It's not possible to have a different portrait photo in each org.

The following are shared between all your accounts:

  • Portrait photo.
  • Person name.
  • Nickname.
  • Signature image.
  • Interface language.
  • Login password.
  • Home and postal address.

Updated: Tue, Mar 14, 2023.
 

Use a different email for each of your orgs if you like.

However, from these different emails, you select only one to be your login email.

To switch your login email:

  2. Go to: You > Person
  3. Look for "switch login email" (down the page).

Switching your login email won't affect or change your password.

Deleting a person1:50

"How do I delete a person?" 

When you delete a person, there's checks on settings, to make sure the person's employment is properly ended. 

To delete a person: 

  1. First, select the person on:
    Menu > People
     
  2. Then click:
    More > Settings for dismiss, suspend, resign
     
  3. Then scroll down to the "Termination" heading. 
  4. And set their: Date employment ended 
  5. If the person does timesheets, you can click the link to set their end date to the date of their last timesheet. 
  6. At this point you'll be asked if you want to: "See all dismiss, suspend, resign options?" 
  7. Normally, you'd click Yes ... show me, as the options are highly recommended. 
  8. However, you can also click: No ... ignore 
  9. Then click: Delete 
  10. And then click: Yes ... delete 
  11. And finally, you'll now see that the person's been deleted. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • Because a deleted person remains in the "Deleted bin", you can still retrieve their old employment info, like paid paystubs, and leaving documents, like their P45. 
  • If the person's paid a salary, the person continues to be paid up until their: "Date employment ended" 
  • If the person's paid hourly, the person's only paid for their clocked-in timesheet time up until their: "Date employment ended" 

You may notice: 

  • Once a person's deleted, the person can't log in anymore, and can't clock-in timesheet time anymore, either. 
  • If you change your mind and want them back again, click: Undelete 

To learn more: 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about deleting a person!

  4. Next, to filter the "Activities" to only a single action, click: Created (on the left) 
  5. And finally, you're now listing only the creates done by both people. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • Each person can always see their own "Activities" page, but only org admins can see the "Activities" pages of others. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about listing all changes by a person ... even going back years!

Following & ghosting2:52

"How do I manage who's following me, and how do I ghost people?" 

The "Following me" menu shows a list of people in your org who've got access to your starts, stops, and timesheet summaries. 

To see who's following you: 

  1. First, click:
    Menu > Following me
     
  2. And finally, you'll see a list showing you people who are already following you. 

To understand two ways people can get into your "Following me" list: 

  1. First, if a person decides to follow you and clicks the "Add" button:  
  2. And finally, if a person's automatically added to your follow list. This happens when you became their manager (or supervisor), or the person became yours. 

When you're following a person, to see a page of additional follow settings, click the three dots: (next to their image) 

 

Your first setting, "Include in timesheet emails ... daily": 

  • Is on by default. When this setting's on, you'll get a summary of the person's daily timesheets included in your daily timesheet email. 
  • The daily timesheet email arrives in your email inbox each day. 

Your next two "pounce" settings: 

  • Gives you a one-time notification, the next time the person starts or stops their clocked-in timesheet time. 
  • The pounce notifications show up in the corner of your screen. 
  • Even though it's one-time only, you can keep turning it back on again, every time you need it again. 

 

Your fourth setting is "Notify on all starts & stops": 

  • This gives you a notification every time the person starts or stops. 
  • This is useful if you're working closely with a person, and need to know when the person's around. 
  • This notification also shows up in the corner of your screen. 
  • You'll be notified every time the person starts or stops, until you turn it off. 

To block a person from following you, and block their access to your starts, and stops, etc: 

  1. First, click:
    Menu > Following me
     
  2. Find the person you want to block. 
  3. And click the "Ghost" button:  
  4. The person following you won't be told that you've ghosted them. But next time the person following you goes to their "People" list, your name now shows with a "Ghost" status:  
  5. And finally, to unblock them, click the "Ghost" button again:  

For advanced usage: 

  • Pin out the menu. 
  • Now you can instantly see when your co-workers are working or on break. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • You're free to follow or ghost as many people as you like. 
  • Even when a person's following you, the person still doesn't get access to any of your contact info, HR settings, or pay info. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about managing who's following you, and how you can ghost people!

Temporarily blocking access1:54

Now, switching person. You're now logged in as the newly blocked person. 

 

To understand what a blocked person sees when blocked by their admin: 

  1. First, the next time the blocked person goes to a different tab, the blocked person now sees a message saying their login's blocked. 
  2. If the blocked person tries to click somewhere else, the blocked person sees the same message. 
  3. And finally, if the blocked person tries to log in again, and if this is their only org, the blocked person also sees a similar message. 

You may notice: 

  • A blocked person's paystubs continue to be paid, and all their data still displays in all reporting. 
  • Blocking them means that the blocked person can't log in to your org. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • If the blocked person belongs to other orgs, the blocked person can still access those other orgs. 
  • Once you're ready to have them back, turn off: Temporarily block access 
  • The blocked person can then instantly log back into your org again. 
  • However, you may need to contact them, to tell them that their login's working again. 

And that's it! That's all you need to do to temporarily block one of your people from having access!

Note: Only org admins can set these features. To see if you're an "Org admin":

  • Go to: You > Settings > Permissions > Org admin p...

If you're not an "Org admin", you may edit some of your own details, and see some public details of others, but that's all.

To see other people in your org who are "Org admins":

  • Go to: Menu > People > ADM
 

Changing pay related details is restricted to "Payroll admins".

Payroll admins can do all the above, plus: set pay rates, see payroll reports, see tax forms, pay paystubs, and create and edit pay batches.

Note: Only payroll admins can set these features. To see if you're an "Payroll admin":

  • Go to: You > Settings > Permissions > Payroll adm...

To see other people in your org who are "Payroll admins":

  • Go to: Menu > People > PRL

Permissions

 

To allow a person outside your org to see only the hours worked on a specific project (and nothing else), add them as an observer to the project:

  1. Invite them to log in with:

    Go to: Menu > People > Invite person

  2. Add them as observers on projects you'd like to share:

    Go to: Project > People > Add observers

Now, when that outside person logs in, they can only see reports for the projects they're an observer on, and nothing else.

To set payroll admin:

  • Go to: Person > Settings > Permissions > Payroll adm...

Notes:

  • Only a person who already has "Payroll Edit" permissions can assign payroll permissions to another person.
  • Your own permissions can't be changed (to prevent lock out).

You can add people as managers, supervisors, and project leaders:

If your name's not in the list, turn on your role as:

  • Manager:

    You > HR > Roles > Turn on as ...

  • Supervisor:

    You > HR > Roles > Turn on as ...

  • Project leader:

    You > HR > Roles > Turn on as ...

Note: Only org admins can set these features. To see if you're an "Org admin":

  • Go to: You > Settings > Permissions > Org admin p...

To "Temporarily block access" (blocks a person from logging in, without deleting them):

  • Go to: Person > Settings > Permissions > Temporarily...

Once set, the person can't log in to your org, until you turn it off again.

All their other settings remain "as is", but the person can't log in (they'll still get their paystub emails).
