Payroll staff who are responsible for managing employee pay. **System Administrators: Open to view permission settings** For a user to successfully manage employee pay in Jemini, they’ll need access granted for: - **Payroll Processing** permissions in **Payroll**: - **Payroll Management application** - **Adhoc Pay Cycle records** - **Pay Cycle Processing** - **Pay Period Files (Australian payrolls only)** - **Payroll Files (Australian payrolls only)** These permissions can be set in **System > Security Profiles**. **NOTE:** If the user hasn't been given access to all employees and all payrolls in their user profile, you'll need to give them access to the the necessary payrolls from the **PAYROLL ACCESS** backpack. Find the **PAYROLL ACCESS** backpack in **System > User Profiles**, under the user profile’s **Filter employee and Payroll Access** settings.

For Australian payrolls, you can view payroll information and generate files for Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting. - [Select a payroll and pay period](/docs/intro-to-payroll-management#select-a-payroll-and-pay-period) - [Manage pay in the Pay Cycles view](/docs/intro-to-payroll-management#manage-pay-in-the-pay-cycles-view) - [Add an adhoc pay cycle](/docs/intro-to-payroll-management#add-an-adhoc-pay-cycle) - [View payroll information and generated files (Australian payrolls only)](/docs/intro-to-payroll-management#view-payroll-information-and-generated-files-australian-payrolls-only) - [Generate files (Australian payrolls only)](/docs/intro-to-payroll-management#generate-files-australian-payrolls-only) > [!NOTE] > TIP > > The new Payroll Management bubble replaces the Pay Cycles bubble in Pay.
