Some of our international clients have managers in remote offices who need to have full control over HR Locker – but only for their office. Making one of these managers an “Admin” would allow them to see and do everything. Ideally, they could act as an Admin but only for their office, or only for their immediate sub-ordinates.
The solution was to create a set of permissions that could be applied to any manager to allow them to effectively become an Admin for their office, or for their direct reports.
To set this up you’ll need to log in from an Admin account, select View Profile for the relevant manager and go to Permissions. You’ll see the option: “Provide this Manager with Admin right for specified sections”. Select Yes and then use the drop down menus underneath to customise it as you wish.
You’ll see the following info:
Provide this manager with Admin level access for the following functions: Yes/No
On yes then:
Select which functions from the list below you want to enable Admin level access for this manager.
For entire office – covers employees in the same office as the manager and the managers direct reports irrespective of their office
For subordinates only – covers only employees that report directly into the manager
TimeOn – Allows this manager to approve or reject timesheets from relevant employees even if that employee has their timesheets set to be approved by a different manager
TimeOff – Allows this manager to approve or reject all TimeOff requests and make manual adjustments even if the employee has their TimeOff approved by a different manager
Reports – Allows this manager to create and view reports for all of the relevant employees
HR Docs – Allows this manager to add, edit, archive, delete and publish documents to all relevant employees
Directory – Allows this manager to add, edit, delete and view ALL information about relevant employees. Please note that this will allow the manager to potentially see sensitive HR data.
Settings – Allows this manager to edit Settings related to their own office. This includes the ability to modify TimeOff, TimeOn and contact details for the office.
This is probably one of the more complex customisations we’ve implemented. We’d love to hear what you think of it.
