Employees are digital representations of cashiers in Bypass. If you want someone to have access to the register they will need to have an employee created. This article will explain how to create and edit an employee.

Employee Information
The Employee Information section includes some basic contact details for the Employee account.
All fields are optional except for Default Location. It is also recommended that a Role be set for the Employee account.
For more details on the listed fields, view the Creating and Managing Employees article.
Log in
The login information is what an Employee will use to log into the Access and Anywhere applications.
The Username and Password fields are used to allow an employee to log into the various Bypass POS applications.
A PIN is required for all Employee accounts regardless of the Role assigned.
Login Permissions control if the employee can log into a mobile device.
If the employee will be logging into a mobile device make sure that the Portables box is checked. If your venue uses the Clover Flex make sure Anywhere is checked.
Switching to portables mode on the flex can skip the in-seat ordering page. For more information on using Anywhere, click here.
Payroll
Clients can track employee hours worked through clock-in / clock-out functionality on any Bypass Access or Anywhere device. Additionally, Employees can be assigned one or more jobs, each with an adjustable pay rate. Note you can ignore this section if you use our partner service 7shifts.
You can add new Jobs to an Employee's account within the Payroll section.
- Click the Add Job button in the right panel.
- Type in the name of the position into the Job field.
- Enter the Hourly rate for the position in the Pay Rate field.
- Click the Save button to add the position to the Employee's account.
- Repeat the above steps for any other duties/jobs performed by the Employee.

User Card
To speed up the process for signing into the Bypass Access app, Administrators can assign User Cards to Employee accounts. This will allow employees and managers to swipe a card at the Bypass Access login screen instead of typing in their associated username and password or PIN.
If you need to order more Employee Cards or a Card Scanner contact our support team at sales@bypassmobile.com.
To add a new user card to an Employee navigate to Labor > Employees.
Click on an employee to open the edit panel. Scroll down to the User Card section and click Add User Card.
The new user card will list with its serial number and its expiration date.

Once you have made the necessary changes, click the Save button at the top of the panel.
