Wage/Salary Employee Permissions and Netsuite Premier Payroll
In order for Netsuite to work properly, it is really useful to give employees access to the employees list. However, if you do this, and you use Netsuite Premier Payroll which is also very useful, then anyone who has access to these "employee" lists can now see all other employees payroll information such as wage and salary information, social security, birthdates, mailing addresses, etc.
One approach would be to hide the payroll information by removing it from the forms, but this security through obscurity approach will only keep employees who are not skilled searchers from accessing it.
I am looking into various approaches on solving this problem, but was inquiring if anyone else had come up with a good solution to this challenge. Thus far, the best approach looks to map the salary to a custom record with security on it, but I am not sure if Netsuite Payroll can support that.
