Sometimes in our help articles you may notice we've got instructions for different types of PaySauce views.
This is because there are several different account types in PaySauce, and there are differences in how they display some key navigation items.
In your company settings on the 'users' screen, you will see the account type listed next to each user.
If you are an employer
If you are an employer or the person running the pays, there are two possible account types you may have.
The first is 'employer' and the second is 'platform'.
Identifying a platform account
Platform accounts show you a 'dashboard' after logging in which display apps that you may be using. For example, if you're using our Rosters product you'll see it on the main dashboard after logging in. To go to your payroll after logging in you'd typically click on 'view payroll' to then enter the main PaySauce payroll view.
The 'platform' dashboard
If you see a screen like this, and if your URL shows 'beta' in the PaySauce link, you have a platform account.
Platform accounts allow access to other apps and have a few other unique permissions.
Identifying a standard employer account
If you don't require access to other PaySauce apps, or your account was created before our Platform was available, it is possible you have a standard 'Employer' account.
Your PaySauce URL will show 'enjoy' in the link
You will have a red/orange menu bar across the top of your screen
Navigation differences
For platform account users, you'll need to click on 'view payroll' to enter your PaySauce payroll screen before commencing with most steps in our articles.
You can access your account settings from the user profile icon in the top left if you want to edit anything in relation to your account, however you should navigate to the payroll area before continuing with most activities - or rosters, as needed.
