Hiya community, thanks for the feedback we received from our last update. This aided in the teams refinement of this work.
I'm pleased to share that this has progressed and our product team are well into development to provide the ability for Payroll admins to view an employees available leave balance for the period the employee's requesting.
We appreciate the importance of this visibility to enable businesses to make more informed decisions when approving leave.
We're going to start rolling this out very soon, and I'll be back to share when it's fully released along with more details of where and what this looks like.

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??
