Payroll will only be visible to users who have been granted rights to Payroll Master Files. Before your agency can begin using Payroll, you must setup the Payroll Master File. Items that are required to be set up before Payroll can be used are Agency Set Up, User Security, and Employee Rates and Setup. Master Files | Payroll Setup is where the Office Group can be set up with items that will be applied to the entire selected group. While these items can be overridden in the employee personnel payroll files. The Master Files setup is the foundation for the payroll functionality.
Prior to beginning set up for Payroll Master Files, ensure that the proper permissions have been granted in User Security:
1. From the Main Menu, click Administration then select User Security.
2. Click to select the applicable user in the grid.
3. Scroll down to the four Payroll areas that require setup for each employee:
● PayrollGenerate
● PayrollMasterFilesSetup
● PayrollPersonnelSetup
● PayrollReports
4. Check the empty boxes in each column to enable all applicable Security Permissions, including Allow, View, Print, Edit, and Remove.
5. Click Save.
6. Repeat steps 2-6 for each additional employee.
Use Payroll Setup to configure all of your agency's payroll items:
● Setting up Payroll Office Groups
