    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 would be great if Xero can do. We have program managers in charge of certain staff, if it was set for them to approve their team plus have overall setting for CEO & board to approve if that program manager was away.
    Also be great as we have an Accountant with access to the payroll settings so they can access the payroll reports but they shouldn't have access to approving timesheets, leave, etc. It would be an extra security step for Xero to implement.
