Once you have created payroll categories (see Creating payroll categories) and an employee card (see Creating employee cards), you can enter the employee’s payroll information.
If you want to prevent a user from editing and viewing all payroll details, you need to restrict access to payroll reports as well as to employee card information and to the Payroll command centre functions. You can set these restrictions in the access profile of each user ID. For more information, see ‘Managing user accounts’.
