New Features May 2021 - Release Notes

The following corrections and improvements were implemented with this AbaSalary update:

Corrections

• The problems with processing payments have been resolved. Please contact the support if you still have difficulties creating a payment.
• Cancellation of payment orders now also works reliably.
• Unwanted rounding of wage values (e.g. hourly rate) has been removed again.
• Employees with payment amount 0.00 or negative payment ( receivable) can now also be definitively processed.
• Employees with the status "Modified" could only be deleted in the settlement after a new settlement. This is now possible without a workaround.
• Employees with the status "Settled" can now also be conveniently deleted without selection.
• In the canton settings, the entitlement provision (paper / electronic) was displayed in reverse. Now "paper" is also displayed for "paper".
• For various payroll types, the translations for French were corrected or supplemented.
• Some technical adjustments should reduce the frequency of login problems.

Improvements

• The detailed view of payroll accounting is now displayed on a separate page and at the same time represents the launch of comprehensive improvements in the settlement section. The delivery will be staggered with the updates May, June & August.
• The designation of various payroll types can now be overwritten individually. This can be done in the personnel master (long-term) or directly in the payroll (only for current payroll).
• Certain payroll types can be entered more than once. These entries are now listed as a detail item on the printed settlement.
• Various allowance and expense types can now be entered either as a fixed amount or with a number and rate.
• Long and often requested: message texts for payroll accounting. A text can now be entered in the personnel master under "Employment relationship - Employment". This text will be displayed on the printed pay slip. A fixed text can be entered for each employee.
• Ebenfalls auf vielfachen Wunsch hin umgesetzt: Eine Konfiguration für das Valutadatum der Zahlungsdateien. Die Einstellung befindet sich unter "Firma - Zahlungen".
• Also implemented by popular request: A configuration for the value date of the payment files. The setting can be found under "Company - Payments"..
• In the employee selection, the selected order is now saved (list and card view).
• Documents for the personnel dossier can now also be added via drag & drop and several documents can also be added together.

Known Problems

• The back button in the detailed view of the payroll may lead to a previous month. The problem only occurs if the previous month has not yet been definitively closed.
• When accessing the wage simulation from the personnel master, the month January is preselected. If the person has already been settled (which is very likely for January), an error message appears. However, the desired month for the simulation can still be selected (possibly by clicking twice) and the simulation can then be started.

Note

With this update, the technical requirements for upcoming functions in AbaSalary were created and a total of over 73 tasks were implemented.

Nevertheless, if something does not run smoothly: Please let us know the problem. The easiest way is to use the "Help" button at the bottom right.
