    Thanks for your feedback about setting working days for part-time employees, everyone.

    We’re pleased to share that working patterns are now in development, with the first release planned for later this year.

    You’ll be able to set a one-week work pattern for each employee, which will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run. For this first release, you’ll still need to update the employee’s pay template separately to reflect their standard working hours.

    We plan to build on this by connecting working patterns with standard hours in the pay run and supporting a broader range of working patterns. We’ll share another update as the release gets closer.

    Totally agree - this should be standard as the 'normal' working week is no longer 40 hours over 5 days Mon-Fri. Please sort this out it is so important as 90% of our workforce work part-time and this causes issues all the time!

    And yes there is a similar idea on this forum, so if you aggregate the numbers of votes for these, you will see a large number of people calling for this

    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback and for sharing your experiences with leave requests for employees who work non-standard hours.

    Later this year, we plan to release the first stage of Working Patterns in AU Payroll.

    This will allow users to set a one-week work pattern for each employee, which will automatically be used for leave and public holiday calculations in the pay run.

    This initial release will establish the foundation for supporting a broader range of working patterns in the future, including more complex or changing schedules.

    We’re moving this idea to Accepted while we explore how leave requests could work for these employees. Please continue sharing your specific scenarios, as they’ll help inform how we develop this functionality.
