Empeon Release Notes - June 2022
Welcome to: Document Share
Document share allows you to quickly and easily share documents with employees, who can then electronically complete and sign, or acknowledge receipt of the documents. With this feature you can also efficiently track which employees did or did not complete/acknowledge the document.
Please Note! This feature is only available with the HR subscription.
Document Builder - Signing Order
Previously, when a document which required both the employee and employer input was included in an Onboarding packet, the employee had to first complete their part of the document and then the employer would be able to complete their part. With this release, you can manage the signing order of the document and manage who completes their part first, the employer or the employee.
NY Home Care Wage Parity View
A wage parity section was added to the employee pay entry and pay history windows. This section provides a full overview of the wage parity calculation. It is broken down by the following types:
- Liability = “Total Compensation” required for hours subject to wage parity per location (currently $19.09 for NYC and $18.22 for Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties).
- Cash = The actual cash paid for hours subject to wage parity.
- Offset = Benefits (or additional cash) – given to employee even when not subject to wage parity – that offset wage parity liability. For example, a New York Sick accrual policy.
- Benefit = Benefits given to employee through the wage parity module as a result of the wage parity calculation.
The configuration button enables the user to view in summary or in detail based on the columns selected. For example, adding the punch fields will show the calculation (liability, cash and some benefits) broken down per punch. There is also an option to download to excel for further analyses.
