The User Security page in Time and Attendance is used to review the security group assignment of a particular employee. Adjustments to an employee’s Membership group due to promotion or other organizational changes can be made here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that if you are a\u00a0Insperity\u00ae\u00a0HR<\/strong>360\u00a0\u00a0client, employee security group assignments can be updated in Insperity Premier, via Manage Employees > Overview > Employees. Select the employee name, then Job Information, and scroll to the Time and Attendance section to make the desired change(s).<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Please contact your Payroll Specialist if you have any questions about how to make this update, which will then import to the Time & Attendance system in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, these assignment changes can be made directly in Time & Attendance as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Changing an employee’s Security Group assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              There are various reasons why an employee may need their security group updated within Time & Attendance. These typically occur when an employee is promoted and now manages employees (change to “managers”) or no longer is required to clock in\/out (change to “non-punching”), etc. This section reviews the steps for adjusting an employee’s security group assignment, using the user security page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
