UK Payroll - Allow Xero users permission to authorise employee timesheets
Allow Xero users permission to authorise employee timesheets. At the moment only the payroll administrator or specific employee has the ability to do this. Payroll permissions under settings/users should be expanded to be more granular, with an option to allow users permission to authorise timesheets. Alternatively, under the employee details in Payroll, an option to select authorised Xero users whom may sign off timesheets for that user.

AU Payroll, please add a layer of authorisation to Xero Users to allow non employees such as client reps the "timesheet approval only" option. In some of our labour hire contracts we need client approval for timesheets, however the only way we can give them that access is by setting them up under payroll as a "contractor - non employee". They are not employees but we cannot give them access under the "user'" settings because that will give them full access to all payroll functions. There needs to be tiered access for users, outside of payroll, similar to the "invoice only" levels for sales & purchases.

This is an issue we too are facing. We really need the ability to approve timesheets by Line Managers before being reviewed and processed by the payroll administrator. It should really be available in all of Xero Payroll not just the AU one. Its possible I think to approve Leave in a similar fashion, so why not timesheets?!

UK Timesheet Approval for employees with authority
The ability for selected managers to be allowed to approve timesheets, in a is liar way the ability to approve leave.

We have faced the same issue as well. Like the leave request, it's very crucial for the line manager to approve the timesheets and the payroll administrator can review the timesheets when processing monthly payroll. This feature is available for AU payroll and we would really like to see this for the UK payroll too!
