Configuration
Mobile
The mobile Weekly Availability screen can now be turned on or off in RMS (14158)
In the Weekly Availability screen of the Mobile App, employees submit their weekly availability schedule to their manager for approval. In previous releases of the Mobile App, the Weekly Availability screen could only be turned off by contacting UniFocus.
In this release, administrative users at the property can now turn on or off the mobile Weekly Availability screen from the Mobile Configuration screen in RMS. If the screen is turned off, employees will not see the screen in the app.
Show or hide excused points in Mobile Attendance Points Tracking (21393)
In this release, a new Show Excused Points check box has been added to the Mobile Configuration screen in
RMS
(Setup > Mobile). If the Show Excused Points check box is selected on the Mobile Configuration screen inRMS
, the employee can see their excused attendance points by opening the details view on the Attendance Points screen of the UniFocus Mobile App. Excused points do not count toward the points total.Time off types
Customization of Time Off Types appear in the Mobile App (19088)
In previous releases, users viewing time off types in UniFocus Mobile App would see all available time off types listed in the order in which they were created on the Time Off Types screen (Setup > Employee > Time Off Types). For example, in the Time Off Types screen, an administrative user configured three time off types in the following order: Sick, Unpaid Personal, and Vacation. If an employee opened the New Time Off Request screen in the Mobile App, the available time off types would be Sick, Unpaid Personal, and Vacation.
In this release, the Time Off Types screen now includes the following options for each time off type:
- A priority number to specify the order in which it appears in Mobile App.
- A check box to specify whether the time off type appears in Mobile App.
For example, in the Time Off Types screen, an administrative user can configure Sick, Unpaid Personal, and Vacation time off types but then specify that users see only Vacation and Sick (in that order) in Mobile App.
Work rules
Modification to the Hours Distribution Accrual work rule (19924)
The Hours Distribution Accrual Benefit Accrual work rule (Setup > Work Rules > Benefit Accrual) has been updated with a Max Running Accrued parameter for specifying a limit to the number of hours that an employee can accrue within a year.
Modification to the Daily Weekly Day Off Consec Days OT with Min Break work rule (20139)
In previous releases, when an employee worked two shifts that were fewer than ten hours apart, only the time within the configured Min Break period was paid as overtime.
In this release, a new configuration option has been added to the Daily Weekly Day Off Consec Days OT with Min Break Hours Distribution work rule. Users can now choose to pay overtime for hours within the configured period or to pay overtime for the entire second shift.
Custom warning messages added to Punch Validation work rule (20670)
In previous releases, when an employee's punch triggered a Punch Validation warning or lockout, a generic message appeared on the Time Clock screen.
In recent releases, options to customize the Job Lockout Message, Lockout Message, and Warning Message were added the Punch Validation work rule configuration. Administrative users responsible for work rule configuration can now write custom messages that appear on the Time Clock screen when an employee triggers a warning or lockout.
In this release, the Punch Validation work rule includes three more custom message options, including:
- Invalid Job Lock Out message—If Enable Lockouts is selected, the Invalid Job Lock Out message displays on the time clock when the employee attempts to punch in to an invalid job.
- Invalid Job Warning message—If Enable Warnings is selected, the Invalid Job Warning message displays on the time clock when the employee attempts to punch in to an invalid job.
- Unscheduled message—The Unscheduled message displays on the time clock when the employee attempts to punch in to a job they are not scheduled for.
Improvement to the Break Period Penalty work rule (21032)
In previous releases, when configuring the Break Period Penalty Post-Calculation work rule, you had to use the Other Earnings field to manually add all additional earnings that you wanted to include in the rate calculation.
In this release, the Break Period Penalty work rule now includes a Pay FLSA Regular Rate check box. Selecting this check box automatically factors in all additional earnings that are included in the FLSA regular rate.
Modifications to the Anniversary Year work rule (21096)
In previous releases, benefit expiration and rollover required the configuration of separate work rules. In this release, the Anniversary Year Benefits Expiration work rule (Setup > Work Rules > Benefit Expiration) has been updated with new parameters that enable both the expiration and rollover of accrued hours.
New parameters:
- Factor—Factor to apply to the earning. Earning total dollars = Hours × Rate × Factor.
- Pay Expiration—When this check box is selected, the expiration is paid out to the specified expiration earning at the home job rate.
- Pay Expiration Earning—Earning to which the expiring amount is paid. The earning type is selected from a drop-down list.
