Budgeting

Account names with more than 45 character are now correctly displayed  (13674)

In previous releases of the Budgeting module, when a regular hours account had a description that was over 45 characters long, the account was not displayed in the Regular Hours Account field of the Edit/View Line dialog box (Main Menu > Labor > Budgeting > Manage Budget Lines). In this release, regular hours account names with descriptions exceeding 45 characters are now correctly displayed. 

Schedule Editor, Time & Attendance

setting. It must be activated in the Security screen. To activate this functionality, users must contact their UniFocus Configuration Specialist.

Warning

Warning: Copying scheduled shifts to time cards will delete ALL actual punches and replace them with the schedules.

Time & Attendance, Work Rules 

...

The Earning Rate work rule category (System Setup > Work Rules > Earning Rate) now includes an FLSA Earning Rate work rule. Users can apply this work rule to calculate FLSA regular rates of pay for employees. The FLSA Earning Rate work rule, which assigns rates based on the FLSA rate for the week, is calculated using the following formula: Total Pay / Total Hours = Regular Rate of Pay. The FLSA Earning Rate can be applied to an earning and then configured for users' Prompt For Fixed Earning work rule. 

Modification to the Prompt For Fixed Hours Earning work rule  (13882) 

In previous releases, the Prompt For Fixed Hours Earning work rule allowed users to configure a prompt message only on an Out Punch punch type. In this release, the Prompt For Fixed Hours Earning work rule (System Setup > Work Rules > Post Punch) has been modified so that users can configure a prompt message for one of the following punch types: 

  • Back Punch
  • Break Punch
  • In Punch
  • Out Punch 

If a punch type is selected, when employees punch with one of the selected punch types, they receive a prompt message. If employees enter a response of "No," an earning of a fixed amount is added to their time cards.

Recording employees' responses to the Prompt For Fixed Hours Earning questions  (13879)

In previous releases, employees' responses to Prompt For Fixed Hours Earnings punch questions (configured in Prompt For Fixed Hours Earning work rule) were not recorded. In this release, all employee responses (both Yes and No) are recorded. 

Prompt for Fixed Hours Earning work rule now allows 0 minimum hours worked  (13968) 

In previous releases of
