Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on allowing authorised employees to approve timesheets. We appreciate you sharing how having managers approve timesheets without full payroll access could help streamline processes.
Our product team is currently exploring more granular permission levels in payroll, so we’ve moved the idea to Accepted.
Although this isn't currently on the roadmap, we'll keep you updated as things progress. Thanks for your continued input.

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 for your strong feedback on logging start and end times in NZ Payroll timesheets. We understand some of you are currently using workarounds or additional softwares to track start and end times.
I'm pleased to let you know we're moving this idea to In discovery, which means the product team is now reviewing the viability of this feature. This is an important step as we explore what it would take to bring this functionality to NZ Payroll and how it could best serve your needs.
We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

Hey all, it’s been a little while since this was raised, so I wanted to check in.
Payroll is definitely an area we know needs more permission controls. This is something our product teams are beginning to explore and do deeper research of.

Thanks for your support and joining in this idea. We get the challenges involved in manually chasing up employees to complete timesheets each pay period.
Although it's not the integrated solution you’re looking for, you could look to set up recurring calendar events or using external communication tools to prompt your team members.
We want to be transparent that we don't have any plans for adjusting the existing notifications for timesheets.
We'll continue to monitor this idea, and should our priorities shift in the future we'll let everyone know here.

Those of us managing payroll are entitled to extended periods of leave as well. If we are the sole payroll administrator this often means preparing payruns in advance. This is a critical change Xero needs to make.

Important for a range of times including Xmas/New Year and when either the payroll officer or staff member are going on leave.

To be able to give someone access to approve timesheets (in the same way as leave requests) without any other payroll admin rights.
