Assigning employees to teams

Assign employees as team members or team managers of teams, or remove them from the organizational structure if needed.

Updated over a week ago

Once you create a team in Payhawk, you can add the required employees as team managers and team members.

Specifics

  • An employee can be assigned as a team manager to multiple teams.

  • A single team can have multiple team managers.

Permissions of team managers

In terms of Payhawk, team managers fulfill a specific Payhawk role which is a bit different from any of the fundamental Payhawk employee, accountant, and administrator roles. As such, team managers acquire specific rights within the system in terms of the cards and expenses of the team and sub-team members they manage.

Cardholders

  • Team managers can view all cards issued to the members of the teams and sub-teams they manage by switching to the My teams cards view in the Dashboard > Cards app.

  • While team managers cannot view full card data or change card limits, they can freeze the cards of cardholders who are part of the teams and sub-teams they manage. Note that once blocked by a team manager, a card can only be unblocked by a team manager or Payhawk administrator.

Team expenses

  • Team managers can have an overview of all expenses created by the members of the teams and sub-teams they manage by switching to the My Team expenses view in the Dashboard > Expenses app.

  • Team managers can edit the expenses of the teams they manage before the expenses are submitted and also submit expenses on behalf of the expense owners.
