Ideas for improving the Xero Payroll APIs

← Payroll API

Allow the viewing of all leave applications

Currently the LeaveApplications endpoint in the Payroll API only lets you see approved leave applications. I believe it should show all leave applications (awaiting approval, approved, rejected) with an appropriate status for each.

A use case for this is to develop an automated shared calendar that lists all leave for an organisation, with leave awaiting approval in as "tentative" and approved leave in as "confirmed", allowing all employees to see at a glance if someone else is taking leave at the time they're going to request.

    This is a critical feature! I also need to automate leave approval process and I need to know when leave has been requested.

    This is a critical feature! Right now our linked systems cannot tell if a leave application is deleted - unless we regularly compare the entire list.

    Trying to automate the leave approval process by detecting "clashes" with pending leave applications and this is quite important for that. Bit odd it's not there in the first place actually.

    Need this feature to create Leave Requests without bypassing the approval process

  • Steve Butler commented  ·   ·  Report

    This seams a pretty basic function of a leave endpoint and I am disappointed that Xero have decided to leave such data out of the endpoint

  • Justin Dixon commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is pretty important.

    Need to know the difference between leave approved, pending and rejected.

    Need this and the ability to alert on new requests

    Bump. This would be a fantastic feature and solve the missing piece of the puzzle. Highly valued!
    Thankyou for taking this feedback on.

    I've been looking for the same functionality and a link to Google Calendar - currently we have to do this as a manual process. Good one to do.

    This is a fairly basic functionality when you touch on employee leaves. Surprised there is no action taken on this request by Xero !

    I'd like this because I want to create a tool to easily review/approve applications through the API.

  • Peter Sawyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    We definitely require more than what is delivered.

    I personally would ignore items with "awaiting approval" and "rejected", but I really do need the ones that are "approved" because these will sit there until the pay date before the Payroll Admin gets to them to put them into a "scheduled" status, which is a bit late when trying to add to a calendar.

    Using a get modified since will mean we will get the record again at a later date, with "scheduled" or "completed", but no harm there.

    Hi, we also require this to be enabled so that we can integrate with Outlook properly.
