This would be very helpful to our business - we would like to give different managers access to different employees (not all) payroll information so they can manage those that report to them and not see other employee payroll information.

Authorised leave approvers (with no other payroll access) should have the ability to change the leave type (e.g. from annual leave to unpaid leave) for leave applications submitted by employees. Additionally, could leave approvers have access to view previously approved leave so they can keep track of how much leave their staff are taking?

Provide admin staff access to timesheets and leave but not to view all sensitive employee financial information. At present we either provide admin with payroll access and they can see employee remuneration which is not ideal, or we can use our admin staff to do admin work (NOT IDEAL).

Having the ability to allow some employees payroll admin access but only for certain employee groups is a must. For example, we payroll both our internal staff and our casual staff. We need one of our internal staff to be able to process payruns for our casual staff but to do so they would then have access to our internal staff's data.

This is not what is needed. A function that allows certain staff payroll admin access to certain employee groups is a must

It would be really helpful if there could be more separation in user permissions.
We have an Admin Team that has the authority to approve leave in our office but does not have the authority to complete other payroll activities - pay runs, view/change pay templates, etc.
Currently Xero does not allow for this separation in permissions so we cannot have this setup correctly in our office

Totally agree with this, i require an additional person for weekly payroll but do not wish them to have access to managers pays.

I agree, it is very important for companies to have a degree of security around who has access to payrolls
Separate Payrolls and access should be a priority for Xero to secure payrolls that we the clients are asking for.

Agree with this! I think its very important

yes, please, we would like to have option that someone could do all the timesheets, leave approval without the access to staff's salary info.

Update, yes please do this urgently. As Lynda below pointed out, it is causing employees stress and concern as they see a list of approvers, don't remember who to select so send it to everyone.

Yes please - this is so annoying

Yes, please do this. My accountant and bookkeeper (Payroll Admins) are getting plagued by timesheet approval requests from staff inadvertently selecting the wrong approver.
Time spent trying to re-educate all the staff that make the mistake is starting to add up in cost and frustration.

Split the Payroll Admin role so you can have staff run payroll and reports - but do not have access to make changes to Salaries etc

Or have it that all changes to key items like Salary has dual approval or alerts sent out to the main user so they can see if any changes have been made without permission

This is so vital to us that we will probably go with another software provider.

It would be great if there were different levels of payroll admin access. i would like certain managers of the business to see leave requests from all staff, not just ones sent directly to them, but i don't want them to be able to access the payroll information. AKA wages and banking details. More flexibility with the levels of access is very important to me.

A Head of HR should be able to access employees details (their Taxes, payslips, super etc..) without being able to see the bank account of the company and how much there is in it. Currently the 'Payroll admin' role gives access to bank account too, there needs to be an option to remove this access.

This needs to be addressed urgently. Employees freak out when they see different options for approvers. (e.g. off-site accountants and advisors)

This is an important issue for us and we support Xero changing this.

I would love to give a staff member Invoice Only access for business, and Payroll Admin access. They have taken over payroll processing from me, but also work in sales, so need to be able to raise Sales Invoices. However I don't need/want them to be able to view bank account balances & details or bank rec etc.

The access rights are crazy limited. I want to grant managers so they can enter leave for their direct reports, but they can only do this with Payroll admin rights which allows them to see everyone else's pay information
