Allow employees to enter start and finish times into timesheets
In our industry there are penalty rates before/after certain times and days, and employees shouldnt be responsible for working out which pay item they are to be paid.
We also have a lot of junior staff who would have no clue and they just need to enter their start time, break time and finish time and then allow the payroll officer to convert this into which rates apply.
Add-ons are way too expensive on top of the cost of Xero, especially when you have more than 10 employees.
This would also save a lot of double entering (timebooks, then xero) and would also allow the payroll to be worked on from any location. Our payroll officer currently has to drive an hour to pick up timebooks, enter them and drive home whereas she could just do from home if all the times were entered online!

As this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/
