Annualised Pay. This functionality has been added to facilitate customers who employ staff whose contracted pay is spread equally across the year, even though they do not work all year (e.g. working at educational establishments). The system has been developed to calculate annualised pay and holiday pay (where applicable) and automatically calculates additions or deductions for employees who work above or below their contracted hours. This new functionality can be activated from the Pay Cycle setup screen, but before you do that you should read the Annualised Pay Guide, which can be found in the link at the bottom.
Definable Properties. This allows you to define your own properties, or attributes, to be stored against Clients, Sites, Staff and Stock. For example, if you wanted to record the uniform sizes of your employees in the Staff screen you could define this as a property in the company setup. It would then appear in a new tab in the Staff screen. From there you could enter the values for future reference, print them in a report or even extract them to CSV. To set up properties, go to Setups> B. Setups & Defaults> Defaults tab> ‘Misc’ tab and click on the ‘Property Sets’ button.
Payslip Email Address Display.
A new setting has been added that allows payslips to display an alternative email address, different to the one they may have been sent from. This can be found in Setups> Payroll Cycles> ‘Details’ button.
Portal & Mobile Holiday Requests: Auto-import option.
It is now possible to automatically import absence requests coming from the Portal. To activate it, go to Mobile> S. Maintain Mobile Parameters> ‘Receive’ tab.
Staff Regular Pay: Date Started on Site
When adding a new job, the employee’s Start Date at Site field will no longer default to today’s date and will instead default to being blank. Validation has been added to the field to prevent the record from being saved without the user entering a date.
Auto Import Audits: New Option
A new option has been added to the Mobile Parameters screen that allows you to set an average score percentage over which audits will be automatically imported from the holding area. Audits failing to reach that threshold will be left in the holding area for manual review.
QC Audit Format: New Format Available
A new Audit format is now available that can show company logos, and uses subtler colours when presenting audit scores. The new format can be activated by going to Setups> B. Setups & Defaults> Formats tab> Quality Control> ‘Audit Print’> ‘Logo’.
Mobile Notifications
A new option has been added to site Mobile Notifications that allows you to decide if an imported audit is automatically emailed, based on its average score percentage.
Company Name Bar: Allow users to select colour for each company
The colour of the company name bar that appears at the bottom of the Site Manager screen can now be chosen. Go to Setups> Setups & Defaults> Company Logo section on left> ‘Colour’ field and choose from a range of colours.
