12/19/2018 USPS Completed Work Review
Releases Since Our Last Meeting (11/20/2018)
The benefit obligation reports have been updated to allow them to be ran "as of" a particular date. Typically this will be 6/30 of the prior fiscal year to support auditing requirements.
Two new canned reports have been added: Wage Obligation by Employee and Wage Obligation by Account. These reports can also be ran "as of" a particular date to support auditing requirements.

The district name will now appear in the upper left of the page header.
Mass load performance was significantly increased.
Foreign addresses were added to the W2 XML file.
Payroll items now show "to date" amounts on the payroll item detail screen.
