AU Payroll - History of leave requests

REQUESTING LEAVE
Firstly, when an employee is submitting a leave application, they are unable to adjust the number of hours they are taking when submitting this leave when the leave period is for more than one day. This is problematic for part-time employees that may work different hours on different days of their working week.
RECORD/HISTORY OF LEAVE REQUESTS
Also, employees used to be able to see the number of hours taken but this is no longer the case - why is this?
LEAVE APPROVER ACCESS
And finally, my client has multiple entities that use Xero for payroll processing however requires employees that are employed in one entity to approve leave applications by employees in another entity. The only way that I understand this can be achieved is by setting up the approver as an 'employee' in the other entity so that they can receive these leave application requests and action as required. Is there an update to Xero coming that will allow for leave approvers to be set up as a User with leave approver access only?

    Please can this be added as a matter of urgency as this is required throughout the year for a variety of reasons - thanks!

    Currently it's not possible to see what date a leave request was made in Xero. The only hint is the leave approver may have a request in their email showing the date and time it was requested. If this email is deleted or the enquiry is from one of the other admins you can not find this information.

    Please add the date a leave request is submitted.

    COntacted support about this yesterday- they advised me to submit a Product Idea- found yours in doing so. Will start one also, but wanted to comment and vote on yours to help our case!

    It is hard work trying to work out how many days leave have been taken as they are in order submitted rather than date order. A proper report would be great but the ability to sort by date taken would at least help.

    There are no reports that show Annual Leave requests so very hard to understand status and check for queries. This has been raised as a case previously by many users. Still no response. It is getting to the point i will move away from XERO.

    As with the financial side in Xero and their history and notes section, it would be very useful to be able to track who has approved leave or timesheets in Xero Payroll. We need site on which manager has approved the leave application or timesheet to mitigate any risk of the wrong people approving these.
