Changes and New Features in Canadian and US Payroll
What's New in Version 5.6 17
• Users have access only to the employees on selection lists assigned to
them, which can be all employees or only the employees included in
their main selection list.
• Employee Finders on forms and reports list only the employees
assigned to the user.
• Selection List Finders show only the selection lists assigned the user.
• When a user adds a new employee, the employee record is
automatically added to their main selection list. It is also added to any
selection list to which their main list belongs (for example, the
supervisor's main selection list).
If Employee Level Security is turned off, selection lists work exactly as in
previous versions of Payroll.
Employee Level Security affects all US Canadian Payroll forms that include
employee information, except for the following:
• Payroll Checks
• Process Manual Checks
• Post Manual (ATF) Checks
• EFT-related processes, forms, and reports
• Data Integrity checks of US Canadian Payroll data
Note: Employee Level Security imposes no restrictions on Sage
Accpac programs that integrate with US Canadian Payroll, such as
Bank Services, Project and Job Costing, or General Ledger.
