When customizing a standard employee permission keep in mind that the Employee Public and Employee Confidential permissions have hard-coded restrictions that cannot be modified. For example, if a custom permission is created using the Employee Public permission the restriction to view basic employee information for only active, non-terminated employees is maintained. However, custom permissions derived from the Employees or Employee Administration permissions are restricted by what is defined on the Role page. Standard employee permissions cannot be modified, so it is a good idea to use these permissions as templates to create your own customized employee permissions that you can assign to roles in your account. New employee permissions inherit the role restrictions of the parent permission. For example, if you customize the Employee Public permission the existing restriction of seeing only basic employee information for all active, non-terminated employees remains intact.
