Leave that knows the rules. Payroll that stays in step.
Leave accrues as people work, long service leave follows each state's rules, and unusual requests route to the right person automatically. Connect Xero Payroll for a two-way sync with a proper review, and give your accountant a workspace of their own.
- 1Employee requests, over by 1.5 days
- 2Manager endorses
- 3Out-of-policy approver decides
- 4Balance updated
The request is flagged as over balance. After the manager endorses it, your out-of-policy approver makes the call.
Try each scenario, then slide the years of service. Sample data, real screens.
The detail, because the detail is the point.
Accrual that is actually progressive
Balances build from the start date or the latest opening balance, so what people see is what they have earned.
State-based long service leave
Entitlements follow VIC, NSW, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT rules, using each location's state.
Routing that thinks
A request over balance goes to the manager, then to your out-of-policy approver. Family and domestic violence leave stays private and goes straight to HR.
Approve as unpaid
HR can approve a request as unpaid without touching the balance, and Xero is told the right way.
Xero, with a review first
Connecting starts a guided review: match people, compare details field by field, link leave types. Nothing syncs until an admin finishes it.
A workspace for your accountant
External accountants get a Payroll workspace with actions to tick off and an employee register to export, and nothing else.
Simple on purpose.

About time off, payroll & xero
Does it replace Xero?
No. PeopleTeam owns requests, approvals and pay changes. Xero owns pay runs and balances, and the two stay in step.
Can our accountant see everything?
No. They see payroll-relevant data only, never performance or engagement.
