Payroll Feature Admins

Payroll Feature Admins

A Payroll Feature Admin is an employee assigned to the Payroll feature under Global and Feature Admins. While acting as a Feature Admin, they can perform payroll administrative tasks for the subgroups they are assigned.

Full Payroll navigation (including Run Payroll, History, and Subgroups) requires Salaries under Data Visibility when the Feature Admin is assigned. Without Salaries, they can still open Settings (Earning Types, Deduction Types, and Email).

Payroll Feature Admin capabilities:
  1. Run Payroll (requires Salaries)
  2. View Payroll History (requires Salaries)
  3. View, add, and delete Earning Types
  4. View, add, and delete Deduction Types
  5. View and adjust Payroll Email settings
  6. View and configure assigned Payroll Subgroups (requires Salaries)
  7. View employee pay stubs (requires Salaries)
For step-by-step instructions to assign a Feature Admin, see Feature Admins.

Note: Feature Admins cannot see themselves in the employee listing when logged in as a Feature Admin.
