Projects - Suggestion for tracking time and costs for non-user contractors
Feature request for better support of tracking time for non-Xero users in Projects. Need a solution for tracking self-employed labourer's (non-Xero users) hours worked across Projects. Time sheets for non-Xero Users across Projects.

We need to do a burn rate for various contractors on various Projects - how many days or hours do they have left out of what the client's customer will pay for. Xero can't do this, so I have to manually update a spreadsheet with every bill paid and every payroll run (some contractors are run through payroll because they're direct contractors for whom we are liable for ensuring their superannuation is paid). The contractors can't use Xero timesheets, even if they _were_ employees because they don't meet the customer's requirements, which includes a representative of the customer signing off on the timesheet (which, obviously, the customer does not have access to my client's datafile to approve timesheets). And even if they did meet the customer requirements, many of our contractors are working in secure environments where access to external networks is locked down (ie they can't do it on their phones because they're not allowed to take bluetooth-capable devices into the secured area, and they can't access the internet on the secured onsite computers).

Definitly need an option for non-employees to be added to Xero Projects.
In our case, we sub-contract project work to consultants who then provide us with invoices against their time.
As Xero Projects will currently only accept users who are employees, our current option is either set up Subcontractors as employees (even though we don't pay them as part of our payroll and don't pay leave, their taxes or super.
or
We set up a 'fake' employee
or
We add these times against an existing employee (in Xero Projects)- but then need to edit the payroll timesheets because we don't actually want to pay the employee for the contractor(s) time
We need to be able to add the contractors time into Xero Projects so that we can invoice the work to the client properly.

I have the same issue. Hoping to be able to add people to track within projects manually and even more important would be able to sink project hours in gusto to time tracking on projects in xero
