Fixes and Updates

  • Snapshots

    Fixed payments and deductions were copying when users were processing a contract change using the Snapshot button.

    This has now been resolved.

  • Total number of records displayed in HR Record

    The total number of records is now visible at the bottom of the Dashboard and query results page.

  • Incorrect Rounding

    The apprentice levy now displays the rounded value on the EPS screen, EPS file, the P32, and the P35.

  • Copying Employment History - Duplicating Fixed Payments and Deductions

    The Copy option in Employment History no longer copies fixed payments/deductions or earning allowances.

  • Setting an allowance with an end date which is before the start date

    An allowance can no longer have an end date that is before the start date.

  • Ignore Teaching & Learning Responsibility Payments (TLRs) with a future start date when calculating notional pay

    TLRs with a future start date are ignored when calculating notional pay

  • P11 Payroll Report missing total figures

    The totals figures on the P11 Payroll report are now displayed

  • Issues with duplicate transaction IDs being inserted

    Fixed several issues where documents uploaded to the system are added with transaction sequence IDs that are not unique, resulting in users being unable to view the documents

  • Change of employee payroll template does not affect historical periods

    When an employee's payroll category is changed so that they are using a different payroll template, historical transactions are no longer updated

    This stops details from being reported in the wrong payroll when year-to-date reports are carried out

  • P45 flag being re-set at period end

    The P45 requirement flag is no longer removed from leavers during the period end process

  • Attachments displaying on incorrect employee

    Attachments added via the portal are linked through the employee reference to stop them from displaying against an incorrect record

  • Mailer Service

    Attachments are now saved with a unique naming convention. This stops the attachments from being deleted from the system where they do not have unique names.
