Approving manager not MYOB user

Question

Hi we are trying to start up electronic timesheets etc for our 2 companies. Two main questions please...

Can you only have 1 approving manager per employee? If so this is strange, what happens if they are away?
Does our approving manager (staff member) need to have access to MYOB payroll? Again, very strange, as we don't want them knowing wages etc of every employee, including directors.

Please tell me I'm missing something, as none of the above makes any sense if they are correct, hoping common sense will show me it's my error???

Please shed some light on this matter....

Hi there mareecav,
&nbsp;
You can add another approving manager aside from the current one. Just a heads up, this is per location and not per employee. But if there's only one employee at that location, you can still have two approving managers. Your approving manager doesn't need to have access to your payroll. Once you've added an approving manager, their only access is to approve timesheets. Here's a link regarding MYOB Team that you can check for more information.
&nbsp;
Best regards,
Doreen

Thanks so much for your reply. Just to clarify please --

I have tried 2 approving managers but the 2nd one does not have the same employees listed to add? Do i have to create a new location with same employees to create and extra manager?

Also, the manager has the team app like all staff, does this mean he only approves from this app, and not team.myob.com ?

Thanks again

Hi mareecav,Yes, you can create a new location and reassign the same employees to this new location. This will allow you to add an extra manager with the same employees. Regarding the manager's approval process, they can approve timesheets and other tasks both from the MYOB Team mobile app and from the team.myob.com website. If the manager is only using the mobile app, they can still perform approvals there, but they also have the option to use the web platform for the same purpose.Regards,Earl

Thank you that’s great I’ve set up a new location. But Our manager doesn’t have access to myob at all, and it appears he requires access to use team.myob

Hi mareecav,
&nbsp;
For your manager to access MYOB Teams, they will need to have access to MYOB itself. Ensure the manager has a login to MYOB, as MYOB Teams pulls permissions and access from there. When setting up their account, make sure to grant them the appropriate role or access level needed to manage MYOB Teams functions.
&nbsp;
Once these steps are completed, your manager should be able to access MYOB Teams and use it as intended for your new location.
