    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.

    This is a very important add on! Payroll is Payroll, you can't just offer bits and pieces and hope that everyone is happy enough to do the manual "bits" themselves. Especially finding out as they go along that what you offer isn't necessarily what a customers expectations are. Why should we have to manually account for part time rosters and know that we are calculating hours and days correctly, it's a system that should do it for us. It leaves too much room for error. We have to report to the ATO all this information, and to try and fix errors is a nightmare. Come on Xero, help us run our businesses seamlessly and efficiently! A roster for part time employees is a MUST, you can't just leave stuff out, its payroll and this forms part of payroll calculations. We pay for a service, but really only getting bits and pieces that suit you, not ideal at all!
