Summary of 6.3.0 Changes

• Tax tables updated. Run from April to June 2024. (Expect another update mid June 2024.)

• Pop-up hints: Can change the background colour.

• Update to major forms to fit 4:3 aspect when PC screen size permits. (This may have issues if Windows display scaling is set too high.)

• Pay slips:
  Fix to generating Terminated Only employees. Selecting it doesn't set the slips been printed state.
  Logging improved when emailing. Send button not enabled until after authentication.
  The V5 version of Payslip.exe is no longer distributed with V6 updates. Option to use it with V6 on Page 19 turns off during end-of-month and will need to be re-enabled if still required. This V6 option is deprecated and will eventually be removed. (The current file is still needed and retained when opening older E.O.Y or other backups when using V5.)
  

• Pay Entry can now select a department number.

• Improved support for dates when Windows region is not set to New Zealand. (Warning if not compatible.)

• Added support for new calculation of marginal Tax Rate for Extra Pay. (Not enabled as removed from the final IRD spec.)

• Sorting and Rebuilding - Temporary files are now located in Windows AppData/local/temp folders for all users.

• Reports:  More support the choosing of an employee when using Query.
  Employee name query selection list moved to a separate window. It initially only shows employees matching the selected Included Status for the chosen report.

• Settings: New option on Page 21 to use the P.E date, instead of Pay-day, for filenames and folders when date options for these are enabled.
