    User Group

    You may make use of user group under Users -> Groups to manage the grouping so you can assign an individual group to a specific person as a payroll admin accordingly.

    Note: Make sure to double check the employees that being assigned into each individual group to avoid duplicating the same employee in more than one user group.



    Understanding the permission access level

    On Assign payroll admin page,

    1. Super payroll admin
    • Super payroll admin is the payroll admin with access on "everyone" group.
    • Normally he/she has the HR permission access.
    • All payroll admins can access the payroll admin setting page, but only super payroll admin can add/edit/remove the payroll group admins.
    • If there is only ONE super payroll group admin, the admin cannot be revoked/removed from "everyone" group.

    2. Regular payroll admin

    • You may consider it as non-super payroll admin.
    • All non-super payroll group admin can only view the assign payroll admins page.
