## About this screen

Employee payroll details (salary/hourly rate, overtime, pay periods) flow directly into Estimated P&L reports, ensuring accurate labor cost tracking. Employee designations also control system access, linking timesheet functions to security permissions.

Upload employee photos, record hire dates, and configure whether Owner PIN override is allowed for changes. Pay details (hourly/salary, overtime rates, pay period) can also be recorded.
