You can use Employee Level Security in U.S. Payroll to restrict the employees that a user can view or process on Payroll forms and reports. For example, the employee payroll and management payroll can be processed by different users, so that junior payroll clerks cannot see upper management pay information.
On many windows in the payroll program, users can select employees or view employee information. When Employee Level Security is turned on, users can see and print only the employees assigned to them. For example, the employee Finder on windows would show only the employees assigned to the current user. Reports would include only the employees assigned to that user.
Assigning Access Types to Payroll Users
-
All Employees. Provides access to all employees.
-
Selection Lists. Restricts a user's access to employees that are included on that user’s main selection list.
Administrative users (with the ADMIN/MASTER user ID) have unrestricted access to employees.
The User Security Setup report indicates the access type assigned to each user and any main selection list or reporting lists.
Note: Employee Level Security is contained within U.S. Payroll but it does not restrict user access to U.S. Payroll forms. For effective security, you should use Employee Level Security only in conjunction with Sage HRMS or Sage 300 database security, as applicable.
