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 everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. We agree that streamlining leave approvals would be a time saver. However, approving leave directly via email raises some security concerns. Allowing updates to sensitive payroll records without a secure login creates risks around unauthorised access.
While we do have upcoming improvements planned in the leave space, approving leave via email won't be part of those changes. Currently, approvers can easily review and approve leave requests on the go using the Xero Me app.
Thank you again for your input and understanding.

it will be so handy to have a custom date payroll RUN option ( so like weekly, fortnightly, monthly, custom...) , as for example here in Australia, we are approaching the end of the financial year, and many companies are a fortnight payroll, like mine, so we wanted to do 1 payroll covering the last 3 weeks in JUNE
So because XERO system cannot allow custom date, we will have to do either 3 payroll ( weekly pay) or 1 fortnight pay + 1 week pay - for all employees.
thank you

very important to select specific days for part time employees who works certain days in the week, which fall on public holiday.
As currently if (for example) the employee works on Tuesday & Wednesday and a public holiday fall in that week on Monday, the system automatically add the public holiday rate and payment, however he doesn't work on Monday! so I've to adjust it manually.
