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.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on this idea, community. We appreciate that having to manually select attachments on every invoice can feel a little fiddly. We get that you want a smoother workflow, that saves you time.
As noted by others in the idea, one option for now would be to add standard files, like your terms and conditions, directly to your invoice template. That way, they'll be included automatically when you send out your invoices.
To confirm how this functionality currently works - this is based on the user and driven by the last invoice that was sent. Where you have files attached, and you had selected to include files as an attachment when emailing the invoice, the next invoice you send with file attachments should have this selected by default.
A caveat to this is when you are working in incognito mode, or refresh your browser…

Hey Community, thanks for all the support shown for this idea. We understand that the core of this request is for business owners and payroll admins to be able to view, edit and complete draft timesheets.
Our product teams have carefully considered this, however we want to be upfront that developing this capability isn't on our foreseeable roadmap at this time.
The idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to gauge interest, as it will be important for when we next review our payroll priorities. Thanks again for sharing with us here, we really do value your input.

Our whole payroll held up for a day (ok became, 1st morning job to last minute as leaving for week job) after employee took ALL DAY to resubmit despite numerous requests. This is unacceptable to all as I should have been able to make the change necessary to complete the payrun. Please Xero let those holding all of the responsibility make the changes on timesheets as those not in payroll, often don't get the importance and impact of their actions on the wider workforce. I also wear about 20 hats of which payroll is one so it is imperative that it is timely and not having to wait for others.

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this. It’s clear from the support this idea has gained that automated reminders for superannuation payments could be a huge help for many of you. We hear you and can see how this could make managing your obligations smoother.
Our product team has taken a look at this and we’re exploring how we can build it in to help you stay on top of the proposed PayDay Super changes. It’s on our roadmap, and we’ll keep you posted as things move forward. 🙂

This is a similar (perhaps same) as thread AU Payroll: Leave requests for part time workers that dont work standard hours
perhaps we need to be able to link ideas so that we dont have multiple threads or tag someone so that we know that these have been seen?

This organisation has multiple employees working across multiple projects. In order to reduce time and a manual process after pay, on the pay template I have calculated the hours per project per employee within their ordinary hours and each employee receives the same amount as agreed however across multiple lines.
The issue is that the 'annual salary' in the employment details in box to top right of payslip is only calculated on the first line which has caused confusion with employees, banks etc. I haven't even gotten to a group certificate yet so I don't know how its going to calculate this.
Please Xero would you put in a function where we can group the Ordinary Time earnings together to calculate properly instead of having to do journals after the fact.

Hi community, thanks for the strong support in being able to attach files within Xero Payroll, both for employee records and pay runs. We really appreciate you sharing the value and efficiency this could create for you when working with Xero. It's evident that being able to store important documents like licenses, sick notes, and onboarding papers directly in Xero would remove the need for external storing systems or manual processes.
We acknowledge it's not the end goal but wanted to highlight the use of apps, as some have shared like Dext, to help bridge this gap in the meantime.
I want to assure you that enabling attachments in payroll is part of our long-term intentions. However, to deliver this functionality effectively and reliably, we first need to develop some foundational elements within our payroll platform.
We understand your frustration with the timeline and the limited updates, and we're…

Hey everyone, we thank you for the detailed feedback on improving how leave requests work for part-time employees in Australian payroll.
We understand the value of shifting the task of adjusting hours to employees, freeing up payroll administrators’ time for other priorities and we also appreciate the points raised around accuracy and compliance.
While we don’t have current plans to deliver exactly what’s been suggested here, our product team is continuing to focus on developing working patterns within AU Payroll. Based on what we’ve seen in other regions, this'll likely address many of the needs discussed here.
We’ll move this idea to Not in pipeline for now, but we’ll keep you posted on any updates that could help achieve what’s being asked.

I have just been told by Xero support that an hours template has not been requested yet here it is!
All staff in this business are on different part time agreements. Every time there is a public holiday or leave, its a manual calculation & then checking to make sure nothing has been missed. Christmas & new year was an overly manual and time consuming process with the annual leave & public holidays
I dont think its enough to push me onto Xero Me & hope employees do timesheets correctly as there is also the factor of Time off in Lieu (TOIL or TIL) for extra hours worked
Please xero create a roster like system where we can enter employee ordinary days & hours which will then remove the error prone, manual system that only accounts for Monday - Friday, 8 hrs a day

I hope this is coming sometime VERY soon as I cant read the responses from Xero.
this (along with a few other reasons) that I havent got my workforce using XeroMe yet
