Release Notes - May 19, 2023

When adding advances for employees from Payroll or their profile, you can configure past dates for the Date requested and Payment Date fields.

Previously, you could only add advances with request and payment dates in the future.

In this phase of enhancements, we have added new capabilities and enhancements to the following features:

Default working patterns

You must configure a default working pattern for your business.

You cannot delete the default working pattern.

If you need to delete it, you must first configure another working pattern as the default one.

Calendar (generated pattern)

When you create and configure a new working pattern, the generated pattern is represented as a calendar to help you visualize and understand the working pattern better.

The calendar is enhanced to center itself around the working hours configured in the pattern.

You can simply click a day in the calendar to toggle between configuring it as a working day or off day.

You can now also view the calendar when doing the following:

• Viewing the details of a working pattern
• Editing a working pattern

Creating working patterns

When creating working patterns, you can configure the following new fields:

• Min. gap between consecutive shifts
• Allow rotation (check box)

The Work Day Length field is removed.

Payslips display the teams that the respective employees are a part of at the time of creating the pay run.

Notification emails sent to approvers about letter requests from employees display the requestor's job role.

An issue with sending confirmation emails to new candidates

Previously, new users who signed up on the external careers platform did not receive their confirmation email, which contained the authentication link to complete the sign-up process.

This issue is fixed now.

Destinations display incorrect ports of departure

Previously, destinations (in airfare settings) displayed the wrong ports of departure even when the correct ones were configured.

This issue is fixed now.

Inability of HR admins to create expense requests for other employees

Previously, all users could create expense requests only for themselves, and HR admins were unable to create expense requests for other employees.

This issue is fixed now.

Previously, Payroll had the following issues when processing payroll for employees for the first time:

• A Missed payment from the previous pay run indicator was displayed in the employee's payroll profile.
• The employee's salary was doubled to account for the (incorrect) missing salary from the previous month.

These issues are fixed now.

Issues with assigning goals to multiple employees using assignee groups

Previously, Performance Management had the following issues:

• HR Managers could not view the list of employees to whom reviews were assigned if assignee groups were used.
• In Responses > View Answers, questions assigned using assignee groups were not displayed.

Only reviews and questions assigned to employees directly were displayed.

These issues are fixed now.
