USPS Releases
Bug Fixes
An issue with orphaned Positions being included in a payroll when pay groups were removed from payroll was corrected. This issue was only happening when the Delete option was selected from the Modify Payroll - Pay Groups grid.
The side effect was an orphaned Employee Pay record would cause behind the scenes errors on the Pay Report.
When importing a 'Retro' type of New Contract and the Contract Work Days are provided in the import file, the value was not being set on the New Contract. This has been corrected and will now be updated on the New Contract as expected.
The Earnings Register Report was updated to properly handle refund payments with multiple transactions. The report previously listed the payment twice causing balancing issues.
Improvements
When no label is provided to search old Compensations, new Contract will now exclude Archived Compensations when searching for Active Compensations.
Here is the process to determine which compensation to select:
1. Verify Employee Number is provided
2. Verify Position Number is provided
3. Verify New Contract Type is provided
4. Lookup employee by number / if no employee found, try SSN / Otherwise return an error
5. Lookup position by number / if no position found return an error
6. Use the Position and Compensation Label to lookup the compensation
a. If the compensation label is blank or null
i. Find the first active compensation -excluding Archived Compensations.
1. Search for all contract compensations
a. If none are found return an error
2. If 1 contract is found, return it
3. If multiple contracts are found
a. Find all that are not legacy compensations and sort by contract stop date. Take the last compensation (most recent)
b. If the compensation label is not blank
i. Find the compensation that matches the position and label
1. If more than one found, an error is returned
When docking an employee, no matter if the employee's Compensation>Stretch Pay checkbox is marked or not marked the following will happen:
Amount Earned will remain the same.
Amount Paid should be increased by their Pay Per Period minus the Dock amount.
Amount Dock should be increased by the Dock amount.
