UK Payroll - Access to communal time off calendar for employees

UK Payroll- Access to a communal time off calendar for all employees.
As a smaller business we try to have one employee off at a time where possible- it would be hugely useful if they could access a shared leave calendar in the same place as they request leave & submit timesheets from. This would pull data from my admin overview calendar and stop me having to create external calendar in iOS and another in android which leads to missing data etc and wasted holiday requests. They could see if the leave they want is available prior to the request.

    When managing your workforce it is imperative that you can have an overview of all leave to ensure that your business is not dramatically affected at any point. A communal calander would allow much better visibility when approving holiday and planning for additional cover if a shortfall of labour is seen.

    It would be so useful to have a communal calendar so that other staff can see what holiday has already been booked. I appreciate there are other apps, but it would be good if Xero had the functionality instead of paying for another app.

    Can you please set up a visible calendar where you can add a block - ie paid holiday, SSP, SMP and we can have a visual as well?
    Currently we have to use a separate programme to have a visual image of who's on paid lave / unpaid leave / off sick etc, duplicating work on another programme.
    Thanks

    It would be good to be able to give department managers the ability to approve leave, but also be able to see who is on leave (currently and in the future) to help better manage their departments leave requests. At the moment they can only see who is on leave with payroll rights, but I don't need then to have payroll rights, only visibility on the annual leave bookings.

    This would be a really great feature, along with a btter overview calendar for managers. Surprised it's not ther already.

    Create a time off (holiday) calendar - to more easily monitor holidays.
    Make it possible to set your holiday year - according to business needs/arrangements (for example April-March instead of Jan - Dec).
    Make it easier to see when staff are off
    Make it easier to see how many days have been taken
    Make it easier to see how many days left to be taken
