Enhancements to employee reconcile: pay group updates and 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.

Automatic pay group updates during reconciliation

When a reconcile operation updates an employee’s home job, the software will now automatically update:

• The employee’s Property ID, based on the property associated with the new home job.

• The employee’s Pay Group, using the default pay group configured for the new property.

These changes ensure employee records remain aligned with organizational structure and payroll configuration when an employee's home job is updated.

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.

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.

Export option added to the Manage Schedules screen

You can now export the main table view from the Manage Schedules screen to Excel. Right-click the table and select Export from the context menu to generate the file.

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.

Resolved issue causing duplicated values in Actual KBI Mapping

In some instances of previous releases, certain key business indicators (KBIs) configured using Actual KBI Mapping were incorrectly doubled. The problem was caused by multiple source lines being added during the mapping process, resulting in inflated KBI values in reports such as Labor Actuals.

The software has been updated to correctly apply single-source mapping as configured, ensuring accurate KBI calculations.

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.

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.
