    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…

    Yes we have the same issue. Part time employees and Full Time who take an RDO over a fortnight or over 2 fortnights. So they work 8 x 8.5 hours and 1 x 8 hours and have a RDO on the 10th day. For annual leave and public holidays it doesn't work it out correctly. Very frustrating. Also Part time employees some work mondays and not fridays and some work a 5 day fortnight. This would be very helpful to have the option for Xero to work it out instead of having to do manually. Especially when someone else is doing my job when on holidays they not necessarily across this as I am.
