I agree, not every employer wants their employee admin person to see their working bank account and all other financial matters in their xero file.
It is critical that this function be a standalone function.

Please create the option for employees to be allowed to submit draft timesheets on behalf of another, without granting them access to the full functionality of Payroll Admin. If employees can approve another's timesheet, surely there should be an option to submit a draft one on behalf of another as well?

Junior Payroll Admin should be able to submit timesheets for approval without access to the pay rates/employee details of everyone on file. If the payroll supervisor can then approve timesheets without Admin access, then why not the position below?

It would be great to have read-only access to payroll - all of it - for auditors.
They need access to the staff files, the individual transactions and the reports - as they have with the rest of the business.

Also useful to have permission level for payroll book keeper or other staff, but to restrict some information such as Manager's salaries, etc.

I agree with Ariella's comments below. We are an accounting firm that processes payroll on behalf of our clients, which necessitates that our staff have Payroll Admin access. However, they are not part of the client organisation and it's therefore ludicrous that they have access to approve our clients' employees' leave. It's a serious design flaw in Xero Payroll and should be rectified immediately!

Be able to set up a "read only" user for payroll so that clients can review/approve payroll run documents before we as agent post the run.

If Xero could be like MYOB when it comes to payroll securities and only have certain staff have access to payroll and others to only timesheets. Pays are confidential and if you need help with timesheets they have access to all staff's payroll information. I shouldn't be all or nothing !!!

Hi Kelly, Our client is looking for someone to enter times and approve timesheets for all employees without having access to other payroll records.

In the absence of the ability to import timesheets into the payroll system from an external source (eg. excel spreadsheet) can we have specific authorities assigned to the payroll system. One being the ability to enter and approve timesheets only, without having any access to any other payroll information.

Can we have the ability to have a user only able to access and input timesheets, but not have access to payroll and reporting.

I would like to create a user role that has the ability to submit and approve leave requests on behalf of employees, but does not include Payroll Admin permissions (and therefore access to all the business' accounts).
