timesheet start date
Can we change the start date of timesheets, please? Timesheets are often completed after the fact and I do payroll up to 10 days ahead of the end of the month, so I have a cut-off date for timesheets so that they can be processed for payroll. This means that the last one or two weeks of the month have to be included in the following month's timesheet (on Xero) as a lump at the beginning of the month, labelled as "Previous Month". Some months include 4 weeks and some include 5 weeks, so it can't be a set date each month - our weekly timesheets go Monday to Sunday, but our payroll is monthly. If we just stuck to monthly timesheets, I wouldn't be able to process them until the following month because they would be incomplete for the current month when I want to do the payroll. It does seem like it was set by someone who doesn't understand how processing a monthly payroll works.

Hi Alison, thanks for sharing this on Xero Product Ideas.
I wanted to let you know that it is currently possible to change the period of your timesheets, as they are linked to the pay frequency you use.
If your employees need to complete timesheets and you're paying them on the 15th of the month, you might like to change your pay frequency so that the pay period ends on, say, the 14th of the month. This will allow the employees to submit all of their timesheets before payday.
If you need an extra hand, you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊
