by the number of business days in the pay period. For example, 38 hours in a week, divided by 5 working days. But all my part time employees work full days and have non-working days, so it needs to reflect 7.6 hours per day of leave requested - we shouldn't have to manually over-ride this every time. An easy option would be to set up a standard roster per employee, and it calculates the leave request based on that.

Even a simple hours per standard shift would help. If an employee doesn't work a full week, eg when there's a public holiday, hours for every pay type for every employee have to be adjusted

Ayla Ferizovic commented
Be able to change hours to show 75 hours as FTE or 37.5 per week, rather than 76 hours FTE/38 hours per week, when entering in the different leave types for a new staff member.

Allow for customisation of default leave, so when I assign new employee default leave.. it pops up with my edited preference for standard hours worked per week, and amount of accrued leave per year.

This would be fixed with the work pattern idea in another request. This needs to be done ASAP.

This is critical. I have spent a lot of time working through with my clients employees whom are part-time how to try and raise appropriate leave requests. It is currently very time consuming and non user friendly. If they had the ability to adjust the hours they wanted in their leave request it would solve the issue.

This would be very useful for my clinic and myself as I work non-standard hours.

Genevieve Ng commented
I work non-standard hours and this would save so much time and hassle in fixing these type of errors when I submit my leave.

Jean CLEARY commented
it is very important to have a format that allows people working outside of the 9-5 hours to book time off and to have the option to choose the correct hours. It is difficult to have to spend time working out the hours and ensuring that there are no miscalculations for days off as it can have an adverse impact on people's pay and annual leave time. In my sector if my hours are incorrect it may state that I am available to work when I am not. Having clear and accessible options will make it more applicable to everyone and make the system more user friendly.

This would stop me from leaving xero. It’s such a big issue for us. Currently we are employing someone to calculate the leave hours because xero can’t do it. Human error is unavoidable.
-
Clare HOLLINGS commented
Would save a significant amount of time and minimise the opporutnity for human error to have this as an automated feature. We have many staff working non standard hours
-
Kate Pearson commented
So important for this to be adjusted for us!
-
Keith Hockley commented
Leave requests need to automatically calculate pro-rata equivalent leave hours so this doesn't need to be manually entered. It if can calculate the pro-rata amount to accrue leave and for pay purposes why can it not calculate accurate leave hours? Manual calculations just opens windows for messy mistakes that are difficult to fix and unnecessary work.

Marina Alberti commented
Our team work from Tuesday to Saturday so it means whenever someone requests leave that includes a Saturday, xero doesn't add that day of leave. It would be great if we could specify what days of the week someone works so that when they request leave for a day that they work which isn't monday-friday, I don't have to manually calculate how many hours of leave it uses

AU Payroll: Input standard days and hours for part time employees so that leave calculates accurately
Currently when part time employees enter annual leave or sick leave there is a lot of manual work, either entering a separate leave application for every day so that the hours are correct or adjusting once the application is in. I'd like a feature where I can enter the standard hours for every part time employee so if they don't work Friday's and they enter a leave form for Thursday through to Tuesday, it doesn't add in time for Friday.
