Important Information about 6.98.0

The 6.98.0 release of USPS improves the performance of batch job queries used in the Payroll Detail View. These changes to the queries were extensive and are used throughout the entire payroll process; initialization, validation, posting, unposting, and modifying / updating of pay groups. Multiple parallel testing applications were used to verify all queries were working as expected. The result is a Payroll Detail View that has better response time when polling batch job data. The view should no longer lock for districts who process payroll with 50+ pay groups.

If you run into any issues that are unexpected while processing payroll, please contact SSDT through the service desk.
