# Managing organisations

### Navigating to an organisation (client payroll)

To navigate between the Bureau and Payroll sections, use the tabs located at the top of the Cintra People page.

There are two ways to navigate to a client organisation:

#### From Bureau:

1. Click the **Bureau** tab
2. In the side menu, click **Organisations**.
3. Select any organisation name to go to the organisation's payroll page.

#### From within payroll:

1. Click the **Payroll** tab
2. From the **Organisation** drop-down at the top of the page, select your chosen organisation.

### Editing organisation settings

For each organisation within Bureau, you can:

- Upload a logo that will appear on employee payslips.
  - This option is only available for organisations that use Employee Hub to distribute payslips.
- Turn on/off [messaging](/payroll/docs/messaging).
- For each payroll within the organisation, you can choose whether to allow admins to submit their completed payroll to their bureau.

To change these settings:

1. Click the **Bureau** tab
2. In the side menu, click **Organisations**.
3. Click the **Edit settings** icon for any organisation, then select **Organisation settings**.

### Editing an organisation's payment settings

For each organisation within Bureau, you can choose whether HMRC, Third Party, and Salary payments are processed by Bureau.

To change these settings:

1. Click the **Bureau** tab
2. In the side menu, click **Organisations**.
3. Click the **Edit settings** icon for any organisation, then select **Payment settings**.

#### For HMRC and Third Party payments:

Click the **Processed by Bureau** toggle to turn on processing.

- A list of PAYE codes and payment methods will be displayed.

If you have turned on the **Processed by Bureau** toggle, you can also choose whether these payments should be authorised.

- With this option turned off, no BACS payment will be made without your authorisation.

You MUST also set a **start date** for the payment type. You can also set an **end date**.

- BACS payments will only be made for bank files that fall between these two dates.

#### For salary payments:

For each payroll, turn on the **Processed by Bureau** toggle if required.

- Again, when you turn on a toggle, you MUST enter a effective **start date**. You can also enter an **end date**.
