Firstly, thank you for all the support and detailed input on this idea. We know an automated Leave Liability Report could be a valuable tool for accurately reflecting a business’s financial position in AU Payroll.
While it’s not something we’re planning to build in the immediate future, we’ve seen some useful suggestions from the community, such as using manual journal entries or tracking in spreadsheets, though we recognise these aren’t perfect solutions.
We appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into sharing your feedback. While we’re moving this idea to Not in pipeline for now, we’ll continue to monitor its traction and share any updates if plans change.

Hey team, 👋 "Can I take this holiday?" - Now, we know this is one of the most common questions employees ask, and it's one we'd like to be able to help you solve with Xero Payroll.
We'd love your help in shaping the future of Leave projections in Xero - As a start, please share any detail about;
- What information you normally need for calculating future leave balances currently?
- What would you need to see or understand to trust that the projected balance is accurate?
We're also looking to set up a research session to dive deeper into your current process and explore options wth us - If you'd be willing to give some time, take a few minutes to fill in our survey📝 and we'll be in touch in the coming days. Thanks!

This is critical. Staff need to be able to plan their own future leave and the payroll administrator should not have to do a manual calculation each time a staff member asks how much leave they will have in 1 2 6 or 8 months time.
Separately, the organisation needs a future leave liability report for reporting and leave management. Currently it has to be done on an excel spreadsheet.
Looks like the original request here was in August 2022... When will a decision be made about this feature and how long will it take to implement?

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.

It is essential to be able to forecast leave for staff without having to revert to an excel spreadsheet, and for future balance sheet forecasting.
