InPay V6.2 Release Notes

Contents

Hour based work plans (NP-545)

The ability to have work schedules based on hours rather than days has been added.

A new Hourly tick-box has been added to the Company > Work Schedules and Employee > Work Schedules screens.

A schedule can now have a set number of hours for each day. Both single and multi-week schedules can be hourly.

An hourly schedule can be overridden when assigned to an employee using the Employee > Work Schedule screen.

Once a schedule is assigned to an employee, any changes in the employee's pay will be calculated in the background.

Hourly Schedules do not apply to SSP Schedules. Copying an hourly schedule to a SSP schedule will use the days where hours are greater than 0.

Hourly Schedules can also be created with the Importer using the Starter and Employee Work Schedule import formats. Instead of passing in NYYYYYN to represent a week, the individual hours for each day can be passed in. The system will automatically detect that this is an hourly schedule and act accordingly.

BW036 negative net pay carry forward  (NP-747)

In some instances, a company does not want an employee to receive negative net pay. In these cases we need to adjust the payslip and reduce by the respective amount in the next period.

A new field has been added to the Company > General page. When this is ticked, you will see a drop down list that enables you to select a pay element. These pay elements are payments that are non-niable and non-taxable.

If an employee's net pay is less than zero, an adjustment for the selected pay element will be added to the current period to get the net pay to zero. 

When you commit through to the next period you will see a negative adjustment has been added to the Pay > Adjustments page and on the payslip.

Read-only role (NP-750)

A new 'Read Only' role has been added for users. 

This role gives a user access to a restricted set of pages with limited ability on each page. The user will see all fields disabled and have no ability to save or delete any data. Certain functions will still be available to them such as selection of data rows and running reports.
