There are four types of user access in PayFit. Each user type has access to different areas of PayFit within their space. The four roles are; admin, manager, employee, or accountant.

Admin

An admin has the highest level of access. The access can't be modified. An admin can:

  • Access all menus and features within PayFit

  • Create, modify or delete all PayFit users.

For more information about setting up and managing access to the admin space, please refer to our Help Centre article.

Manager

A manager has enough access to manage the requests of their team. A manager can:

  • Access a restricted dashboard with a quick view of their team's requests and calendar.

  • Validate absences and expense requests, depending on the PayFit features you enable.

  • Access employee details such as work events, salaries, etc.

Managers can access their team when they're set up as a worker's manager. Otherwise, if you're on our Standard or Premium price plan, you can create a workflow where they can access requests from workers who aren't direct reports. For more information about setting up workflows, please refer to our Help Centre article.

Employee

An employee has access to their own secure space. An employee can:

  • View their payslips.

  • Submit leave requests.

  • Request an expense reimbursement.

  • Enter their working hours.

  • View your company's organisational chart.
