Release Notes - November 2022

Improvements & New features

• Cost Code Icon on rostered shifts - A new cost code icon is now displayed when hovering on a rostered shift. The cost code icon will be dark blue when the shift has at least one cost code applied.
• Leave Balances in Approve Shifts - Improved the display of the available balance when adding a leave item to a shift in Approve Shifts. The displayed balance will now account for any leave items that have also been entered into that current period.
• Improvements to Tax File Declaration, Withholding Declaration and Medicare Levy Variation Declaration - All three forms have now been updated with a new layout. The forms are now more dynamic to reduce user error, and employees can now also fill out the withholding declaration and the medicare levy variation declaration at the onboarding stage if required.
  • New Behaviour - If an employee updates their personal details (name, date of birth, address) on the tax file declaration form - this will now auto-update the employee profile as well.
• Unpaid entitlement types added to payslip export options - The amount of hours redeemed of all unpaid entitlement types are now export options with the payslip export modal.
• Validation improvement to Roster budget importer - Improved the importer of Roster budget to give better feedback as to what line of data is failing validation and why.
• Create shifts with cost codes via CSV import - Users can now specify a shift cost code override when creating shifts through the CSV import tool.
• Top navigation bar - Updated the behaviour of the main navigation menu at the top of each page. When users scroll down the page, the menu will hide to provide more screen space. Scrolling towards the top of the page will trigger the menu to reappear.
• Update to Deductions UI - Deductions page will now show new title of “Deductions and Salary Sacrifice”. When adding a new item users will be prompted to specify if it is a Deduction or Salary Sacrifice Item. The options for each differ and will make it clearer for users to set up Other Salary Sacrifice items.
• Reactivate employee without forced onboarding - Admins will now be able to reactivate an employee without onboarding if they are in an Archived State. If an employee is in a Declined state they will need to complete onboarding.
• Clock settings "tester" preview - Added a clock settings preview section to the clock settings page. The preview will allow users to "test" the outcome of their rules and settings by entering a start and end time for a hypothetical shift.
• Roster status counts - Updated the status count badges on the roster to be clickable filters that will allow users to easily select which shifts to include in view.
• Roster budget tooltip contains count of filtered rosters with a budget - When filtering on multiple rosters and one or more has a budget entered, the tooltip will now correctly state Roster entered on x of x filtered rosters.

Comms log update

• The comms log has had a complete design and functionality overhaul. All emails, and SMS sent from the system can be filtered and searched by employee or date sent.
  • Filter by date range, comm type and status
  • Implemented functionality to search by employee
  • Redesigned feature – display of data, number of results, filter and search
  • Implemented API for communication logs

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue that was causing an 'unknown error' to display for some users when attempting to create a shift from the Approve Shifts area.
• Fixed an issue in Approve Shifts that was causing leave added to a single shift to display on all additional shifts for that employee on that day.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the Pending People count on the dashboard to not include candidates who had passed the verification step.
• Fixed an issue that was causing cost codes applied to a roster shift to be removed when dragging from one day to another.
• Leave loading badge on popover in award test showing again - a recent overhaul of our badge component inadvertently led to the badge displaying leave loading % on award test popover to turn white on white and not be seen. This has been corrected. The leave colour on the award test page has been altered to make it differ more from the accrual colour as well.
• Rates book will take user to invalid rate again - the error message released recently stating which state of a rates book contains a validation error now correctly only shows when the user is not within that state on screen. When an error is within the state you are in, the page will scroll to the input with validation error to correct.
• Entity Document Placeholders - Improved how the EntityCompanyName and EntityABN placeholders generate in documents. When used in documents for an employee under a non-paying entity, the placeholders will be populated using details of the default office code paying entity.
• Employee profile photos - Fixed an issue where admins who had the ability to see employee profiles could not see the employee's photo.
• Unable to load a roster template - Fixed an issue with roster templates that was preventing a template from being loaded into a roster week due to suspended candidate shifts already existing in the background.
