Summary
This release of USPS-R contains bug fixes, improvements, and new features. See highlights below.
Important information about mid-year contract changes
New contract has been updated to calculate mid-year contract changes in the same way that classic would calculate them.  The work days, days worked, pays in contract, and pays paid will be carried forward into the new contract.  Contract obligation, amount earned, amount paid, amount due, pay per period, unit amount, and retro next pay calculations have been updated to match the classic calculation methods.  We will no longer only carry forward the remaining amounts (pays, work days, accrued wages) into the new contract.
If there are existing mid-year new contracts in the new contract view prior to this update, they can be activated using the old method of calculation if they are activated without re-calculating. Â If you would like to have the mid-year new contract re-calculated using the new method, you can edit the mid-year contract and click the calculate button. Â This will re-calculate the mid-year contract amounts using the new method. Â Optionally, you may delete an existing mid-year contract and re-copy it to use the new method.
If using the new method, multiple mid-year contract changes for an employee will calculate correctly. Â If a mid-year has been activated using the old calculation method, then multiple mid-year contract changes for an employee will not calculate correctly.
