Release Notes (February 2026)
Summary
This document will outline the items that will be released in the next system update. The next system release is scheduled for February 5th, 2026. If you have any questions regarding the notes listed below, please contact your designated Green Leaf representative(s).
General
Reports & Charts
Multi-EIN Employees Appear Once in Reports and Charts
When a report contains the Employee Summary column, and an employee is assigned to multiple EIN, the employee will now appear only once in charts and groups. Previously, the employee was listed separately for each EIN they were assigned to.
HR
E-Verify
An Improvement to E-Verify Case Status Monitoring
A new Sync Case button helps HR teams track Form I-9 processing progress and address issues faster.
Issue Addressed
The Elevated system synced case statuses only through the E-Verify nightly job. This process sometimes created differences between statuses in E-Verify and Elevated, which delayed authorization confirmation. For example, a case may show 'Employment Authorized' in E-Verify while the status in Elevated still shows 'Incomplete' with the message “E-Verify needs more time”.
Resolution
Managers can select the Sync Case button to pull the latest case status from E-Verify so the status in Elevated matches federal records.
For example, you may update a case directly in E-Verify during the day. These changes do not appear in Elevated immediately, so the Sync Case button helps you have the latest case status reflected.
If managers do not select the Sync Case button, the system syncs case statuses overnight. When admins add a case in E-Verify, they can see the updated case status the next day.
HR Actions
HR Actions: Interface Updates and Modernization
We have updated and revamped the HR Actions functionality in the User Interface by providing a more modern experience to all customers.
HR Actions: Tab Layout Updated
The Available tab layout for HR Actions now provides a modern experience for all customers. The page layout has been converted to use Tabs, and the styling of the filters is updated. The Search has been moved under the tabs.
Learning Management System (LMS)
Already Assigned Courses No Longer Visible for Self Enrollment
We have improved how course options appear during self enrollment.
When employees self enroll in trainings, the Browse and Select Course lookup list now displays only courses that aren't already assigned to the employee.
Previously, the Browse and Select Course pop-up showed all courses available in the company. This created confusion when many trainings were available.

Scheduling
Scheduler
Daily Shift Costs in Scheduler View
There had not been a way to see individual daily costs per employee in the schedule view. Now, it is possible to view these costs in the Employee Schedule Detail window.
Note: This requires the Auto Estimate Schedule Costs to be enabled (Global Setup > Company Setup > Global Policies, Scheduler Policies) The refresh option is within the window for the estimated costs per day for the employees listed. Also, the Refresh action in the metrics section refreshes the estimated costs per day for the employees on the current page.
Scheduler Home New Experience
A new Scheduler Home page is available to reduce time in the creation, setup, and management of schedules. New schedules no longer have the requirement for cost centers or skills by default, unless you have marked them as required.
The 'Try the new experience' toggle at the top-right of the Schedules page converts the page to the new experience.
The new page presents an easy to view experience of your schedules and assignments. Sections on this page include:
- Your schedules - displays up to ten new schedules at a time.
- Selecting the name of the schedule takes you to the Week View of the schedule.
- The 'Add new' button allows you to add a new schedule.
- The 'View full report' link brings you to the full list of schedules.
- The Actions menu offers options such as Add New Shifts To Schedule, Open in Month or Day View, and Manage Settings.
- Create a new schedule - allows for the creation of a new schedule from a blank schedule, from a saved template or previously week, or from an uploaded document.
- Settings & Templates- allows you to set skills, cost centers, templates and more for the employees of the schedule by using the links for People, Teams & Cost Centers, Skills, Shift Templates, and Schedule Templates. Each option takes you to the appropriate page for setup.
Additional Details
If you create a new shift from the Open Shift window, the Save option now contains a drop-down option to save it as a template, adding it to the library of shift templates which are available as a selection for quick assignment or as a base for a new schedule.
Auto Deduct Lunch From Totals
The 'Include Lunch in Totals' option in Schedule Settings controlled whether lunch times were included in total scheduled hours shown at the top of the schedule page but did not affect what displayed in the shift pop-up window upon creation. Now, if the setting is enabled, the shift pop-up accurately displays the correct total including the lunch deduction.
Scheduled vs Actual Report Cost Calculation
When generating the Scheduled vs Actual report, the report Filter allows you to Include Shifts as a report feature. If this is selected, a new Include Cost option is available to bring schedule cost data from Scheduler.
