General
🔥Reports & Charts
The following changes are apart of our general modernization updates to the system. For more information on the updates related to general user experience changes and reporting, please see this short Video. Visual Refresh of Reports
Changes have been made to Ready reports that enhance the user experience, making them easier to read, easier to navigate, and easier to use.
Alternating rows are colored, making it easier to track rows in reports with many columns.
Rows are taller, making it easier to read the data.
System views and newly saved views now have a default data to charts ratio of 60% (data) to 40% (charts). This allows the user to see more report data.
Note: Reports in which charts have been manually sized will not be subject to this ratio.
Beyond appearances, other visual cues have been updated.
Users will now see a more modern three-dot animation rather than a running circle when a report is loading.
A new message and associated graphic will display when there is no data available for the report.
The updated pagination control for responsive reports has been moved to the bottom right of reports, and gives users the ability to select the number of rows displayed, as well as navigate to the first and last pages of a report, and to the previous page of the report or the next page. This flexible navigation aids users in reviewing reports on devices with a variety of screen sizes.
Action Column (ellipsis) Now Available for Report Rows
Reports now have a dedicated column for actions that can be applied to each row. This new column is frozen on the right side of reports and is displayed in both the default view of a report and in saved views of reports.
The Actions column is displayed by default in the system view for most reports but can be disabled through the Add/Remove Columns functionality. There are some reports in which the Actions column is not enabled by default, but can be enabled as needed.
Note: The column will not be enabled in any existing saved views unless implicitly enabled in new views created/saved after this release.
Reports that do not have the Action column displayed in either the default views or in saved views include:
Calculated Time by Week (Counters) (My Reports > Time Reports > Calculated Time > Calculated Time By Week (Counters))
Calculated Time by Week (Time Entries) (My Reports > Time Reports > Calculated Time > Calculated Time By Week (Time Entries))
Tax Wage Details (My Reports > Payroll Reports > Taxes >Tax Wage Details >Tax Wage Details)
Earning Deduction Tax Summary (My Reports > Payroll Reports > Pay History > Earning/Deduction/Tax Listing (Summary))
Check Payroll Totals (Payroll > Process Payroll > Check Payroll Totals)
Labor Distribution (Summary) (Payroll > Reports > Labor Distribution > Labor Distribution (Summary))
New Employee Summary Column Available for Reports
A new column combining employee information such as their picture, full name, employee ID, and other information, as well as employee Quick Links, is now available in responsive reports. The Employee Summary column can display information that previously would need up to four columns to display, increasing the usable space in the report. This column is available in most reports where standard employee columns exist. The Employee Summary column will be displayed in the default view of these reports:
Employee Information (My Team > Employee Information)
All Timesheets (Time > Timesheets)
All Documents
Payroll Processing
Summary By Employee Staffing (My Reports > Schedule Reports > Staffing > Summary by Employee)
Note: This column is not currently supported in the Insights Explorer.
Users can choose the width of the column, the location of the column (left, center, right), give the column a custom name, select the secondary information displayed in the column, display the secondary information label, and whether the employee picture is displayed or not. Users can open the Column Settings pop-up window via the down arrow in the column header.
The Employee Summary column can be removed or added to a report by using the Add/Remove Columns functionality.
Note: The Employee Summary column is named "Employee: Employee Rich Summary" in the Add/Remove Columns pop-up window.
The Employee Summary column also includes an Employee Quick Links and Actions icon, which opens a pop-up window with hyperlinks to commonly used pages such as Pay Statement History or Current Timesheet. Actions available can include functions like Request Time Off.
Secondary Information Options
Default Divisions | Date Re-Hired | Date Review |
Employee ID | Default Jobs (HR) | Date Seniority |
Employee Status | Nickname | Date Started |
Date Hired | Pay Type | Username |
Checklists
🔥Employee Checklist Refresh
The following changes are apart of our general modernization updates to the system. For more information on the updates related to the checklist user experience, please see this short Video.
We are making significant updates to Employee Checklists! The Checklist framework is now transformed into a first class experience for users focusing on a more streamlined design that eliminates distractions and also enhances mobile usability.
These updates apply to users with a Checklist assigned to them and all the necessary security permissions to view the assigned Checklist. To view the Checklist, you can navigate via Mailbox, My Info > My HR > Checklist, or Team > HR > Checklist.
New Landing Screen
The redesigned Checklist landing page main content area consists of:
Checklist Name
Gear Icon: Edit Checklist (Admin)
Upload Icon: Upload Document
Download Icon: Download PDF
The Landing (or overview) page includes a list of Checklist Items within the Checklists. We have removed the legacy left-side panel. The Header is fixed and consists of a Back arrow and the screen name (Checklist).
Additional Landing Screen Improvements
Additional changes such as those below have also been made to the Landing Screen:
The progress bar is updated to a smaller one with full width.
The progress bar color is updated to a default light gray color, not white.
There is now bottom padding on the Desktop screen to ensure users stop scrolling at the end.
The title of the Checklist (i.e. Onboarding Checklist) has padding left and right.
Document Support
Documents added in the side panel are visible in the bottom attachment area and are available for download using a download icon. Documents must be visible in the tile and formatted in the current design. The following details are shown:
When attachments are added as a part of a Checklist configuration, they are visible below the Main Content area. The fill color and padding have been removed so the attachments can visually blend in with the main content
Form I-9 is now a mobile-first web form designed to reduce errors, clarify instructions, and simplify the completion process for both employees and managers. The redesign includes usability improvements, new validations, and enhanced accessibility.
Form I-9 includes the following key enhancements:
The system supports the latest U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) version. Hyperlinks in the form direct you to relevant USCIS guidance.
The mobile first design ensures a responsive, user-friendly experience on any device.
All Form I-9 sections support accessibility.
Form I-9 sections can expand or collapse as needed.
Improved tooltip messages in Section 1 offer clear guidance.
Multiple new validations for allowed field values, required fields, and disabled fields support the intuitive form completion.
For Example: Address and Social Security Number fields are automatically validated. Another example are Lists A, B, and C, where selecting a document in Lists A, B, or C fills non-applicable fields with the N/A value.
Signature display logic has been improved. Regardless of the signature configuration on the Company Setup page, the employee's First and Last name will display on the Sign & Submit pop-up, based on entries in Section 1. For wet signatures, the name fields do not pre-populate. The Today's Date field populates automatically based on the employee's locale.
Form fields now use clearer labels.
Section 2 displays a new Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents. checkbox for managers using a DHS-approved alternative to in-person document verification.
The My Form I9s checklist item hyperlinks to the web Form I-9.
Form I-9 supports versioning. Each submitted form retains its original version. Forms submitted before this release will continue to appear as PDF forms. Going forward, new forms remain in web format. All saved forms will contain the fields that applied as of the respective form version.
Payroll
🔥New Process Payroll Experience
The following changes are apart of our general modernization updates to the system. For more information on the updates related to the Process Payroll screen, please see this short Video.
The Process Payroll landing page was redesigned to a simplified payroll processing experience, crafted to enhance your payroll management tasks with a streamlined and user-friendly interface. The new process payroll experience improves navigation and provides flexible payroll options and comprehensive management features—all designed to make your workflow more efficient.
Tip: Switch to old experience / Switch to new experience buttons are available at the top of the page to allow you to switch between the old and new experiences. The top section shows upcoming payrolls in the next six days.
Various actions are available in the payroll cards:
Run: When selected, you are navigated to the Review pay information page where you can view supporting reports (pre-processing, processing, review your data) import / add pay statements, and edit payroll data.
Edit Settings: Select to edit the payroll's settings.
Payroll Quick Links: When selected, various links to reports and pages display such as General Ledger (Summary), Payroll Prep Process, Payroll Comparison, and View Pay Statements.
Delete: Select to remove the payroll.
If there aren't any payroll cards at the top of the page, it means that you've already begun processing your upcoming regular payrolls or you don't have any in the next six days. In that case, you might see a Pick up where you left off section with a card for each payroll that is in progress, including a Continue button.
Toward the bottom of the page is an Other options section which displays payroll types.
Note: Only the payroll types (next to the Security Profile Create/Edit Payroll option) that are checked for the user will display in the Other options section.
You can now end performance reviews directly from the Performance Review report page. A new End option lets you select one or more employees and stop their in-progress reviews. This option is located under the ellipsis on the report page.
Note: This option is only available for reviews with a status of In Progress.
When you select End, a confirmation message appears: "This action will end the selected performance review(s), making them read-only and no longer editable. Would you like to continue?"
After you confirm, the Status column updates to show Ended. This action is:
- Logged in audit reports
- Compatible with accessibility tools
- Available in supported languages
Scheduling
Auto Estimate Schedule Costs
A new option, Auto Estimate Schedule Costs, allows costs to be calculated prior to running the Summary by Employee report so that the cost appears without having to click the Estimate Costs button. Single changes to costs are automatically made to the individual without the need to recalculate all employees in the schedule or report. The auto estimate updates every five minutes.
A new column, Schedule Cost per Day, has been added to the Summary by Employee report which displays the calculated schedule cost for each day and employee. A sum total for each day is displayed. The cost totals take into consideration schedule filters.
In the Global Setup > Company Setup > Global Policies page, the Work Schedule Policies and TLM Policies section titles have been changed to Scheduler Policies and Scheduling Policies. It is within this section that the new Auto Estimate Schedule Costs option exists.
