Enhancements to employee reconcile: pay group audit trail

This release introduces improvements to the Employee Reconcile process in the Employee Maintenance, specifically around managing and auditing changes to employee Pay Groups.

New Pay Group Changes tab

To improve visibility and auditability of these updates, a new Pay Group Changes tab has been added to the Employee Reconcile screen. This tab appears during the reconcile process and displays a list of employees whose pay group was changed because of reconciliation.

The tab includes the following columns:

• Name

• EmpID

• Old Pay Group

• New Pay Group

If no changes are detected, the message "No records to show" will appear.

These enhancements provide administrators with greater transparency and control during the employee data reconciliation process.

Enhanced attestation control for Out punches without In punches

The Missing Break Post Punch work rule includes a new parameter: Always Send Attestation on OUT Punch when no IN Punch. When this checkbox is selected, an attestation message is sent for Out punches without an In punch on record. If Check for Rejected Punches is enabled, the software includes rejected punches when determining whether an attestation should be sent. This increases the likelihood of finding punches and therefore reduces the chance of an attestation being triggered.

This update supports more accurate and compliant handling of missed break attestations when employees’ In punches are missing, particularly in cases of punch rejection or offline punches.

Improved Exclude filtering logic for home jobs in Employee Sets

This release improves the Exclude filtering logic in Employee Sets to better support configurations based on home jobs.

Previously, using the Exclude operation in combination with the Only Apply to Home Job toggle could result in unexpected behavior, particularly when employees belonged to multiple sets or held both primary and secondary jobs. With this update, the Exclude operation now correctly excludes only those employees whose home jobs match the selected criteria. Employees with matching secondary jobs are no longer incorrectly excluded.

This enhancement allows for more precise configuration of employee sets and better support for assigning different rule items to primary and secondary jobs under the same rule set.

Improved time zone handling for time off requests

The Employee Time Off screen now displays request times based on the property's local time zone rather than the server time. This improvement ensures that managers see time off requests in the correct context, reducing confusion—especially for properties operating in different time zones. This enhancement provides greater clarity and consistency when managing employee requests.

Improved display of job name in Planning Period Summary section of Employee Schedules

In the Employee Schedules screen, the header of the Planning Period Summary (Show Daily Summary) section has been updated to improve the visibility of the job name when Single Job is selected. Previously, the job name was partially cut off and difficult to read. With this update, the full job name now appears clearly in the header.

Availability request approvals and denials now tracked in audit logs

To enhance visibility and accountability for schedule management, this release adds audit logging for employee availability requests.

When a manager approves or denies an availability request on the Availability Requests screen, the action is now captured in the system audit log. This provides administrators with a complete audit trail for availability management.

Details captured in the audit log:

• Name of the manager who approved or denied the request

• Whether the request was approved or denied

• Date of the approval or denial

• Name of the employee who submitted the request.

• Submission date of the request (from the Mobile App).

• Full details of the request.

These enhancements support labor compliance efforts and improve transparency in availability scheduling processes.

Rebranded Manage Schedules screen in the Mobile App

The Manage Schedules screen in the Mobile App has been updated with new colors and fonts to better reflect Unifocus's brand identity.

Paid Amount field in mobile time off requests

In the New Request screen of the Unifocus Mobile App, the Paid Amount field is hidden if no earning types are configured for the employee's home property (which is determined by their home job).

Note: Home job is configured on the Jobs tab of Employee Maintenance.

Rebuilt Employee Productivity report now available

The Employee Productivity report has been restored in Reporter. This updated version includes new parameters that allow you to select KPIs such as Departures and Stayovers, making it easier to measure productivity across employees and departments.

You can generate the report by selecting the desired property, department or job, date range, and KPIs. The report calculates actual vs. goal performance and includes export options for Excel and PDF.

Resolved issue for missing details in the Shift Details report

In some instances of previous releases, the Shift Details report displayed summary totals but failed to include individual shift details under certain configurations.

The software has been updated so that the report now consistently displays both totals and detailed data as expected.
