Payee Security
This topic discusses payee security by HR and group.
Payee payroll data is sensitive information because it often contains pay-related information. Global Payroll provides payee-level security that restricts the payees that a user can view.
Global Payroll delivers the standard HR security. Payee-level security affects all Global Payroll reports as well as every component, search record or view, and prompt record and view that contains the EMPLID field. All components that are entered with an employee ID contain payee-level security.
A security tree is used to limit the payees that a user can view or report on.
The following tables indicate payee-level security by menus and components.

Element usage is based on Country of the Payee, which is based on the Pay Entity that is associated with the Pay Group: To determine Payee Country, the system retrieves the payee's pay group from the JOB record. Then it retrieves the Pay Entity for the Pay Group and looks at the Country. If a JOB row cannot be found, the country used is the one associated with the user that has logged in. This is the country from the User Rules Profile data for that user. Used By = All Countries Or Used By = Specific Country, and Country matches Payee Country. The Element Assignment By Payee component enables you enter a category first to narrow the list of elements to those matching the specified category. Categories shown are those that are valid for the country of the payee. In addition, Payee Override must be selected on the Element Name page for an element to appear. Supporting Element Overrides - element usage is based on Payee Country: If Element Country = All Countries, then Used By = All Countries. If Element Country = Specific Country, then Used By = Specific Country, and Country matches Payee Country. |
