    Hi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback about managing working patterns for part-time employees.

    We’re pleased to share that we plan to begin rolling out working patterns in AU Payroll later this year.

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

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

    hi guys

    you emailed me advice that this had been fixed - but it seems only for NZ. if you can do it there can you PLEASE fix it for us in Australia.

    I've written to you about it before, and filled in feed back forms about it. It is critical and obviously something that can be easily sorted if it has been implemented elsewhere . Apparently KELLY MUNRO fixed it.

    Hi everyone, you can now create new working patterns for employees which allow you to add in the specific days and hours they are contracted to work!

    This improves the default hours used in calculations around public holidays, leave requests, the first pay, the last pay and when working patterns change during the pay period. Thanks again for all your feedback on this here.

    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.
