Enhanced Extra Pay Management

We're thrilled to announce a significant update to our Extra Pay permissions, designed to enhance flexibility and streamline your payroll processes. Previously, only users with 'Run Payroll' permissions within access level settings could manage Extra Pay on the employee profile. With this update, users such as managers can now enter employees’ additional pay directly into the employee profile, which will seamlessly flow into payroll, reducing the burden on Payroll Admins.

Here's what's new:

• Extra Pay in Access Level Settings: There is now a dedicated section for Extra Pay under the Pay Info tab in Access Level Settings.
• Custom Access Levels: The Extra Pay section for custom users include options for No Access, View, or Edit permissions.
• Manager and Employee Access Levels: The Extra Pay section can be set to No Access or View permissions.
• Enhanced Visibility: Users with 'Edit' permissions can view, add, edit, and delete upcoming extra pay and view historical extra pay, while those with 'View' permissions will see extra pay that has already been paid out.
• Default Settings: New Custom or Manager Access Levels default to 'No Access', while Employee Access Levels default to 'View'.
• Role Consistency: Payroll Admin, Full Admin, and Account Owner roles retain their 'Edit' permissions.

Tip: If you would like your managers who are only setup in a Manager Access Level to be able to edit extra pay for their employees, you can create a Custom Access Level with “Edit” extra pay permissions and assign the managers to both access levels. The user will then have the ability to edit extra pay while maintaining their regular permissions within the Manager Access Level.
