  • Files containing blank lines and commas can now be imported successfully when using Working File – Quick Import

  • Replacement payroll codes are not shown correctly when using Calculation Type: As Entered in Payment/Deductions

  • Entered Factor percentages are now included correctly in the Calculation Type: As Entered
  • To make sure Teachers' Pensions are aware of contractual enrolled or re-enrolled employees, Type must be completed in the MCR report. To add the Type:
