We are long term users of Xero and find many aspects of its functionality make our accounting functions easy! This is not the case in terms of Payroll entry….The Xero Me App does not come close to meeting the needs of a small business like ours….and I am sure we are not entirely unique!

Our business is predominantly made up of casual employees who work different hours from day to day/week to week. Many of our employees also drive vehicles and require kilometre reimbursement.

The biggest challenge we have is the accurate recording of employee hours…unfortunately, we have issues around inaccurate recording of hours - most commonly leading to additional time claimed by employees (just 5 -15 mins here and there…but it adds up!)
We would like to be able to have our employees ‘clock in and clock out’ in real time.

The other issue that we find unmanageable in the Xero Me App is the entry of kilometres for re-imbursement. Many of our staff use their vehicles for deliveries and require reimbursement at a per km $ rate. There is no current facility to do this by the employee, via your current timesheet functionality.

We hope, as has occurred with many other areas of within Xero, that there may be some additional focus at your end to create a payroll interface that we could use. We currently have no option aside from recording staff hours on a manual timesheet and having a payroll person enter the hours & kms into Xero, other than paying quite substantial additional $ for a companion app.

We hope this issue will receive some consideration!
