An employee's working pattern is the set of rules and policies that define how they work in an organization. We plan to release a series of enhancements to working patterns, supported by enhancements across the platform, to enable you to plan and manage work distribution and employee scheduling, monitor attendance and deviations, and calculate overtime.

The first phase of enhancements includes the following features:

• Enhanced UI for defining and configuring a working pattern.

• Ability to create working patterns of two types; Standard and Flexible, and enter data relevant to each type.

  Type	Configuration user interface
  Standard
  Flexible

• Ability to associate employees with multiple secondary working patterns for indefinite operations (such as shift scheduling) using audiences.

  Secondary working patterns can be associated with employees in addition to their existing primary or contractual working pattern, which is used in (HR-related) employee administration.

• Uninterrupted familiar functionality:

  • Working patterns continue to determine the leave accrual balance displayed when requesting leave in Leave and Calendar.

  • As a platform admin, you can continue to view working patterns of employees on their respective profiles.

We have converted your existing working patterns to Flexible working patterns to migrate you to the new services.

As a platform or payroll admin, you can download payslips from completed pay runs (with payslips issued) to Documents.

You can download payslips of all employees or filter the pay run and download only the required payslips.

You can download payslips from:

Business > Payroll > Pay Runs > View Pay Run > Download Payslips

In Documents, the downloaded payslips are saved as PDF files in a new folder named after the pay run:

Home > Downloads > (Pay run name) > (Employee name).pdf

As a platform admin, you can enable or disable downloading payslips from:

Business > Settings > Customization > User Interface > EmiratesHR > Business Payroll > click the  settings (  ) icon in the Payslips Download UI component

•   (For payroll and/or platform admins) Downloading employee payslips

Automatic currency conversion is available in the following features:

As a platform admin, when defining a V2 pay category, you can use scripting to dynamically calculate and return the employee's daily salary to use it for other calculations.

If the basic salary payment of an employee is missed in a pay run (as a result of implementing the V2 Basic Salary pay category), the next pay run indicates this information in the employee's payroll profile.

As a platform admin, you can export any pipeline and import it back into the platform.

This facilitates quick and easy sharing of pipelines, with all the required settings configured, across businesses, so that you can reuse or use them as a template.

To export a pipeline, on the View Pipeline page, click Export.

The pipeline is exported as a .ehr file, which is a zipped folder that contains all the files that define the pipeline's schema.

To import the previously-exported pipeline onto the platform, on the Add Pipeline page, click Import and upload the .ehr file.
