Flexible Expiring Leaves

We are now introducing a new functionality where HR Managers can plan when the remaining leave entitlements of the employee will expire. Prior, the remaining and unused entitlements would automatically expire on 31st of March.

Customer Benefits

This flexibility boosts employee satisfaction and retention, by adapting to individual needs and unexpected situations. If you prefer not to use functionality, simply leave the new field "Expiration after X Months" blank, and the system will handle the expiration automatically, according to the usual process.

Technical Details

Unused leave entitlements expire on March 31 of the following year. HR Managers can now set a different expiration date, in the Employment Terms. If no date is set. the system uses the default configuration. The entitlemet, with a flexible expiration remains valid until the end of employment, ot the specified date.If the expiry date falls within the same fiscal year, the leave will be classified as "Book Out".

The implementation was handled only in the code, and no Flows or Workflows were affected by any changes.

Customer Benefits

The training experience is now evem more user-friendly and convenient with the following majo changes:

Rollout Centers Rollout Centers are delivering the records to the designated employees. This means that the HR Manager, L&D Manager, and Training Administrators will receive the correct records.

Technical Details

The complete module comes out-of-the-box, ready to be used.

New Status for Time Account

In order to avoid mistakes, a new status reason for Time Account was introduced, called "Processing pending changes".

Customer Benefits

The objective of the new status is to indicate to HR Managers that a change in the attendance of the employee has occurred, leading to a change in the overtime of the employee.

Technical Details

Changes were implemented in the code.

Time Account Configuration visible by default

The Time Account Configuration section is now visible by default in the Employment Term and the Employment Term Template. Nothing will change for you.

Customer Benefits

The implementation of the Time Accounts is easier than never, and the only steps required in order to use is acctivate the workflow.

Technical Details

If you want to use the Time Accounts for the first time, please remember to install the Time Account Activation solution and configure the workflows it contains. You can find a guide on how to do this here

Change in Leave Entitlements originated from Time Account

To ensure the accuracy of Leave Entitlements, we have added a new feature.

Customer Benefits

As it may happen, the daily summary of the employee can change, thus changing the amount of hours worked on that day. This change will then affect the overtime, which generates the leave entitlements for the employee. With the new functionality, whenever a change happens, but the overtime has been already carried forward to the next period, the system will temporally change the status of the Time Account from Processed to Pending, signalizing to HR Managers that a change has occurred and now the system is working on it, to carry the correct value.

Technical Details

If the origin of the leave entitlement is Time Account and it has been already carried forward, and if the remaining value changes for the entitlement, the status is set to Processed Pending, then the system waits 3 minutes, and change the status back to Processed. This will ensure that the right value will be carried forward.

Customization of buttons in Employee Cockpit

Previously, the buttons in the employee cockpit were hardcoded, limiting their customization to developers who had to modify the code manually.

Customer Benefits

The system has now been enhanced to offer greater flexibility, allowing HR Managers (with the proper security role) to adjust and configure these buttons without needing technical expertise.

Technical Details

The customization of the buttons can be done in make.powerapps.com or inside the system, via the advanced settings.
