AU Payroll - Set up multiple auto super authorisers
Having multiple people as a Super Authoriser would be helpful when the 1st person goes on leave.
Thanks for continuing to share your feedback and engage with us through this idea, everyone.
We recognise the importance of providing greater flexibility when managing the authorisation of super payments, particularly now that Payday Super is in effect.
I’m pleased to share that we’re working on an update to authorisation for Xero Payroll’s auto super.
You’ll soon be able to nominate a list of eligible authorisers when setting up auto super or editing an existing registration. Each super payment will still require approval from one person, but you’ll be able to select which nominated authoriser receives the SMS code for that payment.
We’ll share another update as soon as this is available.

When the new feature is released, would it also be possible to receive the authentication code by email as an alternative option? Looking forward for the change. Thanks

Thanks Kelly.
Appreciate the work going into this.
Just wondering if the development will allow authorisers to approve from their Xero app or will it remain desktop version only? The app would great a great add for flexibility.
Thanks.

You also need to be able to select a future date for the Super to be payable. Most of my clients wage runs are done in advance so currently the Super is getting paid BEFORE the wages are

You also need to change how approval codes are received. This would also alleviate the need for multiple Approvers. Why does this seem to be such a problem that you are ignoring?

The priority is add more ways to approve, not SMS only.

Was told this was coming many months go, is there a rough ETA, other than "next quarter"?

@ Phillip Bennett - so if you are outback and have no reception, how are you going to pay your staff? If you have arranged for someone else to run your payroll, surely you can transfer the super authorisation to them also prior to you leaving?

Well i will be in the outback in august so not much good for my business when i have no reception as me being the only authorised user and unable to process the payday super, very frustrating not being able to do this before i go on holidays as we had 12 months to prepare according to the ATO, so very frustrating that its not up to speed with small business as the ATO are ruthless as you may be aware.

Hi All I had an update screen (something else new) pop up when I logged into XERO this morning, and when I looked around in there, right toward the bottom, our dreaded super authority issue was covered. This is set to be released in AUGUST to allow TWO people to be authorised and payroll processor can choose who is available to process the authorisation of the super. Hopefully the other request of choosing a forward date might also be covered but wasn't mentioned.

We definitely need this feature as soon as possible. Agree with Nicki Washburn's comment today. If the authorizer is sick, overseas, then we will be at risk of being fined. This has been forced upon companies due to the new rules for Payday Super. Please make this a priority.

This feature is critical now with same day super, I was off sick with the flu (absolutely bedridden) super has only just been done today for last weeks payroll. We are at risk of being fined due to lack on insight here to same day super law and logistics.

The other game changer that is necessary would be to allow authoriser to use xero app to authorise the payment.
Only the desktop version can be currently used. I cannot take a laptop on holiday just to hit the authorise button on super each week. It has already been an inconvenience when I was away on confererence.
Thanks for investigating this. It should hopefully be a simple win.

This should have been an automatic extension for anyone designated with payroll access as the payday super is now a necessary part of weekly payroll.
The fix definitely needs to be actioned as a matter of urgency as no one plans for accidents or illness in advance. -

In addition to multiple approvers, can we please be able to schedule the super to be debited on a future date. Eg we prepare the wages day before payday, and we can schedule super to come out the next day.

additional approvers is a bandaid fix, we should still be able to get the code to email and not just have it only go to a phone number

With the introduction of Payday Super we are already experiencing issues with only 1 approver! This is now critical for our company.
