Timesheets: Allow non-employees to submit timesheets for reimbursement
I think it would be great to have a submit for approval option in timesheets on the web version just like you can with invoices and bills. I am a third party bookkeeper and therefore Xero Me isn't really an option because, I am not an employee so I can't really use Xero me and if a timesheet is submitted by an employee, it has to be sent to me for approval for editing to ensure it comes through to payroll correctly for processing as an approved timesheet cannot be edited in payroll. Not all staff are tech savvy and not all payroll and awards are straightforward so a bookkeeper is involved to ensure payroll is processed correctly. Currently, my client would like to approve the timesheets digitally before I process the payroll as they are on the road most of the day, so them using Xero Me is a great option, but a non-employee, like a bookkeeper can't use it. We are trying to streamline our payroll processes however the current set up isn't working for us and it would be great to have more than one option for submitting timesheets for approval.

We have employees who we need to enter the timesheets for, who are not users on Xero. The option only allows employees who are users on Xero to enter timesheets. It would be beneficial for employees who are not users of Xero to have their timesheets captured by an admin person
