To visit the employee list, from the main page navigate to the top-right corner, click on the profile icon and select "User Management".
Adding a user
To add a new employee, click on the "Plus" icon at the top right corner. The pop-up notification gives two options: a field employee with limited access or a support agent with full access to the system.
Once the proper option is selected, you can start filling out the information about your new employee.
The mandatory information is marked with a red star next to the field name.
The user profile consists of "basic information", "contact information" and "payroll details and rules".
- In the "Basic" section fill in the employee information and choose user permissions/access types.
- In the "Contact" section add user's contact information, signature and an avatar that will be visible in the system.
- In the "Payroll Details and Rules" add the information that will later be used to automatically calculate the payroll.
Note that you can add not only your corporate email address but a personal email address as well. In the “Contact box,” you have “Client communication email” and “Personal email” fields. The addition of a personal email option to the user profile in ArboStar can provide a more customized, secure, and organized communication experience for users.
You can also set the "Auto Logout" feature from the “Payroll Details and Rules” section which can provide an additional layer of security, privacy, and resource management for the system and its users. You can set the Auto Logout at midnight or after a certain amount of hours. Don’t forget to click “Save” after making any changes to the user profile.
In the section below you can also add documents to the employee profile.
Below, in the "Setting" section you can choose the rules to give or restrict additional permissions.
After entering the information, hit the "Add" button at the bottom-right corner.
Additional Settings
To restrict or allow an employee the possibility to edit their payroll time in their user profile in “Allow editing employee payroll times access” choose “Yes” or “No”.
If you choose “Yes” you can also choose the period when the user will be able to edit the payroll times. If this field is empty or equal to 0, the user has no limits on the number of days to edit.
