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!

I agree with all the comments below. XeroMe needs a lot of work and is a surprisingly useless app for this day and age. We encourage our staff (the full timers but particularly the part-timers) to use a hard copy leave form instead of the app. Sort of defeats the purpose of the app but at least we can ensure the leave request details are entered correctly.

If someone submits a leave request months ahead of their planned leave (which is good and useful for their team to manage projected workflows) then Xero immediately takes this into account so staff may then appear to have a significant negative leave balance. Our protocol is to avoid negative annual leave balances where possible because it's a debt to the business, so we have to manually calculate what they will have accrued by the planned leave date to ensure they are as close to a positive balance as possible. And then if that staff member submits another leave request for time BEFORE their future (previously submitted) leave application they go alarmingly into negative so we have to make additional manual calculations to get the true accrual figure at the leave date/s. Don't even get me started on how we plan for the office shutdown over Christmas... So why, Xero, with all the technology you have at hand why do we still need to whip out the calculator or set up formulae in Excel to manage this??
