Ability to Import Timesheet templates from excel

Could we have the ability to update timesheets each payrun from and excel spreadsheet.
This is so that admin staff can data enter timesheet information without necessarily having access to the payroll system. This is also in the case of Company's who do not want the Xero Me function.

Appreciate raising the idea here, Mona


With improvements to XeroMe our intention is to make it simpler for employees to self enter this sort of information. 

Is there a particular reason why you'd prefer not to use this function? Would be good to be able to share this back with our team or perhaps there's another idea I could be connecting you in with here

    Xero me doesn't appear to be clock in clock out, but rather enter and submit later. Our staff must clock in and clock out, and they currently do this in a separate system. We've just converted from MYOB which has the timesheet import capability.

    Quite basic really. Disappointing that Xero don’t have this functionality. May have to consider alternatives

    Just boosting this function request - this would save us hours of staff time and potential errors manually entering 100+ staff's hours each month.

    We have over 100 staff, with multiple payroll categories and our award is quite complex, so we calculate our payroll balances in excel and then upload to our current erp.

    Our employees base hours are tracked in a different software platform which captures their hours by project by day. The Xero Me app wouldn't work for us as it doesn't allow time sheet entry by project in the app and doesn't correlate to our allocations software.

    We critically need to be able to upload a batch of timesheets & payroll entries for our employees. See attached an example of our fortnightly timesheet data entry

    Hi, I would like to request Xero to update the product team to prepare an excel time sheet template that we could automatically upload into the time sheeting function. We have a client and we have to do the payroll every week. The payroll process is that we have to prepare an excel from their time sheet to calculate the hours and then have to enter the total hours in Xero to process their pay. If Xero could come up with a template of time sheet suitable for Xero then we can upload the times heet straight to Xero and Xero will do the hours calculation.

    Desperately need to import external pay run information e.g. hours, earnings rates, into Xero in either the Timesheets function or directly into the pay run.

    We use an ERP system and today need to manually enter all payroll times by employee. Not really acceptable for payroll!
