Most hours in SYNCrew are added by workers with their app and then never modified. Sometimes, however, a manager needs to make edits and they can do that through the SYNCrew admin portal. Until this release, any admin could make changes anytime in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a large company, an admin may not know when payroll checks are made and accidentally make an edit too late! To fix this, we added a simple lock so that people will know that the payroll is closed. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrew.com\/faq\/setup\/user-management\/limited-admin-vs-full-admin\/\">Full Admin<\/a> can lock or unlock the pay period but will get a reminder that it&#8217;s locked so they don&#8217;t do so automatically.
