Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue that was causing duplicate templates and candidate documents to be created when attempting to update them.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing unassigned shifts from being included when using the multiple shift+click feature on the roster.
• Fixed an issue with the employee selector input that was preventing it from displaying the correct status next to employee names when creating or editing a shift on the roster.
• Fixed an issue with the employee selector that was preventing it from correctly filtering employees based on the selected position or position groups when editing a shift.
• Fixed an issue that was causing shift comments to not display against some shifts when accessing the page by using a link provided through SMS.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the BSB input field in onboarding to appear like the employee was entering blank characters rather than the numbers.
• Warning for leave when creating a manual payslip – Introduced a warning with new leave for users creating a manual payslip for an employee who still had a pending leave request in the period. This warning was very eager to show, and was popping up as soon as you opened a manual payslip before you even chose employee and period end. This banner will now only display when intended.
• Allowances and Reimbursements added in Approve Shifts – The weekly items options for Allowances and Reimbursements was relying on the employee having the setting for submit shifts enabled, to push the weekly items to the payslip. This is now fixed and no longer reliant on that setting being on.
• Disabling save button when applying position rules - When applying rules from one position to many, you could excitedly click the save button, this would end up adding new rate labels to operation rates book many many times. Stopped this from happening and cleaned up any incorrect data.
• <” or “>” was correctly displaying within the platform or employee profile, the greater than and less than characters should now display correctly as “<” and “>”.
• Comm - Upcoming Birthdays token not filling with employee data - Comm 122 that is triggered when an employee is celebrating their birthday was not including the additional information that an admin may need if the employee’s age affects their rate of pay. This comm now displays all expected info.
• Credit note with wrong header – The second page of credit notes was pretending to be normal invoices, this header has been fixed.
• Warning for minimum rate on position – When you had 3 decimals vs 2 at play setting up a position you could get a message telling you that a rate had to be at least x rate, but you’d already set that exact rate. While you could still progress the warning was causing confusion. This will no longer display incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue that caused the employee ID to be removed from the employee input fields in Leave and Approve Shifts.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing clients from approving shifts in bulk from within the Operations portal.
• Fixed an issue that was causing users to receive an error when adding or updating licences or qualifications.
• Fixed a minor display issue that was showing two confirmation notifications when copy and pasting a shift on the roster.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing users from being able to edit entitlements from within the Add Entitlements modal against an employee.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing shifts from being copied on one roster and pasted on the roster of a different week.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing highlighted text in document builders from being rendered in generated PDFs.
• Our customers who use the Anniversary Alert alerted us that the email was not pulling the employee's first name place holder correctly. This has now been resolved.
• Fixed an issue in the Employee Profile that was preventing an admin from editing a timesheet under the financial tab. This fix allows admins to edit an employee timesheet if it has not been accepted or paid.
