New Features

Employee's Time Off Log Table Enhanced

In the Employee’s Vacation & Sick Time Off Log Table:

  • An edit icon has been added to the fields in the “Memo” column, so you can edit the memo after the time off is logged.

Cancel Time Off Request Enhanced

Change the status of an approved time off request back to “Pending” by clicking the “Revert” button.

Add the W2 Consent Response to the Demographic Report

In the Demographic Report > Filter Setting modal, an optional filter setting titled “Display W2 Consent” has been added. When this filter setting is checked, the table displays a column with the employee’s W2 Consent responses. For employees with no W2 consent response, the column is left blank.
