AU Payroll - HH:MM entry format for timesheets
It would be wonderful to have the option to use HH:MM format for timesheet entries, instead of only decimal time. Hard to convince employees to do timesheets as it is, but to also ask them to convert two weeks of project works over numerous jobs into decimal format is a big ask! Not many people are used to entering 4.6667 hrs instead of 4hrs 40min. If this is a feature of Xero Practice Manager, can it not be easily made available to the rest of us?
Thanks so much for sharing this idea around using HH:MM format for timesheets.
Just to share a current option that may help: if employees change their Xero Me app timesheet settings to “Start and end times”, they can enter their hours using HH:MM (for example 4:40) without needing to convert to decimal hours. This lets them record their times in a more familiar format while still flowing correctly through to payroll.
We appreciate you raising how important this is for making timesheets easier for employees to complete, and we’ll keep monitoring interest in expanding time-entry flexibility further.
If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊
