Administration Improvement

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.

Labor New Feature

Viewing scheduled shifts associated with events

In the Events screen, you can now view scheduled shifts that are linked to events. When an event is selected, a new View Shifts option opens a details pane showing all scheduled shifts associated with that event. You can access this pane either by selecting the View Shifts button at the top of the screen or by right-clicking the event and choosing View Shifts from the menu.

For each associated shift, the pane displays:

  • Employee name

  • Shift start and end times

  • Job assignment (Department > Job Name)

Shifts are displayed one day at a time, with a date selector to review different days. From the pane, you can also remove an event association from a scheduled shift as needed.

Time & Attendance Improvement

Column sorting added to Review Time Card audits

You can now sort the table on the Audits tab of the Review Time Card screen. Column sorting (A–Z) allows you to organize audit entries more easily and quickly find specific changes or actions.

Time & Attendance Improvement

Split-second timestamps in Review Time Card audits

The Audits tab on the Review Time Card screen now displays timestamps with split-second precision. To help distinguish actions performed nearly simultaneously, the Changed on column includes milliseconds formatted to three decimal places.

Example:

  • Previous format: 12:01 PM

  • New format: 12:01.023 PM

This enhancement improves audit accuracy and makes it easier to determine the exact sequence of time card changes.

Configuration Fixed Issue

Missed break earnings now appear as rule‑triggered earnings on time cards

In some instances of previous releases, when the Only allow earning once per day checkbox was selected in a Missing Break Post Punch work rule, missed break earnings could appear as manually added on an employee's Review Time Card screens. This issue occurred even though the earning was generated by the work rule after the employee responded to the missed break prompt.

The software has been updated so that missed break earnings generated by the work rule now appear with the correct rule‑triggered indicator on the Review Time Card screen.

Time & Attendance Fixed Issue

Effective Rule Set heading now appears correctly

In some instances of previous releases of the Review Time Card screen, the Effective Rule Set column heading was missing from the View Effective Work Rules dialog box.

The software has been updated to resolve this issue.
