Important Comment
Linking reporting lines
For Manager Self Service to function effectively, employees’ reporting lines need to be linked correctly on the Employee Position screen.
One MSS Security Role per Company will be automatically assigned
The system will automatically assign all employees to the MSS Security Role when they register for Employee Self Service.
A company can only have one specified MSS Security Role.
