Build 423 8-9-2023

  • Employee Analysis report. Fix to missing monthly salary leave adjustment item.

  • Back Ups: Added missing option on configuration page 21 to apply pay-day offset to
    dates and report filenames.     Now compatible with V5.

  • Dialogue Options: Back up can show either folders or files when selecting a location.  Recommend trying changing the type if experiencing issues. Note that this setting does not transfer from V5 and must be re-enabled under V6 as the setting is store in a different location.

  • Auto Pay frequency: Added in V 6.1, this option uses the old location of above dialogue option. It allows the pay interval check boxes at pay entry to be ticked whenever that period is due. e.g. Fortnightly ticked every second weekly pay.

  • Pay Slips: Printing and emailing has used a separate program for many years and has badly needed updating to support newer TLS email encryption. It is also now built-in to KeyPay 6, but has a setting option to revert to the older one there are issues. It reports the number of slips separated into printing and emailing and checks that both were completed when exiting. 

  • Average Rate calculations: These have been revised and archived reports should more closely agree with the values calculated at posting. Monthly payrolls have been particularly challenging as they record standard hours for each month rather than time actually worked. This distorted the results if an extra monthly pay was processed for non time related payments.

  • Other Changes: Many minor bug fixes and updates. Pop-up hints have been reviewed and improved. Windows DPI scaling rechecked. Scaling increases the size of windows and fonts for small screens having higher resolutions in newer versions of Windows and can be problematic when a window size changes after being scaled.
