Summary

This release of USPS contains bug fixes, improvements and new features. See highlights below.

This version of USPS contains a patch to update payroll history for qualified overtime. Start up will be delayed while the patch is applied.

Each of these pay amounts that are to be included in the qualified overtime calculations, determined by the FLSA Overtime flag, will have a qualified overtime value calculated. Once calculated the value will be stored in the Historical Pay Amount table.
