Below is an outline of the new features and updates that are included in the release. Icons Legend ### Rate Calculator Integrations for Alternate Minimum Pay Rates New Orgs that have implemented Alternate Minimum Pay Rate (MPR) will now be able to update Rate Calculator values directly from MPR records. To facilitate this, a new Rate Calculator Only section has been added to the MPR record, where Rate Calculator Rates can be managed directly. With these new fields comes the ability to create new Margin / Mark Up records directly via MPR. The Create Related Margin / Mark Up Records field allows you to determine whether the values entered in Calculation Method, Margin Rate and/or Markup Rate fields should be used to create new stand-alone Margin / Mark Up records. When not selected, automation will instead create new Rate Calculator Rate records using the values entered. This new feature negates the requirement to create and manage Margin / Mark Up Rates directly via Rate Calculator Templates, drastically reducing the need for Rate Calculator Templates where Margin Rates differ. A new lookup field has been created to indicate where MPR has been used to create new Rate Calculator records. The Minimum Pay Rate field will be automatically populated on Mark Up / Margin and Rate Calculator Rate records created via the process detailed above, so that the relationship between records is clear. The Rate Calculator Only section of MPR includes fields Custom Pay Rate 1, Custom Pay Rate 2, Rate Entered, Calculation Method, Margin Rate and Mark Up Rate, which work in tandem with the functionality described above. Additionally, MPRs may now be assigned to new Rate Calculator Template Groups, further refining the filter conditions for Pay Rates. Populating the Rate Calculator Template field on MPR records will allow MPRs with the same Interpretation Rule, Award Classification and Award Levels to contain Pay Rates specific to the Rate Calculator Template Group entered. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35960, SC-35931, SC-35984, SC-35989 ### Introducing Mark Up / Margin Overrides New Recent updates have enabled overrides to be applied on all Mark Up and Margin fields on Rate Calculator Lines. This new functionality allows any type of custom margin calculation to be applied, providing greater flexibility when managing rates and markups. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35518 ### Batch Size Controls for Rate Calculator New The ability to apply batch size restrictions to record processing for Rate Calculator and related automation has been introduced. This new feature allows you to control batch sizes when creating and managing Margin/Markup and Rate Calculator records from MPR, and ensures smoother processing and better performance for all Rate Calculator functionality. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (required if Rate Calculator in use) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36458 ### Enhancements for the Integrated Import Tool New Updates to Scheduled Jobs have been deployed to allow additional records to be automatically populated with unique identifiers, further streamlining the import process. Payee Allowance records may now be updated with an External ID (ID) value using either a combination of the Payee External Id / Payee Allowance Name, or the Payee External Id / Assignment External Id / Payee Allowance Name. Also, updates have been made to allow alternate date formats to be imported, for a better experience when migrating data from Excel. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36476, SC-36479 ### Improved Flexibility for Split / Broken Shift Logic New Several new fields have been added to enable a greater level of flexibility to the way that Split / Broken Shift Timesheet Entries are interpreted. In addition to the existing Breakpoint fields, Penalty and Casual Loading Pay Codes may now be defined individually for Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. New fields have also been added to determine whether Penalty or Casual Loading Pay Codes incurred across Split/Broken Shift Timesheet Entries should be applied on top of Overtime Pay Codes, or only to Standard Hours. Shift Start Time may now be used to interpret Split / Broken Shift Breakpoints on Shift End Interpretation Rules due to the new field Apply Shift Start Time BP. New logic has also been enabled to allow Split / Broken Shifts to be calculated according to the span of hours between Timesheet Entries, instead of being applied each time multiple Timesheet Entries are recorded for the same day. When Broken Shifts are enabled on an Interpretation Rule, and the new field Calculate Span from Previous Shift is set to True, you will be able to define the Split / Broken Shift Reset Hours that will be applied for Timesheet Entries that occur within a rolling 24 hour period. Without this feature enabled, Split / Broken Shift Timesheet Entries will continue to be interpreted using Daily logic. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-33874, SC-36317, SC-35448, SC-35410 ### Introducing Shift-Based Calculations New Changes have been implemented to enable Overtime to be applied on a Shift basis, instead of being interpreted according to the number of hours entered for a single day. When the new field Apply Shift Based Interpretation is set to True, related Timesheet Entries will be grouped together and considered as a single Shift, to enable Interpretation to determine Overtime entitlements according to the amount of Standard Hours defined for each Shift. In order to accomplish this new type of calculation, changes have been implemented to the way that Timesheet Entries are assessed during Interpretation. Entries may now be interpreted using Shift Logic, rather than Daily Logic, enabling Timesheet Entries associated with the same Shift to be grouped and assessed together, rather than being grouped according to the day that they have been entered on. The changes to Interpretation Logic implemented to accomplish this will impact Daily Overtime and Minimum Hour calculations, which will flow on to impact Frequency calculations. The application of Minimum Rest and Broken Shift may also change depending on the way that Timesheet Entries are assessed and grouped. Please reach out to your Consultant if you require further detail regarding these changes. Additional considerations may also be necessary if you are required to make any additional changes to an Approved Timesheet. Please refer to the appropriate vendor before making any changes to Approved Timesheets populated via integration. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36186, SC-34420, SC-36401 ### New Breakpoints for Shift-Based Allowances New Similar to the changes introduced for Overtime, a new Shift Allowance Breakpoint type has been created so that Allowance Breakpoints may be created for Broken Shifts. This Breakpoint type enables Allowances to be interpreted according to the quantity of hours elapsed between Timesheet Entries in a rolling 24 hour period. Included in this enhancement is the capability to associate different Allowance Pay Codes with each Shift Allowance Breakpoint, to ensure applicable entitlements are associated with each individual Shift Entry. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35447 ### Enhanced Interpretation for Sleepover Entries New As with the improvements made for Split / Broken Shift Interpretation, additional options are now available for Sleepovers. Timesheet Entries may now be interpreted with defined Penalty and / or Casual Loading Pay Codes created specifically for Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday Time. New fields have been added to Sleepover Breakpoints to facilitate this enhancement. Another change introduced is the ability to define the minimum entitlements for Wake Up Timesheet Activities. When Apply Wake Up Interpretation is enabled, the new field Wake Up Minimum Hours will be required so that Interpretation is able to calculate the sum of Total Hours of Wake Up across a Shift to determine whether or not the Wake Up Minimum Hours have been reached, and if not, what entitlements to apply for this Time. An additional field is also available when Sleepover Interpretation is applied. Sleepover Minimum Paid Hours enables Timesheet Entries involving Sleepover activities to be interpreted using Shift Logic and calculated separately from Daily Hours, according to the hours entered in this field. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-33813, SC-35452, SC-35456 ### New Overtime Calculations in Time Breakpoints for Daily Standard Hours New Enhancements have been made to provide greater flexibility within the Interpretation Rules Builder. This change allows users to determine whether Overtime relating to Time Breakpoints should be included or excluded from Daily Standard Hours calculations. To accommodate this requirement, the existing field Include Time Breakpoints in Overtime has been re-named to Include Time BPs in OT - Freq Std Calcs. A new field Include Time BPs in OT - Daily Std Calcs is available when Include Time BPs in OT has been selected. These fields are enabled for use on all Interpretation Rule Record Types, excluding Daily. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-31737 ### Updated Shift Interpretation for Minimum Rest Hours New Changes have been made that enable Minimum Rest periods to be interpreted on a Shift basis, rather than a Daily basis. This means that Minimum Rest will be assessed according to the time elapsed between every Timesheet Entry for each Shift (which could cross midnight) instead of being applied to all Timesheet Entries on a single day, whenever there is one Entry that does not meet Minimum Rest. To opt-out of Shift Interpretation for Minimum Rest and continue to use Daily Interpretation instead, a new field Apply Minimum Rest To Same Day Entries has been created and will be available from the Break Loading and Minimum Rest Rules section on all Interpretation Rule Record Types excluding Daily. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (configuration only required if new features are implemented) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35443 ### Maintain Data Integrity for Interpretation Rules New Changes have been implemented to uplift data management practices for Interpretation Rules. Breakpoints will now be deleted alongside their related Interpretation Rules, unless they are being referenced by another Interpretation Rule. For example, deleting an Interpretation Rule will also delete all the Breakpoints associated with that record, except for any Breakpoints that are being used by a related Variation. Scripts will be provided as part of this change, to allow for Org cleanup of any existing Breakpoints orphaned by previously deleted Interpretation Rules. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35078 ### Integrated Import Tool Refinements New Thanks to recent updates, the Integrated Import Tool can identify and exclude Timesheets and Timesheet Entries created or updated by other integration processes (such as Field Service) from being populated with External IDs via Scheduled Jobs. New Status and Error Messages have also been added to Imported Records to provide more precise feedback in scenarios where import has failed due to missing or incorrect Integration Import User credentials. This configuration is mandatory for the use of Integrated Import Tool functionality. Additionally, changes have been made to how Import Tool automation handles Org identification to ensure a more seamless integration experience. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (mix of compulsory & optional upgrades if Integrated Import Tool has been implemented - no configuration required if not implemented.) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36389, SC-36412, SC-36362 ### Updates for Page Layouts New Due to a number of functional changes over the course of the current Release, updates have been made to the fields displayed on Page Layouts across a number of records. A new OnCost Settings section has been added to the Temp Assignment Page Layout. Industry, Risk Classification and Employment Cost Template Group fields have been added to this section, and existing Location and Rate Calculator fields have also been moved to this new section. The Timesheet Activity Project Code Page Layout has been updated so that the Client field is no longer displayed, and the Template Group object has been assigned Page Layouts that are specific for each Template Group record type. Work has also been completed to convert Visualforce pages into Lightning Web Component (LWC) pages. This has been implemented to take advantage of the heightened security standards offered as a part of Salesforce's upgraded security models. Existing buttons have been converted to LWC Actions with built-in validation messages displayed on screen as actions are completed. When a LWC button is selected, a pop-up window will be launched to confirm the action selected and validate the success or failure of the action, before directing users to return to the original screen and refresh the page to view updated data. A number of Assignment, Account and Invoice Page Layouts have now been updated with LWC Action buttons replacing the existing buttons to uplift and streamline functionality. The Create Rate Calculator button has also been removed from the Assignment record, as a part of these Page Layout cleanup activities. **Configuration Requirement**: **Compulsory** **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-33425, SC-36123, SC-36125, SC-36134, SC-36273, SC-36179 ### Enhance Data Processing and Validation with New Integrated Import Tool Update The new Integrated Import Tool is now available for use. This tool has been created to provide an enhanced data import experience thanks to updated features enabling data to be processed at higher volumes with greater complexity. New control and validation features are also offered, along with more agile customisations. A key feature of the integration is the ability for data import features to be scaled and customised according to business requirements. Jitterbit integration also enables users to receive automatic feature updates deployed directly to their Org, without the need to manually install package updates. This new version of the Import Tool exists separately from the original Import Tool, and has been integrated directly into existing Salesforce UX. It currently supports data import for Timesheet, Timesheet Allowance Item and Pay Transaction record types. Further improvements have been implemented for those already utilising the Integrated Import Tool, to refine system processes for a better import experience. New validations have been implemented to prevent data from being uploaded more than once using the same CSV. Updates have been made to further improve the capacity to process higher volumes of data for Timesheet Entries, Timesheet Allowances and Pay Transactions using Bulk API. Existing validations have been amended to ensure that commas cannot be inserted when External IDs are populated, and changes have been made to the Scheduled Jobs responsible for generating and populating the External IDs used as unique identifiers by the Integrated Import Tool. Updates to Timesheet and Timesheet Entry records will now only be triggered when there are records ready to be populated, and will only run for records up to 90 days old. New Scheduled Jobs have also been created to populate External IDs for Assignment, Payee, Payee Leave Rule, Payee Allowance and Project Code records. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (mix of compulsory & optional upgrades if Integrated Import Tool has been implemented - no configuration required if not implemented.)\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-31308, SC-35850, SC-35966, SC-35967, SC-35968, SC-35970, SC-35969, SC-35877, SC-35878, SC-35879, SC-36293, SC-36351 ### Updated Bulk Entry Options for Payroll Reconciliation New A new screen flow has been created to enable the upload of CSV files when completing Payee Aggregate Reconciliation for FBT. Once uploaded, automation will attempt to format the CSV, then validate and import the data. Upon successful import, one Reconciliation Item will be created for each row of data imported, and data will be displayed on the screen flow UI with editable YTD values. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional** **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-34959 ### Updates to Permission Set Access Levels & Security Update New Over the course of this Release, a number of changes have been implemented for Permission Sets, including updates to existing Permission Sets, associated Licences, and the introduction of new Permission Sets. In order to enable greater flexibility and access control, individual product Permission Sets have now been created and packaged with access to all product Fields and Objects. Please be advised that additional configuration is required to enable access to Standard Salesforce Objects and Fields, to ensure continued access for all Payroll activities. For any Org utilising Permission Sets to provision access, please reach out to your 2cloudnine Partner or representative to discuss the activities required to update access levels. A Community Plus Permission Set has been created for use with Orgs utilising Customer Community Plus licences, to ensure continuity of access across all licence types without the need for the creation of additional custom Permission Sets. All Orgs with Community Plus licences implemented will need to ensure that Sharing Settings have been set up according to Salesforce guidelines, in order to retain full Read and Modify access to required objects and fields. Permission Sets for the Employee Community have also been updated to align with new naming conventions. The existing Approver User Permission Set has been renamed to the 2cloudnine Approver User Permission Set, and the Employee Community Permission Set is now referenced as the 2cloudnine Employee Community Permission Set. Access levels have also been updated, to ensure new Permission Sets provision access to all required functionality. Further changes have been implemented to ensure continued access for Guest Users when creating Community Users from Contact Records using particular 3rd party software. All Permission Sets assigned to users requiring automatic Community User creation when Contacts are added will need to be updated to enable Custom Metadata Types for Community Settings. Additionally, existing Payroll Permission Sets have been updated to include access for Rate Calculator Fields and Record Types, as well as new Payroll Fields and Record Types added in recent releases. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory** (compulsory upgrades if Permission Sets in use, optional upgrades also available.)\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36218, SC-35527, SC-36153, SC-36245, SC-36106, SC-36182, SC-36222, SC-36235, SC-36238 ### Important Notice for Desert Flame Upgrades New The latest version of 2cloudnine Payroll has been developed to include multiple improvements to functionality, access and security, as documented on the following pages. Before planning for upgrade, please be advised that there are several core 2cloudnine packages that MUST be upgraded concurrently with Payroll, due to functionality interdependencies. ### Introduction of Alternate MPR Functionality New Improvements have been made to provide more flexibility when organising your Minimum Pay Rates (MPR). These allow you to create child records to a parent Minimum Pay Rate for creation of Assignment Rates related to Project Codes and Timesheet Activities. Previously, you had to use the Assignment Rate Template Group, now you can use child Minimum Pay Rates to define sets of rates that are needed to be created for the Project Code/TSA combination. You are also able to determine a different Pay Rate for child records. Furthermore, we have also allowed the ability to specify particular Pay Codes that have a differing rate to the standard Minimum Pay Rate, using the Pay Code field on the Minimum Pay Rate record (previously labelled Allowance Pay Code Field). For example, if you have a higher duties Pay Code that needs a different rate, you are able to create a Minimum Pay Rate for this Pay Code which will be used instead of the parent Minimum Pay Rate for the Assignment Rate automation. We have also made troubleshooting easier by relating the Minimum Pay Rate record used during Assignment Rate Automation to the Assignment Rate record when it is created. When using Parent and Child Minimum Pay Rate records you will need to transform all Template Assignment Rates into Child Minimum Pay Rates and archive all existing Assignment Rates within the Assignment Rate Template Group. This functionality is unable to be used with both child records and Assignment Rates within the Assignment Rate Template Group. Existing MPR functionality (i.e. Update Rates) may still be utilised to manage the creation and update of Assignment Rates, but upgrading to the new Alternate MPR structure is recommended for superior processing and general feature enhancements. Please reach out to your 2cloudnine Partner or representative for support prior to upgrading, as a number of data transformation activities are necessary to align existing data with the new model. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35740, SC-35605, SC-36171, SC-36175 ### New Enhanced Import Type for Integrated Import Tool New The Integrated Import Tool has been upgraded to enable Enhanced Import Types, allowing users to import data using the customised Enhanced CSV Templates available for Timesheet and Allowance Imported Record Types. The Enhanced Import Type for Timesheets has been customised to exclude data related to Paid Breaks and Employee Comments from being imported, while Enhanced Allowance Imports are customised to exclude references to the related Timesheet External ID. The Enhanced Import Type is not currently available for Pay Transaction Imported Records. The Enhanced picklist value is now available for selection from the Import Type field when creating or editing Imported Records. **Configuration Requirement** : **Compulsory** (if using the Integrated Import Tool) **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35973 ### Removal of Import Tool Legacy Tabs New With the introduction of the new Integrated Import Tool, clean-up actions have been implemented to remove outdated legacy Import Tool tabs from the 2cloudnine Import Tool app. Users who have upgraded from the original Import Tool to the new Integrated Import Tool will notice the Timesheet Import Tool, Pay Transaction Import Tool, and Assignment Import Tool tabs have been removed, as imports completed via the Integrated Import Tool will utilise the Import Records object to facilitate all data imports. **Configuration Requirement** : **Compulsory** **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36162 ### Changes to General Ledger Journal creation process New A new automation has been created to replace the existing functionality used for the creation of Cost of Payroll and Leave Accrual Journals. This functionality may be utilised for Orgs that are unable to activate Process Builders due to the changes made by Salesforce regarding their use in the future. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36140, SC-36243 ### Take Advantage of Optimised Assignment Rate Management Expired Assignment Rates may now be easily managed, thanks to a new field added to the Assignment Rate object. The field Expiring AR Status can be used to create filtered List pages for the Assignment record, so that the status of Assignment Rates may be determined at a glance. The Status of this field will be automatically populated when Rate Updates occur to reflect whether an Assignment Rate is Expiring or has Expired. Any records that cannot be expired automatically will be flagged with the Status of Expiring Failed. A new field has been added to enhance filtering and optimise processing times for Minimum Pay Rate (MPR) automation. The Archiving Status field may be populated on Assignment Rates manually, by data load or via custom process, to ensure records are excluded from future MPR updates. **Configuration Requirement** : **Conditionally Compulsory**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-33686, SC-33685, CI-239618 ### Utilise New Automation for creation of Invoice Calendar Periods As per the existing functionality for Calendar Period creation, 2cloudnine Payroll now has the capability to automatically create Calendar Periods for Invoice Calendars triggered via third-party applications. The new field Generate Invoice Calendar Periods will be automatically populated when the system detects an Invoice Calendar created by a third-party integration. The Invoice Calendar Id will be captured for the new record, and new Invoice Calendar Periods will be created and related to the Calendar. **Configuration Requirement** : No configuration required. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35575 ### Adopt Enhanced Timesheet Processing Enhancements have been made to the way that Timesheets with related Assignment Rates are processed, to ensure a more seamless experience with integrated solutions. Changes have been implemented to ensure that the Status of unprocessed Assignment Rates does not impact the success of Timesheet Interpretation. This mitigates the dependency for synchronisation between the insertion of Timesheets via integration, and the creation of Assignment Rates by system automation, to deliver faster and more effective Timesheet Interpretation. **Configuration Requirement** : **Compulsory**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35353 ### Customise Field Labels on Pay Advice PDFs Further customisations are now available to tailor how data is displayed on Pay Advice PDFs. Users will be able to override the default names of the field labels for Payroll ID, Total Earnings and Total Net fields. Relabelling these fields enables greater flexibility, and ensures any PDFs generated for Employees and/or Contractors report more suitable descriptions for payments received. **Configuration Requirement** : **Compulsory** **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36040 ### Automate Picklist Value Enablement for Payee Allowance Templates Payee Allowance Templates have been uplifted to ensure that the picklist value Rate Per Quantity Worked is enabled automatically upon installation. Upon initial introduction previously, this value required manual enablement before becoming available for all record types. **Configuration Requirement** : **Optional**\ **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36067 ### Minor Updates Minor updates in the following areas have also been provided. There are no configuration requirements and these items will become available on installation of the package. #### Timesheet Processing and Interpretation update New * Minor enhancements have been made to Broken Shift Logic, Frequency calculations, Sleepover Interpretation and Variations to improve general functionality. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36632, SC-36658, SC-36659, SC-36678, SC-36744, SC-36186 * Changes have been made to ensure that Project Codes are more accurately associated with Timesheet Entries occurring across midnight. Previously, some instances were identified where Project Codes were not populated when Time was entered twice for the same day. This issue is now resolved. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36272 * New validations have been created to prevent Interpretation Rules from being Finalised without all Standard Hours populated, to avoid errors being generated during Timesheet processing. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35287 * New Validations will cause Timesheets to fail if the associated Interpretation Rule does not have defined Pay Code Caps for all related Breakpoints. A Debug Header has been created to inform Payroll Users of the missing data, so that the issue can be corrected prior to the creation of Pay Transactions. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-34537 * A new Debug Header has been added to flag any instances where Assignment Rates cannot be identified for Interpretation Breakpoints during Timesheet processing. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35917 * Interpretation logic for Minimum Paid Hours has been refined to ensure Time of Day Breakpoints consider the Standard Minimum Paid Hours during calculations. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35846 #### Pay Batch Manager * A security issue was preventing the batch from running which updates the 'Became Most Recent' fields on Payee Aggregates and the 'Current Leave Balance' field on Payee Leave Rules after a Payment File has been Released. This has been resolved. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36430 * An error has been resolved that was preventing the 'Client' filter from being applied correctly during Pay Batch creation if the Client filter was populated in Step 1 of the Pay Batch Creation process. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36441 * Updates have been made to ensure that the Pay Batch Manager Bulk Add feature has the capability to add auto-pay Employees to existing Pay Batches in all scenarios. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35719 * Pay Batch Manager optimisations have been completed to ensure the Status listings for related Payment Files reflect the most up-to-date information. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-34153, SC-35501 #### Minimum Rest Interpretation * Updates have been implemented to LWC's for the Interpretation Rule Builder to address a rare Break Loading, Minimum Rest and / or Frequency component error generated when attempting to Finalise new Interpretation Rules. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-36394 * Adjustments have been made to Minimum Rest calculations for same day Entries and Overnight Logic. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35167, SC-35560 * Changes have been made so that Minimum Rest Breakpoint application is assessed the same way for all Timesheet Entries, regardless of whether they are populated on the same Timesheet. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35858 #### Broken Shift Interpretation * Adjustments have been made to Broken Shift Logic to address an instance where Broken Shift entitlements were linked with a duplicated Timesheet Entry without a Broken Shift Timesheet Activity. This issue is now resolved. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35074 * Updates have been made to improve the Interpretation of Broken Shift Timesheet Entries crossing midnight. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35373, SC-35563 #### Leave and Allowance Interpretation * Leave Breakpoints entered in the Interpretation Rule Builder will be displayed with the name of the related Leave Rule, to simplify troubleshooting and identification of Breakpoints. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35328 * Logic has been updated to ensure that Daily Allowances are only processed once per day during Timesheet Interpretation, regardless of the amount of Entries each day that meet the qualifications for Daily Allowances. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-34304 * Hourly and Shift Time Calculation Methods have been modified so that Overnight Breakpoints are assessed separately from Leave Breakpoints. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35174 #### Overtime Interpretation * Frequency Overtime logic has been enhanced for multi-entry days to ensure Overtime is attributed to Entries in the order that they occur. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35561 #### Pay Transactions * General improvements have been made to the Clone Pay Transaction functionality available when processing Adjustments using the Pay Batch Manager. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35133 * Updates have been made to the way automation populates the Payroll Processed Date on Superannuation Pay Transaction records, to ensure the necessary data is identifiable and reportable. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35155 #### Rate Calculator * Rate Calculator Validation will now provide the reference number for any relevant Debug Headers generated if data errors are identified for Rate Calculators or related records. **User Story Reference Number(s):** SC-35083 #### Rates Automation * Validations for Rates Automation have been improved.
