Access to payslips after termination - Sage 50 Payroll UK integration only
If you want ex-employees to still be able to access their payslips in Sage HR Online Services after their termination date, you can set it so they can access it after 7 days, 30 days, or a year.
More customisation to employee permissions
Employee users are automatically assigned as 'Employee' in your list of permission roles.
You can further configure what this 'Employee' role can do or access via Settings > Permissions > Permissions > Select Employee.
For example, if you want an employee user to only be able to see employees in their own team in the Company Directory, rather than anyone.
