Super easy to use, but inflexible

The system itself is very easy to use. However, it has no flexibility for anyone who doesn't work 9-5 Monday-Friday. Majority of the clients we do payroll for do not work the usual hours, and so Xero Payroll is not appropriate for us or them. It also lacks necessary features around public holidays. We have asked for improvements in all these areas, but Xero have stated they will not be making these improvements. If you have a basic, simple payrun this may be ok for you. Anything that may be considered 'unusual' (staff that work varying hours, weekend workers, etc) this will not be the best system for you.

Xero payroll

Way to onerous to transfer payroll over. History by employee has to be entered manually by week in order to get leave calculations correct.

Nightmare

Annual leave calculations are a nightmare. WE only have 2 staff... but they are a bit flexi and don't work the same hours each day. The fact that is common nowadays and Xero STILL has not enabled people to have varied working hours across different days, is absurd! Creates an admin nightmare.... not worth the hassle
