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.

Configuration Improvement

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.

Configuration Improvement

Keyboard navigation added to flow pattern editing

In Flow Patterns, you can now use your keyboard to navigate and edit fields on the Add Flow Pattern dialog box and the Edit Flow Pattern pane.

Use Tab, Shift+Tab, and arrow keys to move between editable cells, making it faster and easier to enter and update values without relying on the mouse. Existing values are automatically selected when you move between cells, and focus remains in the active field as you continue editing.

This improvement applies to both the Edit By Percentages and Edit By Units tabs in the dialog box and pane.

Labor Improvement

Improvement to schedule notifications

This release introduces a new enhancement to scheduling-related notifications. All messages triggered by schedule changes are being refined in phases to ensure greater accuracy, clearer language, and fewer unnecessary alerts.

The following notification improvements are included in this release:

  • Shifts are removed during Generate Schedules when Clear Schedules is selected.

Note: Generic notifications are no longer sent when changes are made to schedules that have already been published.

Mobile App Improvement

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.

Time & Attendance Improvement

Back-end option added to prevent editing of system-generated earnings

You can now restrict manual changes to earnings that are automatically created by Post Punch work rules.

When this option is enabled, users cannot delete these earnings or change their values on the Review Time Card screen. This restriction applies to all users, including administrators, ensuring that system-generated earnings remain intact and consistent with configured work rules.

Note: Contact your Unifocus Client Success Manager (CSM) if you would like to activate this functionality.

Configuration Fixed Issue

Resolved issue for budget recalculation with incomplete simple non-flowed shifts

In some instances of previous versions, recalculating the budget resulted in an error if a simple non-flowed labor standard included a shift with start and end times defined for only some weekdays. This occurred even when no standard was applied to the days with missing shift configurations.

The software has been updated so that a budget can be recalculated if a simple non-flowed labor standard includes a shift with start and end times defined for only some weekdays. If no standard hours exist for days without shift time configurations, those days are correctly ignored during the calculation process.

Time Clock Fixed Issue Time Clock shift view displays the full interface correctly in Spanish

In some instances of previous Time Clock releases, the shift view did not display the full interface when Spanish was selected as the user’s language. In this scenario, parts of the screen could appear stretched and cut off on the right side.

The software has been updated so that the Time Clock now displays the full interface and shift details correctly in Spanish.

Reporter Improvement

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.

Reporter Fixed Issue

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.

Reporter Fixed Issue

Corrected formatting in the Earning Details report

In some instances of previous releases, the Earnings Detail report displayed text with inconsistent line breaks and wrapping.

The software has been updated so that report spacing and line breaks now align correctly with the data presented.
