Build 481: 16th July 2025

Bug Fixes:

ED files:  Fix to blank Birth dates and stop of new employee repeating on next pay when not paid.

Paste of IRD Numbers: When field contents deleted now fills with correct number of zeros.

Global Terminations: New option under Employees. Requires activation as part of Clear-Out process.

Control Report: Can now show imported pay entries while still in the Pre-Entered state until a pay is accepted.  Allows checking of the importing process.

Updates to 6.3.3

  • Tax Tables: Updated for year ending March 2026.

  • Extra pay – Some methods for calculating annualised earnings to determine the marginal tax rate have changed

  • ESCT rate: Updated method to determine new employee’s rate in first year 

  • Pay Entry Importing: Added hours to days conversion codes for sick and Alt days taken. (Replace SKL with SKH, and DDL with DDH.)

  • Pay Entry Options: Corrected tab order.

  • Pay Entry: Added skip employee button.

  • Pay Entry: Can now undo a Terminated employee using the Clear Pay Button.
    Some caveats apply:-
    1. The Pay has not been posted.
    2. Payslips, IRD and payment reports have not been generated.
    3. Employee still shows as terminated in Pay Entry.
    4. Terminations must be enabled in Pay Entry Options.

  • Pay Entry and Extra Payday (Not for EOM post): This version simplifies this feature by asking for a pay period ending date, which must be within the current pay period.

  • Bug Fix: Range Check Error when Backup Path was empty fixed.

  • Archives: The select employee dialogue initially displays in Emp No. Order and can be changed by clicking the relevant heading name. The selected display order is now retained for subsequent lookups until the Archives system is closed.

  • Printing: Selecting landscape now applies to more reports that maybe subject to column or totals overlapping. Selecting it may only apply to one report in a batch, such as leave liability. Reports that never overflow in portrait won’t switch. Overflow usually only affects reports with YTD values.
