   Hi Chris, thanks for your idea here. Understand you may have completed the process yourself by now, but incase you have other orgs you're looking to set up and for others that may be looking for the same - We've released new Switching Wizard in Payroll for the UK. 

   This'll make it easier to transition from your current payroll provider to Xero Payroll, reducing errors and saving you time.

   As part of the experience, you'll be able to import a Full Payment Summary(FPS) from your current software provider to Xero Payroll. You can get more understanding of how this works on our website and through our short video.

2. Timesheets - New design has limited functionality

   I have observed that the timesheets section in the payroll system has been updated. However, this update appears to have introduced several questionable design choices that hinder its functionality and efficiency.

   Firstly, the employee list is not sorted alphabetically, which complicates the process of locating specific individuals. Secondly, the system no longer autofill's the default earnings rate, requiring unnecessary manual input. Thirdly, upon clicking the "Approve Timesheet" button, a redundant popup appears asking for confirmation of the approval, despite the action already being explicitly initiated. Lastly, when entering hours worked into a field, the system fails to clear the default "0:00" placeholder; instead, it appends the new input to the end, rather than replacing it as was previously the case.

   These design flaws represent a significant regression in usability. I question the oversight process that allowed this update to be implemented in its current state. Who was responsible for reviewing this prior to its release? The deficiencies suggest a lack of thorough evaluation, and those accountable should face serious consequences for this oversight.

   Hi everyone, while we appreciate your feedback about the updates to Timesheets with quite a few points raised in the one post we are going to move this to feedback. I want to assure you your feedback here has been shared with our product teams - however, if there are specifics that you'd like to see developed in the new timesheets we ask that you create ideas for each that we can then get a sense of the community in and keep you updated through - See the qualities of an idea on Xero Central. 🙏

3. Xero Me: Allow multiple timesheet entries in one day when using start and end times

   Add the ability to Xero / Xero Me for multiple time sheet entries per day.
   For staff who work across multiple sites having the ability to add multiple time entries per day and either select a client to associate those entries against, or add a note for each time sheet entry would be fantastic.
   Ultimately you would allow up to 6 time entries per day.

   Example

   Monday
   Time Entry1= 8:00 - 11:30am (note= site 1)
   Time Entry2= 12:00 - 3:30pm (note= site 2)
   Time Entry3= 3:30pm - 5:00pm (note = site 3)

   Doing this would improve the functionality and uptake of Xero Me across companies that have staff supporting multiple clients. It will also simplify payroll.

   Cheers

   Hey team, apologies we've not got back to you here sooner. Our product team have implemented a change so you can now enter the start and end times in a timesheet, which enables you to enter time spend in multiple locations.
