Hi everyone, we appreciate you taking the time to share how important more flexible payroll permissions are for your teams.
It's clear that having granular control over who can access different parts of payroll would make a real difference to how you manage timesheets and leave approvals, as well as restrict access to other sensitive areas.
From research, Payroll is definitely an area we know needs more permission controls for varying roles. This is something our product teams are beginning to explore and do deeper research of. We'll keep you updated as we make progress, and we're grateful for your continued input.

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.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your support on this idea.
We've been following your comments and recognise that having a streamlined way to get timesheets from a spreadsheet into Xero Payroll would be a huge time saver.
As noted by others in this thread, one option is to explore some of the connected time-tracking apps in the Xero App Store. While we know this isn't a perfect substitute for a direct import feature, it may help bridge the gap in the meantime.
The good news is that we see the value this feature would provide and we want to explore it further. We'll change the status of this idea to Accepted.
We appreciate your patience, we’ll provide any further updates right here.

Thanks for the great discussion and all the votes on this idea. We know that without the ability to set specific leave approvers, it can be harder to keep governance clear, avoid self-approval and ensure requests go to the right person.
While we’re not planning to develop dedicated approval workflows in the near term, we want to share a tip that many have found useful. You can help streamline the process by guiding employees to select their direct manager from the approver list. While all payroll admins and leave approvers are listed, this step helps make sure requests reach the right person and keeps oversight clear.
Your feedback here is incredibly valuable for future planning and we’ll continue to keep an eye on this idea’s traction. We’ll keep it open for voting and will share any updates if plans change down the track.

This is particularly when Directors are paid from company and do not want staff access to their payroll information.

Can we have the ability to set authorisation levels in payroll so that payroll "officers" can have authorities allocated by "employee". The intention to have payroll officers do tasks such as timesheet updating etc with restrictions to employees as allocated.

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