How to protect payroll information in ESC

To protect your payroll settings it is vitally important that you create an ESC user account for each employee that will access ESC. Accounts can be created by going to the Company → Setup Users screen. To ensure maximum security these accounts should all have strong passwords. At this point a password should be assigned to the ADMIN account if it doesn't already have one.

Once each user has an account set up remove the following permissions from the accounts of people that don't need to see pay rates. These permissions are listed in the order they will appear.

• Company → Setup Users
• Company → Reports
• Dispatch → Utilities → Enter Technicians
• Service Agreements → Reports → Agreement Profitability Report
• Sales → Screens → Show Labor Cost in Sales Invoicing
• Sales → Reports → Sales Invoice List
• Sales → Reports → Sales Reports

• Sales → Reports → Technician Sales Analysis
• Sales → Reports → Service Account Ledger
• Sales → Reports → Job Sales Report
• Sales → Reports → History Report With Cost
• Utilities → Restore Database
