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.
Hi everyone, a quick update on multi-authorisation for Payday Super.
We recognise that multi-authorisation is a priority for many of you, particularly as Payday Super approaches and businesses review how they manage super payments in Xero.
Our Product team is actively working on an enhanced workflow for this, which is on track for release next quarter.
We’ll share more updates as soon as we have more to confirm.

Not all leave is planned in advance, so unfortunately not realistic 'to just switch users before you head off on leave'!
Super is taking the full 7 days from processing to land in people's super fund. This means to be compliant there can be do delay in approving, so it is essential that more than one person in a business has the ability to authorise payments.

Come on everyone, I realise this is a critical option to have and hopefully Xero will implement something soon...
But is SO EASY to switch users before you head off on leave!! We did it, simples! And switched it back when I came back from leave.
Tired of all the carry on! :) -

Definitely URGENT & CRITICAL! Surely Xero could have done better on this one considering we have known this was coming.... another one that cannot pay super due to authoriser on Annual Leave and no service...... (which they should be entitled to)
Will Xero be happy to pay our ATO fines! -

CRITICAL to have this as an option. The only approver is out of action looking after her critically ill family member and I shouldn't have to disturb them to approve super.

Please add this function to XERO - other accounting software packages already have it - it doesn't make sense to not have multiple approvers in the event that someone is away or sick

As per everyone else - I'm also on leave and got a nice wake up text with the authority code and had to do this for our company. Needs to be a priority fix as we have known this was coming for a very long time and cannot believe it wasn't on the to do list.

I just had to chase our authorized approver whilst she is overseas for super approval. Ridiculous!

I had to just do my authorisation whilst on my annual leave 😣😣😑😑. Not good enough. This needs to be fixed ASAP, not next quarter. You knew this was coming!

This is URGENT & CRITICAL. We pay wages weekly, if my boss took vacation (e.g. camping) then we are cooked.

Should be added now.. Later this year is too late. All the burden is now on firms owner to provide otp to different people and also authorise payments.
Someone people are on leave and no one can authorise that payment.

A vital update with payday super legislation.

Well, what a mess. I have clients going on holiday (winter here, so holiday season), and Xero might implement it in a year or 2.

The development team seems focused on building fancy new user interfaces which don't improve any functionality rather than concentrating on essential updates like this. How hard can it be - you've only had 18 months since users really started requesting for this feature. NOT HAPPY

My vote is as highlighted by many, it needs to happen and is already too late. Please make it happen before this quarter finishes!

This is a vital update and should be prioritised with the new changes to the law. You are maintaining Xero as a small business software (mum and dad) if you dont allow for this change.

Just adding my voice to all the others on this. This should have been actioned prior to July 1. It is vital to have more than one person in a business be able to process super now it has to be done weekly. PLEASE PRIORITISE THIS ESSENTIAL FUNCTION.

This needs to be actioned now - pay cycle super is already here!

Absolute joke that this hasnt happened yet, as a manager but not owner of the business I dont want to be having pay super while I'm on leave. Seeing this issue flagged so long ago & nothing still done about it makes me lose all confidence in Xero, will be pushing for us to upgrade to a better platform that will actually take feedback from users.

Hi I want to add my clinic manager to be able to process superannuation in case I am away. How do I add him please? This is critical as we have payday super now.
