# Who can see and change employees

_Skileo Human Resources › Employees · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

The Business owner can do everything with employees. A Member needs the Employees permission, and more permissions to see contact details, sensitive details and salaries.

## “Business owner”

The “Business owner” can see every employee and team and do everything with them.

## “Member”

A “Member” needs permissions, which the “Business owner” gives in “Settings”, “Members”.

- To see the employee list, the employees' pages, the teams and the organisation chart: “Employees” set to “View”.
- To add, change, import, export, invite and delete employees and teams, and to write ratings, comments and private notes: “Employees” set to “Edit”.

Without the “Employees” permission, “Employees” is not in their menu. A button they may not use doesn't show.

## Details that need their own permission

Some details are hidden or greyed out without their own permission. View lets the member see them, Edit lets them change them.

- “Contact information”: the e-mail, the phone, the address and the emergency contacts' details. Without it, they show as `***`.
- “Sensitive information”: the nationality and the social security number.
- “Salary information”: the salaries, “Contract history” and “Equity and benefits”.

## Tabs of the employee's page

- “Time off”: needs “Time off”. With write, the member can also change the time off allowance on the edit page.
- “Tasks”: needs “Tasks”. With write, the member can give and delete tasks.
- “Documents”: needs “Documents”. With write, the member can give and take back documents.
- “Offboard”: needs “Employees” and “Offboarding”, both set to “Edit”.

Comments are seen by everyone who can open the employee's page. Private notes are seen only by the person who wrote them, the “Business owner” included.

## The employee

An employee never sees the employee list, the teams, the organisation chart or their own employee page. They see their own space and their profile. See [What your employees see in Skileo](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/what-employees-see).


## Common questions

### Why do I see `***` instead of an e-mail address?

You don't have the “Contact information” permission. Ask the “Business owner” of your workspace.

### Can a Member restore a deleted employee?

No. Deleted employees don't go to the “Trash”. See [Delete or offboard an employee](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/delete-or-offboard-an-employee).
