23/10/2021 release (2.8.0) - Nepton Payroll

 New

• Nepton can now pay salaries as a service

  With the launch of our new product Nepton Payroll, salary calculation and payment are handled as a service based on the data within Nepton. Customers can achieve fast, reliable, and transparent payroll, in real-time, based directly on their HR and Worktime data.

  As part of this update, new salary and payslip controls become visible to all customers. If you do not yet use Nepton payroll, these will advertise the new capabilities of the service.

  Sales begin on 28.10 with a product launch webinar at 09:00. Invitations and details about registration will be made public soon. Save the date!

• Payment groups

  HR data has been extended with Payment groups. These are used to group people who should be paid something on the same schedule (e.g. a salary, wage, bonus, etc). A persons' membership to a group, indicates they should be compensated according to its payment periods. In a future version, this concept will be used to make approval recommendations to supervisors, more intelligent and proactive. Payment groups can be used to select and filter people for Worktime reports and integrations.

  Guidance [ref 11156]

• Export HR data whenever it is edited

  HR data exports can now be configured to occur whenever there are edits to the data within Nepton, effectively allowing for real-time HR data integration.

  Guidance [ref 11771]

• Import & Export past and future HR data values for people, using JSON format

  All past, present, and future values of HR data fields can now be imported and exported in the action by using the newly supported JSON format.

  Using the JSON format, it is also possible to send HR data directly to a receiving REST webservice.

 Improvements

• New HR data fields and improvements

  • Hourly wage - The ‘Hourly wage’ field has been replaced with a new and improved field of the same name, that allows decimal values only. Data that can be converted automatically, has been as part of this update. Where information could not be updated automatically, a warning will be shown in the person’s data, with instructions on how to correct and move it.
  • Monthly salary - A new ‘Monthly salary’ field has been added so more accurate salary information can be stored about an individual.
  • Classification of occupations (Ammattiluokka) - The Classification of occupations field has been added to support payment of salaries in Finland.
  • Nepton person identifier - This read-only field has been added to provide a more robust and permanent way of identifying Nepton personal data globally. This value is available in imports and exports of HR data, including salary exports via Worktime rulesets and is controlled by Nepton. Once a person has been added to Nepton, this identifier is generated and will never change.
