Apply a permission group to a specific user
Updated onArticleTo provide you with the ability to restrict who has access to some information, TimeForge allows you to create and assign permission groups. These security features can help you define who has access to make changes such as break rules, company settings, and employee positions. You can also define who can view personal information like pay rates and social security numbers. These permission groups can be assigned to both managers and supervisors independently. In other words, you can create a unique permission group so that your managers have more access than your supervisors. Assigning a permission group only takes a few clicks!

Other states have adopted non-standard meal and rest policies too.

Enable PTO payout requests
Updated onArticleTimeForge now allows you to turn on PTO payouts for Leave Types of your choosing. When turned on for a Leave Type, employees and managers can make requests to "cash out" all or part of their PTO balance for that Leave Type. PTO payouts must be enabled on a per-location basis for non-hidden Leave Types in order for employees to make requests and can only be enabled for Leave Types that track accrual. If your company does not allow negative accruals in TimeForge, then the employee must have a positive accrual balance to request a PTO payout.
