KeyPay 5.055.0807 Changes

This update fixes a bug when expired and the path to data contains spaces, which corrupts the path being sent to V6 and therefore it cannot find any data.

Build 0421: Includes KeyPay 6.2.2 and new PDF files

Build 0420:

Bug fix changes to Sick leave for Casual employees. Also implements changes made to V6 to support Sect 63 2b of the Holidays Act and remain compatible.

Build 0228:
Tax updates for April 2023 included.
EOY Maintenance: Changes to Bureau Versions when Rebuilding files.
EOY Maintenance: Archive purge for all users with rebuilding via local/temp.
Bug fix to archiving for Casual employees with Extra Pay.
Fix to Multiple ED report/files.
Fix to false YTD Balance check after EOY.
Fix to End of File error opening older payrolls with V6.
V6 – Added option to auto schedule pay-entry of multiple employee 2 and 4 wk pay-cycles. e.g. Pay 4 weekly employees every fourth week on weekly payroll.

Changes Version to 5.054 follow:

Build 1215:

Minor Fixes to V5.
Major change is to V6.1.5 - Fix to Tax Tables and Max EEM setting.

Build 1031:
Fix to Child support transactions of zero amount being archived when no payment made or employee not paid.
Fix to Check mode activated after successful Balance Check. Now updated when posting and checked on exit. Ensures checking integrity when two pays processed together. e.g Weekly and Monthly fall on same date and are done and posted without exiting KeyPay.
Fix to EI return to the header line total of student loans following clarification by IRD that it should only include the standard values, as the CIR and BOR deductions in V2 have their own separate header totals. Prior to this release the header total is of all three combined.   

Full details and issues with use are in the release notes.

Changes below applied to Version 5.053 are all included

  • Build 0726 – Bug Fix for Range Error when generating IRD returns for new employees with pay-day offset more that -2 days. Both V5 and V6
  • Build 0719 – Bug Fixes: Payslip emailing and associated sample ini files updated plus employee files are internally time stamped when sorted. Both V5 and V6
  • Build 0617 – Bug fix for divide by zero error during pay entry. Added local file sorting method for some Bureau versions to avoid renaming of files.
  • Build 0530 – Delays added when sorting on Bureau Versions.
  • Build 0425 – Detects and removes any old data files used by MegaBasic prior to upgrade to Version 5 in 2013 and are no longer relevant.  
  • Build 0407 – Includes a bug fix to the EI return and report if a pay-day offset is being used.
    The starting date of the paid-period interval was not taking the offset into account with the result that the reported pay-interval related to the pay-day instead of period end. The start date is supposed to be the day after the previous pay period ending date. i.e if your pay week ran Monday to Sunday and the pay-day offset was -1, it would report the week as Tuesday to Sunday.
  • Build 0220 – Code supporting the old monthly filing of EMS and the original V1 pay-day filing ED & EI formats have now been removed. Also the EI and ED filenames are restored to the original names. Option to disable sending of Hours Paid on EI return. (Needed when units are not in hours.) Some minor bug fixes.
  • It is safe to now use V6 and recommended. Previous concerns with the EOY in V6 were unfounded.
