    Hi everyone, thank you for your continued support and for sharing how valuable it is to keep employee documents in one place within Xero Payroll.

    We’re pleased to share that this feature is now rolling out in Xero Payroll for all AU customers.

    We'll be allowing Payroll Admins to upload files directly to an employee profile, securely store them against the relevant employee, and organise them into folders. They’ll also be able to view, rename, move, sort and delete files, with access restricted to Payroll Admins.

    Expanding the feature to NZ and the UK isn’t on the roadmap just yet, but it’s something we’ll continue to consider as part of longer-term improvements. We’ve created separate ideas for these regions and added relevant voters from the idea here.

    We’ll return to share another update once the Australian release is…

    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.

    With monthly payroll I know that we can edit or submit leave requests from staff, but I do not understand why this needs to be done. We have said in the payroll settings and also in the employee leave tab that an employee only accrues 150 hours of say Annual leave per year, so if an employee was to submit 20 days of leave it calculates as 141.3043 hours (which is not correct, it should be 150 hours). I know that it is being accrued on a calendar year and each month has a different number of days in it, but if the same monthly payroll is being processed at 162.5 hours per month - 37.5 hr week x 52 weeks = 1950 hours per year divided by 12 = 162.5 hours per month of paid hours. This is very time consuming and open to human error :(
