Release 2.43 – Wednesday – August 7th, 2019
Date: August 7th, 2019
Hello EasyClocking customers! We hope that all of you are well. It’s time for another release and this one was another small release with just a few items. Due to the changes mentioned in the previous release notes to our sprint development cycles and release testing strategies you will see that we are going to have faster updates. Below are the items that were developed or fixed on this update and we hope that you like them.
New Features:
- “Timecard Approval”- Ability to whether or not employees can “Self-Approve” their timecards: Created the option to configure whether or not an “Employee/Admin/Manager” can self-approve their own timecard if the user has the ability to manage timecards or access to the employee portal.
Enhancements/Add-ons:
- “Alerts & Notifications”- Completed Performance Improvement: We were receiving complaints that the “Alerts & Notifications” were not working properly, alerts where not being sent at all or if they were being sent, they were being sent during incorrect times throughout the day. We have completed performance improvements to make this more stable and reliable.
Fixed Errors/Bugs:
- “Xero Payroll Integration” – Hours were not sent to Xero after approving timecards: When a customer approves the timecard in the easy cooking cloud, the times were not transferring to Xero. The issue is now resolved and tested.
- “Payclass” error – Issue when trying to set “Double Time” to start at 38 hours in a week: Previously, the system did not allow the user to set up or to start paying OT after 38 hours in a week.
- REPORTS
- “Approval Status” report – Approved employee(s) time-cards with absences only were not reflecting as reviewed or approved: We have corrected the issue and it is now displaying as reviewed or approved.
