- Some of the payroll information available online includes employee personal data, salary, benefits, earnings, deductions, taxes and hours worked. Users can also generate reports which organize and summarize data based on set parameters.
- Payroll administrators have access to all the information in the payroll system. In large payroll departments, payroll staff may only be given access to their own payroll. Managers can be authorized to view, change and approve information in specific modules. New web-based systems have self-service features which allow employees to view their pay data and change their personal information such as address and bank account.
- The payroll administrator sets security limits for different users so that only authorized staff can view or update payroll data. User names and passwords are controlled and may be disabled as necessary.
