AU Payroll - Set Working Days for Part Time Employees

Currently, Xero does not have the feature to assign certain working days for part time employees. This becomes very frustrating when doing payroll.

For instance, an employee works Wednesday to Friday and when a public holidays falls on a Monday, Xero will allocate either all or some of the employees ordinary hours to this date incorrectly. This means we will have to manually adjust it each time.

A simple resolution would be to set up employees to certain working days, then the public holidays would assign correctly and there would be no need to manual adjustments.

    Yes, I agree! Would love to have this feature so we don't need to manually calculate hours.

  • Tracey Ritchie commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree that this is a critical issue - I am constantly spending way too many hours each week processing payroll and having to double check and amend employees pay slips to account for the many individuals who don't work the standard working week (90%+ of my workforce).

  • Krystal Butcher commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed! This has been an issue with Xero always but worse in the past few years as the standard working week is not full time or Monday to Friday. Please change this asap. We should be able to allocate how many ordinary hours an employee works on each individual day on their profile.

    We are constantly deducted too much from the leave balances of part-time employees. Most of our employees are part-time so its a constant juggle to get it correct

  • Fiona Pengel commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree - this should be standard as the 'normal' working week is no longer 40 hours over 5 days Mon-Fri. Please sort this out it is so important as 90% of our workforce work part-time and this causes issues all the time!

    And yes there is a similar idea on this forum, so if you aggregate the numbers of votes for these, you will see a large number of people calling for this

    This is a similar (perhaps same) as thread AU Payroll: Leave requests for part time workers that dont work standard hours

    perhaps we need to be able to link ideas so that we dont have multiple threads or tag someone so that we know that these have been seen?
