Sept 26, 2016 release notes

Workforce Management Enhancements

Last week we launched our new Workforce Management Clock and a redesigned WebClock. Today’s release adds a single-sign-on to the employee self-service portal. Pressing the ESS button on the new WebClock will take an employee directly into their employee portal.

As we continue to enhance our Workforce Management Suite with additional schedule-aware features, employers need the ability to indicate that some employees are not expected to follow a schedule. As of today, employee profiles now include a field called Enforce Schedule, which can be set to 'Do not enforce' for employees who are not required to follow a schedule.

New API enters Beta testing

We have released a new TimeWorksPlus API to beta testers! Contact your representative for more information.

Improvements

• Improved the performance of the employee self-service portal in modern browsers.
• Fixed several issues with migrations from TimeWorks to TimeWorksPlus:
  • The email address entered during migration will now receive notification of the migration.
  • Changes to the migration date will now be reflected in the admin and will be honored for triggering the migration.
• Fixed a display issue with alert messages so they now appear correctly in the new WebClock when it is used within the employee self-service portal.

Fixes

• Schedule name can now be displayed under Pickup Shifts, even in the mobile app.
• Adding codes to an employee’s profile no longer requires a page refresh to reveal the newly added codes. Clarity, I choose you.
• Fixed several issues impacting companies that do not use Sunday as their week start day. The scheduler now starts on the current week when launched. This was also fixed in the mobile app. Employee preferences (employee availability) now behaves correctly in multi-week configurations.
• Fixed an issue where employees who were assigned a shift in a previously viewed period continued to appear when viewing a new time period, even though they no longer met the filter criteria. You can now view the future with confidence–we have removed the imposters.
• Fixed an issue where the current assignee's name was truncated in the list of shifts available for pickup.
• Fixed an issue with saving shifts for clients using the dd/mm/yyyy date format.
• Fixed an issue that could occur when repeatedly loading the Employee Dashboard.

• Fixed an issue with punch information belonging to one employee being reassigned to another employee with a reused PIN number.
• The timecard column named ‘Break’ has been renamed ‘Deducted Time.’ This will prevent confusion when enhanced break and meal tracking is introduced in coming weeks.

TimeSimplicity 2.41.0 release notes for June 14, 2016

Enhancement for Workgroups

You can now set effective dates and expiration dates for employees’ workgroups! This allows you to specify the period in which an employee can be scheduled to work in the workgroup.

Workgroup effective dates and expiration dates can be set or changed:

• On the Workgroups tab of an employee’s profile (Employee > Employee > Employee name > Workgroups tab)
• On the Employees tab of a workgroup (Employee > Workgroup > Workgroup Code > Employees tab)

Note: Workgroups have been moved from the Rules tab to their own tab in employee setup. This reflects the central role workgroups play in scheduling and will make it easier to see and maintain an employee’s workgroups.

The default workgroup effective date is 01/01/2001 and the default workgroup expiration date is 12/31/9999. These defaults ensure that employees will be essentially unbounded in their relationship to the workgroup, unless you set a more restrictive effective or expiration date.

Fixes

• Fixed several issues with manager override permissions and warnings.
• Fixed an issue with the Schedule All view where pressing the arrow advanced the date selector by more than one month in the 1-month view.
• Fixed an issue where time off requests and schedules were not appearing correctly when the company was set up to display only Monday through Friday.
• Fixed an issue where accepting shifts in a secondary workgroup could change that workgroup to the home workgroup. After all, there’s no place like home.
• Fixed an issue where null values appeared when a company was configured to keep notes bars visible.
• Fixed an issue where dashboard statistics would not display when Day/Month/Year format was selected in company Rules.
• Fixed an issue with expiration dates for Insperity integrations.
• Fixed an issue when displaying 3 or more org levels on pick up shifts.

TimeSimplicity 2.40.2 release notes for May 17, 2016

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where minor preference rules weren’t being enforced. Sorry about that!
• Fixed an issue that caused extra white space when sorting the Schedule all view by schedule name.
• Fixed an issue where printing from the scheduler screen would not display all open shifts if they were stacked on the same day.
• Fixed an issue with the TimeWorksPlus integration that caused inactive employees to create empty legacy workgroups.

Improvements

• Shifts Available for Pickup now show the same details as assigned shifts. Turns out employees prefer to know all the details before they sign up for more work! Go figure.

Enhancements

• Manager Dashboard – The Manager Dashboard will now show the count of "open" and "assigned" shifts for each day of the week. Managers can click on the provided links to see additional details.
• "Who can work this?" – Shifts can be assigned directly from the "Who can work this?" option rather than having to edit the shift after they have found the best fit candidate.
• Zip Code Distance – The list of shift candidates can be filtered by distance based on their zip code. E.g. Only display candidates who live within 20 miles of this shift.
• New Organization Level – A new Org Level called Division can be activated. Division allows for another assignment level which creates ease when scheduling floating or regional employees.
• Rename Divisions and Workgroups – The Division and Workgroup labels can be renamed to accommodate the client. E.g. Workgroup might be better titled as "Store."
• Rank Candidates by Skill – Employees can now be assigned skills, which can be used to rank them when searching for a candidate. Unlike certifications, which are used to restrict who qualifies for a shift, skills only impact sort order.
• Candidate Search – The layout of the Candidate Search page has been improved. The Action buttons have been moved below the selection table. You may also "select" and "unselect" all candidates from the provided checkbox in the header row.
• Certifications – Certifications can now be assigned to more than just the Position Org level.
• Login with Email Address – A setting can be turned on to allow Managers and Employees to log into TimeSimplicity using their email address as their username.
• Error Message – An error message will appear if a message is created from the Message Center without text in the body of the message template.
• Mobile Carrier – Suncom, Rogers, and Cricket have been added as Mobile Carrier provider options.

Bug Fixes

• Time Off Request Notification – Fixed a bug where a manager would not get a Time Off Request notification for an employee unless the manager had the "Schedule Request" notification turned on as well.
• Schedule Calendar – Fixed an issue where the "Employee Mode" only showed the employee's shifts that were assigned to the last workgroup viewed. Now, when the Employee Mode is selected, you can view any employee regardless of the workgroup previously selected.

Along with this enhancement, the name of the "Adjust Accrual Balances" tool will be simplified to "Accrual Balances."

Targeted Date: September 22, 2015 – TimeWorksPlus "Maintenance Release" will include the following:

Enhancements

• Employee Setup Pagination – We listened to your feedback and improved the Employee Setup pagination…even more! The Employee Setup page now defaults to the page size of 200 and the page selection options are now 100, 150, 200, 500, and 1000. You and your clients will receive a notification within the page that lets you know that you may experience a slower response time when a large page selection option size is selected.

Targeted Release Date: September 9, 2015 – TimeWorksPlus "Maintenance Release" will include the following:

Enhancements

• Nevada Overtime – TimeWorksPlus now offers a new overtime rule to accommodate Nevada's daily overtime rates requirements. The rule allows you to define the 24-hour workday i.e. midnight to midnight or 24 hours from shift start as well as determine if medical benefits should or should not apply when calculating overtime. Populating the pay rate field within the Employee Setup page is necessary as this Nevada daily overtime law is dependent on the hourly wage of the employee.

Bug Fixes

• Multi-Time Card Editor – Resolved an issue that was causing the Multi-Time Card Editor page to not load successfully if a special character was used in the Column Header field of a Clock Prompt.
• Multiple Site Management – When a Client Level login ID is selected from the Multiple Site Management feature that has an ampersand symbol (&) contained within the login ID, that login was not being recognized and resulted in their company not being selected by default. This issue has been resolved, and the ampersand symbol is now considered an acceptable character.
• BlendedPayRates – Resolved the issue that added two required fields to the Multitude Card Editor if the BlendedPayRates processing rule was active.
• Punch Notes Report – An error occurred when exporting the Punch Notes Report (via a CSV file) if multiple notes and/or comments were present on an employee's time card for a single day. The Punch Notes Report now recognizes multiple entries for a single day and will export to CSV as expected.

Targeted Release Date: September 9, 2015 – TimeSimplicity "Maintenance Release" will include the following:

Enhancements

• Descriptions in Schedule All View – The Schedule All view can now display a Description in the header bar. This allows for more detail to be shown, such as the address of a location where the employee is scheduled to work. This new option is found on the Schedule All View under Options. Look for "Header Display," which allows you to choose between Description or Code.
• Preserve Workgroup Description - Enhanced integrations so that workgroup description is no longer overwritten during synchronization unless the description field is blank.

Bug Fixes

• Open Shift Notifications - Resolved an issue that allowed employees to be notified of open shifts even though they were ineligible to pick them up due to company overtime rules.
• Expired Codes – Resolved an issue where an imported code was assigned as a secondary code even though the home code had already expired. Now when a new code is imported, if the home code has expired the new code will be assigned as the home code and the expired code will be changed to a secondary code.
• Truncating Org Codes – Resolved the issue where importing Organization Codes from TimeWorksPlus would sometimes result in a mismatch because the code would be truncated while the code assigned to the employee would not. Now Organization Codes longer than 15 characters will be truncated and assigned correctly to the client and employees.
• Exporting Schedules – Resolved the issue where manual integrations created overlapping schedules in TimeWorksPlus.

Target Release Date: August 25, 2015 –TimeWorksPlus "Maintenance Release" will include the following:

• Employee Setup pagination - The Employee Setup page will allow you to choose the number of employees to be viewed on the Employee Setup List i.e. 50, 100, 150, or 200. You can also easily navigate from page to page with the arrows located on the bottom-left side or by simply selecting the page number. This enhancement will create convenience especially for clients with a large number of employees.

Target Release Date: August 6, 2015

• Time Card Approvals – The Time Card Approvals feature now provides an option to disable employee editing for all approved punches. This is a new feature and compliments the current option to disable employee editing for the previous pay period's approved punches. This setting is only applicable for employees that have access to edit their own timecard through the Employee Self Service portal.
• Bulk Employee Import – The Bulk Employee Import feature now allows both the Employee Code and Employee Type data fields to be successfully imported. Previously when importing employee data that included an Employee Code and an Employee Type, a "duplicate header" warning would appear and the import could not be completed.

Target Release Date: July 7, 2015

• Labor Code Reporting – A new report will be added to the Reports Menu titled Labor Code Reporting, not to be confused with the Labor Report. The Labor Code Reporting option provides two ways to observe hours worked:
  • Show how an employee, or a group of employees, spent their time as it relates to a specific department or labor code.
  • Show how much time was spent by labor code, and by employee. Each option can also be customized to provide additional details as needed for reporting purposes. (Note: Some of you may be familiar with the Labor Code Reporting as it is a highly utilized report within TimeWorks.)
