Q: If an Owner changes an employee’s compensation setting to “Everyone”, whose compensation will the employee see?
A: Once an employee’s compensation setting has been changed to “Everyone”, the employee will have the ability to see any other employee’s compensation by visiting their profile. However, in order to generate a compensation report, an employee must be assigned the role of Admin, HR Manager, or HR Coordinator.
Q: What are the main differences between the Owner and Admin roles?
A: An Owner has the highest permission level in the system and has the ability to edit/read everything that is editable/readable. Additionally, an Owner can make changes to employee roles and compensation visibility. The Admin is granted the same permission level as an Owner, except:
The Admin cannot change other employees’ roles (or themselves) to Owners.
The Admin cannot change their own role.
The Admin cannot grant compensation visibility permission to other employees.
By default, the Admin cannot view other employees’ compensation or generate a compensation report unless an Owner grants the Admin permission to view employee compensation.
