Customise Individual Employee Settings

Organisation Admins can edit settings for individual employees in the Users section of MyTime

When a new employee joins MyTime your organisation's standard working policies in the Employee Template and Organisation Settings are applied by default, but of course many of your employees may have a specific working agreement. No matter how many agreements there are, MyTime can cater for them all, by allowing you to edit individual employees' settings. 

As standard, only Organisation Admins can edit individual employee settings. 

Individual employee settings can be edited in the Users section of MyTime.
