   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 here. 🙂

   I have been working with MYOB Acumatica where we set up a work Calander for those staff that work various hours and shorter days - might be annoying to set them up but they work extremely well and taken plus accrued leave works perfectly. We are now moving to Xero where I believe AP & AR works well, but I am very concerned that there are no work patterns to accommodate these variations, saying we need to do manual adjustments is very archaic. If this is already available in the UK, then why is it not available here in Australia. This needs to be brought up to a priority.
