A fix to whether being on on call is counted as rest time by default or not.
- On November 16th an option was added to determine whether or not on call time is calculated as rest time or not. Before the update on call was always counted as rest time.
- When the update was made the default setting for the feature was that on call is not counted as rest time. The new default setting was in conflict with the previous logic and would have required several customers to change the setting.
- A fix has now been made to the default setting. By default, being on call will continue to be counted as rest time in the calculation of weekly rest.
- If you do not want on call time to be counted as rest time, you must make a change to the setting in: Work hours Weekly rest period Event types treated as rest time On call

Work schedules fixes and improvements
- The missing translation that occurred when removing shifts in shift planning has been added.
- The brief appearance of a Purple "Deviation" cell during the creation of a new shift in planning, even when filtered for a "normal" planning location, has been addressed.
- While in bulk actions mode, menus and drop-downs for Alias shifts no longer remain open, because bulk tools cannot interact with alias shifts. Interaction with Alias shifts is now suspended during bulk mode.
- The issue where selecting a non-work schedule location offered the option to create template shifts has been fixed.
- Alias and Template shifts added from the planning view will now only be displayed on the day they start.
- Fine planning now accurately displays shifts. The problem of displaying shifts as overlapping when they are not has been fixed.
- Work schedule aliases are no longer available for selection in planning if the schema is not published for that period.
- The error caused by selecting "-" in the planning view, which sometimes created an unusual 00:00 - 00:00 shift, has been fixed. This option has been removed from the planning dropdown.
- When removing a deviation from shift planning, an empty shift was generated incorrectly. Issue has been fixed and removal now results the shift reverting to the original work schedule shift.
- Changing an alias back and forth (e.g., A - Y - A) lead to the alias becoming unpublished, even if it was originally published from the schema without changes. Issue has been fixed.
- Both day and shift level notes from the schema are now correctly displayed in the shift details.
- Clicking on a date period outside the schema period will no longer result in a pink background and a visible alias dropdown before the general shift template opens.

2023 Nepton Touch terminal hardware
An updated version of the Nepton touch terminals hardware is now available. A sleek design, modern OS, more processing power, and a more flexible onboard reader, make this our most secure and capable terminal to date.

Quick help
A new in-platform help tool that will get you started on new features, inform you about important changes, answer daily use questions, and get you the help you need quicker than ever.
This new feature will debut in the Planning section and gradually roll out elsewhere as we modernise our user interface. Find it in the bottom right corner on supported pages.
Improvements
-
Planning usability
The planning view has been modernised, including many quality-of-life improvements and new features to improve efficiency
- New look and feel - Much of the planning section has been updated to modern styles. Easier to navigate, and more space for your work, we hope you love it as much as we do! Work will continue on this topic in future versions, for planning and also other sections.
- Bulk actions - Get your planning done quicker and easier than ever. Edit, Copy, Move and Delete your way to victory, hundreds of shifts at a time. Is someone sick and you need to reassign all their shifts to someone else? It's now only a few clicks!
- Right-click context menu - That's right, your mouse has two buttons (maybe even more)! Right-click to get the full information about a shift and quick actions on it, including delete. This lets you reduce the information you load into the view and free up space to see more of your plan.
- Quick assign - A shortcut instead of the full-blown bulk actions menu, switch into assignment mode by hovering the mouse over a person's name and clicking the new button. Pick the shifts and needs you want to assign them and save.
- Identify planning problems - Planning problems found in the selected date range are now highlighted at the top of the view. Click to expand and jump to each problem for quick solving.
- Maximise - Found in the top right of the planning view, a new legend, and the option to toggle expanding the planning view to fill your whole screen.
- Removed planning hours/day view - We have decided to remove this feature as it was very rarely used and did not align with our new usability guidelines.

People with unpaid events could have the wrong amount of work hours calculated
Recent corrections to the Worktime settings unintentionally impacted many customers because the default behaviours of some event types changed. This could result in fewer hours being considered as work for people who have recorded unpaid events, leading to more borrowing from balance.
To correct this situation, by default, unpaid event types will now contribute to weekly work hours, but not towards overtime earning. If you still have people with unpaid events that have incorrect work hour calculations, please review your settings related to this matter, in Worktime > Administration > Working community & Setting group level settings, then:- Work hours > TES > Event types that contribute to work week.

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.

-
Worktime rounding
When compensated time is rounded there is now a clear distinction between work hours that were registered and time which is paid.
This corrects issues in reports such as the Overtime and Hours by salary type report, which were earlier unable to show the correct amount of worked hours.
It also improves the accuracy of data gathered by rulesets for exports and integrations. They can now be extended to consider whether compensation exists because of rounding or not. A good example of where this might be useful is when creating a ruleset for invoices, which should be based on actually worked hours, vs a ruleset for salary integrations, which should include rounded times.
The change also addresses situations where work rises were being incorrectly earned due to rounding. A good example of this are evening and night compensations as these should be awarded for the actual time worked, not rounded time used for salary calculations. There is a new Work rise setting to enable this method of calculation, which can be found in the Work rise settings section.
