Are there different user levels for login?

There are three different levels of security access that can be used together with the audit trail feature for more security "tracking" of user changes. Harvester has Three different User Access Levels : Level 5 is "Admin": The user can do all payroll functions. Level 3 is "Accounts": The user can NOT do the following: 1) Level 3 can not access and change the employee details of employees who are marked as 'Management' pay-class. 2) Level 3 can not access most of the Settings features on the settings-Page. 3) The user is also blocked from printing and exporting payslips and other reports of any salaries related to those employees who are marked with the employee pay-class called 'Management'. However the Level 3 user is still able to view and export reports of any employees NOT marked as 'Management'. Level 1 is "Basic": The user has the same restrictions as a Level 3 "Accounts" user BUT in addition the Level 1 "Basic" user can NOT do the following: 1) Access and change the employee details of ANY employee (even those who are NOT marked as 'Management' pay-class). 2) Move the payroll to the next pay-month period. 3) View or export upload Reports like NAPSA or PAYE. You need to change the 'Payment Class' of any employee whom you do NOT want the "Level 1 or Level 3 user" to see. 'Payment Class' can therefore be used to restrict Level 1 or Level 3 users from management salaries. You may specify the type of employee payment class on "Edit employees" so that employees can be sorted for payroll input capture according to their class as opposed to their department. The various options you have are: Daily: Employees paid by number of days inputted. Hourly: Employees paid by number of hours inputted. Fixed: Employees paid by a fixed basic wage salary. Management: Employees who are part of management. This last management class is important if you would like to ensure that Level 3 users of your payroll do not have access to these salaries. In the standard Harvester online package, there is a basic Audit Trail User Activities. Please Type "audit" in help and search for help on "Audit Trail User Activities". Note: Level 2 is "employee level" and allows for individual employee login to check the employee's own payslip. Note: User access does not depend on the computer. Access can be form anywhere and on any device. However there is a security log of the exact IP address of any user who logs in so user access may be monitored.
