11/10/2022 release (2.10.20)

 Fixes

• 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.
  • Work hours > Accruals and overtime hours > Balance > Borrow at the end of the week if weekly obligation not fulfilled.

  [ref 13901]

• Worktime > Work time shortening leaves report, could crash in some situations

  [ref 13077]

• In some situations, customer Setting group names were being automatically translated by the platform. This was unintentional and made identifying them difficult

 Improvements

• The calculation of setting exceptions based on public holidays has been optimized.

  [ref 13025]

• Added a new option for event types to contribute to the work week, but not towards overtime earning.

  This new setting is available at working community and setting group levels respectively under the Work hours > TES > Event types that contribute to work week, heading.

  [ref 11823]

 Fixes

  [ref 13022]

  [ref 13014]

 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.

  Several data selections on the report have been clarified to make it easier to understand its capabilities.

  Guidance [ref 10041]

• 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.

  Guidance [ref 8841]
