What users say

“The Planday/Xero connection reduces hours and hours of payroll time. This reduces space for human error and manual work spent inputting data. There is a full employee overview available prior to syncing to confirm records, and then it feeds into your selected pay run, ready for processing.”

  • Charles Wells, People Coordinator – Pasta Evangelists

“We came from a system that tried to do it all, but pretty badly. Planday & Xero’s integration was a big factor in making sure we had right systems for the job.”

  • Kevin Edwards, Managing Director – Meddyg Care

Less than useless. 1 star is too many.

If you have money and time to waste, and are looking for new problems on the daily, this is the roster management app for you! Every week that I (try to) run payroll there is a new suprise for me in a setting that has reset itself, a new bug, a new issue that Planday has synced into Xero. This week I had staff's rates of pay over-ridden so I'm overpaying them, and the timesheet approval function for the week in question is unavailable, every week. The fun part is that the previous and current week are always available. I've been using Planday for 3 months now and not a single persisting issue has been resolved. I keep getting told that the issue is "being looked into". Great! Problem is, nothing works and I'm told every week - Sorry, you'll have to do this payroll manually. I didn't pay for that?

Lacks Simple Timesheet Function

I can see the potential of this app with it's integration with Xero, but a simple 'add timesheet' option would make it worth while. The chat support just send links to their support docs.
