    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.

    Add a tick box to the Payroll admin user so an admin user doesnt appear in the Xero me as an approver for the timesheet.
    Example: The accounting practice have multiple staff with payroll advisor access. All of these staff in the accounting practice are coming up as a selection in the approval person list in xero me as the employee submits their time sheet. Can we untick or remove the staff from the approval list without compromising their access from an accounting practice level?
