Xero do not listen to Customers

I agree that the system itself is easy to navigate, however the new changes in invoicing are clumpy, and time consuming, there is no longer a record of emailing of invoice history, purchase orders copied to invoice come over with our cost prices, not the retail. Just to name a few issues with it. It's just no longer effective and many of their customers are giving feedback of this - still Xero are not listening and forcing this change onto customers who are not happy, and lump a price increase on us to boot. Also to add that you can never speak to a person direct to sort issues, there is no-one to phone. Just have to log an email and wait it out.

Not worth it

Whilst the overall system itself is easy to use, look at, understand, they have major failures for companies that dont work set hours. Firstly, the payslips have confused all our staff as they show Holiday pay in $$ then converts to Annual Leave in hours after 12 months, also the Alternative Leave is in hours too which means you have to mind this manually to follow the law. We have also discovered the biggest flaw being Annual Leave (for no reason at all) is not calculated using the hours entered into timesheets or payslips, instead it is calculated based off the base/minimum hours you set in their payslips, which is only changed/set when you change their pay rate. Worst off, these failures have been told to them time and time again in the Xero community and they have STILL not made any changes, instead they send help pages that tell you to calculate everything manually. We are looking to change payroll again after 2.5 yrs of overpaying AL. NOT HAPPY
