Hey everyone 👋 Thanks so much for all the detailed feedback on applying work patterns for part-time employees. We’ve been following the conversation and understand that manually adjusting pay runs for pro-rata entitlements can be a real challenge. It’s clear that having this automated could save time and give you greater peace of mind.
I’m pleased to let you know our product team has reviewed this idea and we’re updating the status to ‘Accepted’. This means that while it’s not on our immediate roadmap, it’s something we see real value in and want to bring into Xero when we can prioritise the work.
In the meantime, the workarounds shared here, like manually adjusting hours in each pay run, remain the best approach. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, as your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping Xero. We’ll keep you updated on any developments…

Xero why oh why must you punish the AU users please just give us this......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0urboRDBIc I tried the BETA for rostering. I am sure its great for that. I dont need to roster. I need a work pattern so my staff can apply for leave without me having to maintain a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of leave.

Please Xero implement this. Its pretty crazy that this doesn't exist. I have to manage leave requests in a spreadsheet. I have been using another finance system for several years and never imagined I would have to go back to managing leave requests this way.
The functionality already exists in other regions look up learning "Set up a working pattern template". I have been with Xero for maybe two months. this lack of functionality already has me considering leaving.

Hi community, thanks for all your discussion and votes on this idea. We can see the appetite in being able to project future leave balances in AU Payroll. We understand that you're looking for an easier way to see an employee's accrued leave for a future date, which would make planning for things like company shutdowns and approving leave requests simpler.
Our product team has taken a look at this suggestion, however building this functionality isn't on our foreseeable roadmap. For that reason, we'll be changing the status of this idea to ‘Not in Pipeline’. The idea will remain open for votes, so we can continue to gauge interest when we next review our priorities for payroll.
As some have shared - exporting and combining reports outside of Xero is one way to get the information you need, although we understand its not the solution you'd like here.
We really…

It looks like the approach from Xero in AU is try and get people to by the rostering solution to try and resolve this issue as it has some features which people are screaming for in this thread (and several other like i). I tried out the rostering solution in beta. Perhaps it could work for a large organisation with many employees and complex rostering needs or where rostering is critical. We own a hair salon and it would just add significant work. Half of our employees are part time. Time and attendance and leave management is useless in Xero without work patterns. You cannot even get staff to apply for leave. It just doesnt work. Who would have thought in 2025 where you have an AI agent that can help you with invoicing yet you need to manage your staff work patterns in a separate system and work out leave requests with a calculator.
