    Not in pipeline  ·  AdminKelly Munro (Community Manager, Xero) responded

    Hey everyone, we thank you for the detailed feedback on improving how leave requests work for part-time employees in Australian payroll. 

    We understand the value of shifting the task of adjusting hours to employees, freeing up payroll administrators’ time for other priorities and we also appreciate the points raised around accuracy and compliance.

    While we don’t have current plans to deliver exactly what’s been suggested here, our product team is continuing to focus on developing working patterns within AU Payroll. Based on what we’ve seen in other regions, this'll likely address many of the needs discussed here.

    We’ll move this idea to Not in pipeline for now, but we’ll keep you posted on any updates that could help achieve what’s being asked.

    If employees are set up with 'Fixed Amount per Period' the daily hours in each leave request are calculated using the hours field from their Pay Template instead, then divided by the working days in their pay period. When employees are on a monthly salary, this can cause a fluctuation, as you have found.

    Currently, it's not possible to set a specific number of daily hours in a leave request for employees.

    This needs to be fixed ASAP - I cannot believe that all Companies that pay there employees Monthly are not jumping up and down - else they are looking at other solutions???
