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.Thomas Hayes

Hey folks, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding timesheet reminders ⏰
We understand that the ability to easily remind employees to fill out timesheets would make things easier and save you time.
Our product team is currently investigating potential solutions for this but at this early stage there are no specific time frames available. We’ll be sure to let you know if there’s any change, though!Thomas Hayes

This is a very frustrating default listing.
I see all my timesheets awaiting approval and then next in line are timesheets from when I first started Xero - years ago!! Who the heck cares about a timesheet from years ago?
Why is it top of the list instead of bottom? Forever wanting to check last timesheets for multiple staff and have to keep redoing the order on 'last edited' for every employee that I need to check.
I have come close to giving up on Xero numerous times just because of this annoying feature. For what should be a very small change on the back end - why is it seeming to be preferable for Xero to frustrate the living heck out of their customers? Yes, I get super frustrated every fortnight when I have to do timesheets. Mostly because it is simply faulty programming that could be easily fixed. I only have 24 staff (We are a computer support provider) and it irritates me. I cannot start to understand how people with 50+ staff must feel.
I'm guessing that by the time I reach 30 staff I will be moving to a different accounting platform just to avoid these needless frustrations. My time is valuable to me. Not to anyone else, but certainly to me!And, yes, a 'workaround' is to set the date field in the view for the last two fortnights (Not proposed by Xero staff when I have followed this default listing issue up), and yes I use that recently discovered workaround, but it is still extra hassle that is not required.
Please Xero, get this sorted.
It is basic common sense that recent timesheets are more likely to be looked at than ones from 2015!!!Thomas Hayes

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 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.

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. 🙂

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.
