Configuring pay group security

Pay group security relies on limiting access to the pay group during the Pay Close period. Initially, a pay group cannot be accessed by any users during the Payroll Close process.

You can specify users to act as payroll administrators. These administrators can access pay group information during the Payroll Close process. You can specify payroll administrators when editing or creating the pay group. See Creating or editing pay groups.

Before you add payroll administrators to a pay group, be sure that those users are part of a security group that gives them access to the Payroll Close Wizard.

To specify which users have access to a pay group during the Payroll Close process:

  1. Select Maintenance > Payroll Settings > Payroll Close > Pay Group.
  2. Click Edit next to a pay group to edit that pay group. The Edit Pay Group page is displayed.
  3. Select the users who can access and edit the pay group during the Payroll Close process using the Payroll Administrators lookup.
  4. Click Save.
