Admins Can Submit Requests on Behalf of Employees
Admins can now create time off requests on behalf of employees — making it easier to manage time off for team members who forget to submit or need help logging requests.
You can also select past dates, as long as they fall within the current pay period’s start date.This update streamlines time tracking and keeps your records accurate and up to date.
Enhancements
Easily Search Employee Names in the Payroll Table
You can now quickly find employees in the payroll table by typing their name into the search bar. This update makes it easier to locate, review, and edit payroll details — especially when managing large teams.
See Unsubmitted Locations in Batch Payroll at a Glance
We’ve made it easier to track what’s missing during payroll runs. Now, any locations not yet submitted in a batch will appear at the bottom of the Batch Payroll screen — so nothing slips through the cracks. Plus, there’s a new Location column in the batch table, giving you clearer visibility into where each payroll item belongs.
WOTC Update: "Not Applicable" Option Now Available
We’ve improved the WOTC section in Employee Onboarding by adding a “Not Applicable” option to the target group dropdown. If an employee doesn’t qualify for any WOTC target groups, they can now select this option to move to the next onboarding step. This small change ensures a smoother onboarding experience for everyone — qualified or not.
Display SSNs in the Deductions Report
Admins can now choose to include employee Social Security Numbers in the Deductions Report.
Simply check the “Display SSN” option in the filter settings to add the SSN column when generating or downloading the report.
Enhanced Control Over Employee Payment Details
We’ve added more flexibility to how you manage employee permissions for payment details. In Settings > Permissions > Employees, you’ll now see two separate options:
-
Payment Details (EE Onboarding): Allow onboarding employees to edit their payment details during onboarding.
-
Payment Details (EE Profile): Allow active employees to edit their payment details from their profile.
This update gives you more control over when and how employees can manage their payment information.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed: When running payroll, employee benefit setups that should be activated in the current payroll period are not being included in the payroll processing. As a result, no deduction data is generated for these setups.
- Fixed: When an employee clicks the “Waive” option in the Benefit Enrolment step while onboarding, the waive document that they sign isn't saved in the Employee Documents.
- Fixed: Employee benefit setup remains in PENDING status even though the effective date is set to today's date.
