Assigning a Payroll Processor (Company Administrators)

Assigning the Payroll Processor role allows a team member to process approved stipend reimbursements through payroll. Admins can grant this role from the employee’s profile in the Team section of Compt.

Once assigned, the Payroll Processor will have the necessary permissions to access payroll processing tools within the platform.

In Compt, the Payroll Processor role is used by team members responsible for sending approved stipend reimbursements to payroll. This is typically someone on the Finance, Payroll, or HR team.

Admins can assign this role directly from an employee’s profile in the Team section. The change takes effect immediately after saving.

Use this process when:

• A new payroll or finance team member needs permission to process reimbursements

• Payroll responsibilities are being transferred to another employee

• An employee requires access to payroll processing tools in Compt

Before assigning this role:

• You must have Admin access in Compt

• The employee must already exist in the Team list

How to

1. Click Team in the left sidebar.
2. Click the employee’s name to open their profile.
3. Click the Compt Roles tab.
4. Select the Payroll Processor role.
5. Click Save Changes.

What happens next

The employee will now have access to payroll processing tools in Compt. They can process approved stipend reimbursements so they can be included in payroll.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the Payroll Processor role is enabled under the Compt Roles tab
  • Make sure Save Changes was clicked after selecting the role
• Employee does not appear in the Team list
