Hide categories in a view

I have an app I am building where one of the views is categorized by name with a dollars charged total column. The docs have a Reader field to restrict viewing of the docs to the employee/Supervisor/Manager and 2 roles (Admin and Payroll). This works but you can still see the name of every employee who has charged and the total amt they have charged to date.

Is there a way to only show the employee their own docs and nothing else?

Option 1: View properties, 3rd tab, Rows section, select “Don’t show empty categories”

Option 2: Use embedded views with formula based on username to give user only their own docs.
