AU Payroll - Suggestion for improvement: Include 'Description' field in Leave Request report
We use the description field to identify when staff use different types of leave that reduce the PL balance, but require tracking - Moving Days, Wellbeing Days, Special Leave etc. Being able to include these descriptions in the Leave Request report enables us to keep track more efficiently.

I use the description field on leave requests to give a reason for the leave taken. If staff query my records, I can answer with more detail. For example, if they have run out of Sick Leave and have opted to use Annual Leave to top up their pay that week, I would record on the Annual Leave request with the description "Sick Leave balance zero". To have a field that is open for entry but not available on reports is highly frustrating and quite sub-standard for the likes of Xero. It is such a basic thing to fix. I transitioned from MYOB years ago. Even they had the field available on reports back then. For auditing purposes, this field needs to be available on reports now.
