Empeon Release Notes - April 2022
Introducing Late batch
You can now add/void punches on an employee's time cards even after they have been submitted.
Adjustments made to a submitted timecard can either be excluded from payroll or added to the current timecard and processed along with the current time card. The system will then mark the old record as adjusted.

New permission for Attendance reports
In this release, we have added a new permission that enables users to run and see only Attendance reports. Until now, in order to grant access to Attendance reports, you needed to grant the user access to all reports. This has been enhanced by adding a separate permission to Allow access to Attendance reports, so the user has access only to those reports.
You can change permissions in Organization portal > Roles.
Please Note! Users with filtered permissions (e.g. managers who have permission to only see their employees) will not be able to run these reports, though we are working to add this in the next release.
Post messages to employees within selected Departments, Locations etc.
You can now filter all Job Info fields when posting a message to employees, for example: Only send to employees who are in a particular department, location, or position.
Post messages by going to Actions > ESS Admin > Messages > Post new message.
Check date and Check/Voucher number available in Pay History > Earning detail table
In the employee's pay history, you can now bring in the check date and the voucher number into the earnings detail table.
Payroll audits now supports code group filter
You can now adjust payroll audits to flag you only for specific code groups. The earning code filter option has been added to the below audits:
- Hourly without hours
- Employee with Multiple rates
- Worked Hours Per Day
- Total Hours Per Check
Configure your payroll audits by going to Company > Rules & Alerts > Audits.
Added last change field to report list
The report list now shows when a report was last modified and who changed it.
Support for GTL earnings
Employee earnings cards were enhanced to support earnings type GTL. You do not need to enter a rate or amount when adding a GTL earnings unit.
Improved Performance for employee list
We have improved the performance and speed of the employee list loading, so it is now two times as fast.
