PeopleManager Release Mar 2024

 Security Enhancements for password policy

• Password must meet at least 3 out of the following 4 complexity rules

  • at least 1 uppercase character (A-Z)

  • at least 1 lowercase character (a-z)

  • at least 1 digit (0-9)

  • at least 1 special character including space character and punctuation

• Minimum password length should be 12 alpha numeric characters.

• Maximum password length should be 128 alpha numeric characters.

• Not more than 2 identical characters in a row is allowed. For e.g. if a password is Testtt@01, this should display an error stating “Illegal number of sequence” because of 3 identical characters in the password.

• Emojis and Unicode characters are now allowed for the password.

• There will be an option to peek the password in all login and Change password screens.

• All existing users will still be allowed to use their current password even though the new password policy is not met. However, in case of resetting or change the password, the user will need to stick to the new password policy as per above.

• For all new Employee activations, New User login process will be applicable, which means a single email sent to the user with a hyperlink. User needs to open the unique hyperlink and enter the NI and/or Date of Birth to set the password.

Allow Types of Absence Exported to be chosen by Payroll

·         Previous to this change we did not have the ability to set absence export types on a payroll basis.

·         On the Admin->Payroll screen, create a section where you can choose which of the absence types are exported for that payroll. The user should be asked “For this payroll, do you want to choose specific absence types to be exported.”. If the user ticks yes, a multi-select should be displayed allowing them to choose which of the absence types are exported.

Open

• When you do the export to InPay, it uses the configuration below in order of preference.

  • If the payroll has it’s own configuration, use that

  • Otherwise, if the payroll is hourly and the property AbsenceExportTypesHourly exists, use that.

  • Otherwise, use AbsenceExportTypes

Display if Absence has been exported

·         People Manager UI in Employee Absence Events screen will now display the Absence Export status to In Pay.

·         The Export Status values are No, Yes, Partially.

·         Partially means the absence days span over multiple pay periods.

'Other' Entitlement Figures in My HR shown in more detail for the breakdown

·         MyHR → Absence screen now displays Other absence entitlement details along with Holiday and Sickness.

·         User can navigate through the different sets of entitlement using the back or forward button.

Improve export to In Pay speed

·         This is a backend performance improvement for Payroll Export. It will be more visible if you do a bulk export where approximately 1.5 seconds will be improved for each of the employees.
