UK Payroll - Ability to change Pay Periods

We have hourly paid employees who get paid 12 x per year with either a 4 week or 5 week pay period. At present, Xero doesn't give this option to change a pay period within payroll calendars. There are only set pay periods.

Not in pipeline  ·  AdminDavid Reynolds (Admin, Xero) responded  · 

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on flexible pay periods. We appreciate you explaining how important this is, especially for those running 4-4-5 week structures.

The product team have reviewed this idea and, after looking into what would be involved, have confirmed it isn’t something we’re planning to add to Payroll in the foreseeable future.

We’ve updated the status to Not in pipeline. While we’re not moving ahead with this work, your feedback is still really valuable and helps us understand the different ways you’re running payroll in your business.

    We've had several clients move off Xero as a platform for all services as it can't deal with this payroll processing

    UK - It's so important that pay periods are flexible. As a matter of fact, it's a deal breaker for at least one client.

    AU - having the same problem. It needs to be more flexible to allow variations as all industries are different. I know Xero method is keeping it simple, but not all business models fit into the set standards. Having the same issue as previously highlighted. Our employees are paid on the last thursday of the month and nothing in xero can accomodate this.

    We need the option to change the pay period to accomodate 4 and 5 week pay periods. Currently Xero does not give this option - there are just set pay periods which just doesnt fit in with our payroll.

    We have the same issue.
    It would be very useful to be able to change the pay period to accommodate 4 and 5 week pay periods.
    At the very least, to be able to take off the pay period on the payslip so that it just shows the month number rather than the dates.
