Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-76265	Pay Code Conversions: Pay Time Type Required and FICA/Medicare Fields Validated	Made the Pay Time Type field a required input for Pay Code conversions. Added validation to FICA/Medicare field to allow only valid inputs.
EFIN-89748	Email Links Redirect Correctly With Single Sign-On (SSO)	There was an issue with the link provided in an email to an approver for profiles using SSO. This has been resolved. When a user clicks an email link, they will be directed to the approval page if already logged in. Otherwise, the user will be directed to the login page first and after logging in the user will be directed to the approval page.
EFIN-93508	Employee Timesheets (ETS) Resolved Error in Time Display Caused by Daylight Savings Time	Changes were made to the Clock In and Out and Update Time pages to prevent a fatal error if the hours or minutes are set up as a blank or the date is invalid, for example the 32nd of any month. Changes were made to the Clock In and Clock Out times so that the time does not show in military time, even if the profile Show Local Timezone Time on Clock Page is set to No. Changes were made to the Clock In and Out page to add Clock In and Clock Out records to handle when when an employee enters time in Standard Time and you are in Daylight Savings Time, and vice versa, if time is entered in Daylight Savings Time and you are in Standard Time. It was making an incorrect adjustment when there was a difference between current time and the time it was entered, related to if you were in Daylight Savings Time or not. For example, November 4, 2022 was Daylight Savings Time for regions that observe it, but if you went to add a time clock record on November 7 for time worked on November 4, the profile to Show Local Timezone Time On Clock Page was causing an adjustment to the time because of a conflict with the current time (Standard Time) compared to the day you were entering (Daylight Savings Time) and saving it an hour off from what you entered. The same issue with the adjustment happened if you went to maintain a record that was entered in Daylight Savings Time when you are currently in Standard Time. The correction to the update option handles the conflict between the current time compared to the time it was entered as it relates to switching between Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time. Corrected the Time Clock Audit and Time Clock Status reports to handle when the time you are reviewing is in Daylight Savings Time and you are currently in Standard Time, or vice versa, and the profile is set to Show Local Time Zone, so that the time zone adjustment works properly.
EFIN-94093	Batch Journal Entries	Corrected how the cash budget balance flag is checked to prevent false messages about the general ledger balance being exceeded.
EFIN-95617	New Employee Access Center (EAC) Task List when Impersonating a User	In new EAC when impersonating a user, the task list displayed was the user's task list instead of the impersonated employee's task list. This has been corrected.
EFIN-95697	Salary Amounts on Payroll Register Report	Corrected error on salary amounts in the Payroll Register Report when the salary includes docking amounts.
EFIN-95857	New Employee Access Center (EAC) Security Questions and Password Reset Links Do Not Appear When Using Single Sign-On	In new Employee Access Center, for districts using single sign-on, employees will no longer set or answer security questions and the link to Reset Password will no longer appear irrespective of the Reset Security Options checkbox.
EFIN-97046	Default Landing Page in New Employee Access Center (EAC)	In EAC, on the Profile Maintenance page when Login Setup is selected, if an administrator edits Identifier 2147, Initial Page after Login, the selected page will be the landing page when employees log in to New EAC or an administrator impersonates an employee. If Print W2s or W2C Forms is selected, the Tax Forms page will be the default landing page. Previously, new EAC always loaded the Demographics page as the landing page.
EFIN-97261	Fixed - Expense in Tibco Not Moved to Complete and Reimbursable Attachment not Appearing	Approved expense forms were not updated correctly to Complete status and even though the payable was created for the expense, the attachment did not appear. This has been resolved. The status updates correctly and the attachment is available.
EFIN-97575	Default Landing Page for W2C Forms in Employee Access Center (EAC)	In EAC, on the Profile Maintenance page when Login Setup is selected, if an administrator sets Identifier 2147, Initial Page after Login, to W2C Forms: New EAC displays the Tax Forms page. Legacy EAC displays the Print W2s page. The default login page appears when an employee logs into EAC or when an administrator impersonates an employee.

EFIN-93386	W2 Processing - Minor Display Adjustments on Save Import Mapping	Minor display adjustments were made to an import function used throughout the software. The Save Import Mapping page will now no longer have large whitespace gaps, and a close action item will no longer appear when importing boxes 12 or 14 in W2 processing.
EFIN-93438	After Creating W2Cs User Is Directed to Search Criteria	When W2Cs were created, after the user clicked OK on the processing pop-up to close it, the user was directed into edit mode with the last record loaded appearing in the edit area of the page. If the user did not enter an employee number and created W2C records for every W2 that exists for a Control Number, the last record loaded may have been in the middle of the list of employees, which was confusing as a user. With this update when the W2Cs are created, the user is directed into the Search Criteria section of the W2C Processing - W2C Employee File Update page. No record data appears in the edit area of the page. The user needs to perform a search, then select an employee record to enter edit mode.
EFIN-93568	Completion Status of Setup Employer Records in W2 Processing	In the W2 Processing wizard, if a user clicks Finish on the Set Up Employer Records step, the checkbox on the W2 Processing page indicates the step has been completed with the checkbox populated. Menu Path: From Human Resources, select Periodic Routines. From the Year End menu, select W2 Processing. Select Set Up Employer Records, edit if needed, then click Finish.
EFIN-94438	Corrections to 1099-G and 1099-INT Edit List in Excel	The following changes have been made to the Excel version of the Edit List for 1099-G and 1099-INT: The Excel column headers for the 1099-G and 1099-INT have been corrected to use friendly names. DOING BUSINESS AS column is added to Excel. Corrected the box values in Excel and pdf to print decimals.
EFIN-95156	Removed Extra Space in ACA Hours Tracking Load Pages	Excess blank space has been removed in the ACA Hours Tracking load pages.
EFIN-96516	PDF and Excel Report Changes for ACA Benefit Status Code Table	On the Benefit Status Table page, if a user clicks the Print icon to create a report: The Screen (PDF) option prints the offer code description as a legend. The Excel option includes the offer code and description as a pair. Menu path: From Human Resources, select Periodic Routines. From Affordable Care Act, select ACA Hours Tracking. From the action bar, select Benefit Status Table, perform a search, then click the Print icon.
EFIN-97056	ACA 1095 Creation Improvement when Using Job Classes	The logic during 1095 Creation that matches check history to benefit groups has been modified to give precedence to job classes associated with primary pay rates. This affects only the check history calculation method, Previously, if an employee's check history had multiple job classes in a month, and those job classes matched multiple benefit groups, the job class with the highest value would be used. Now, a job class matching the employee's primary pay rate will take precedence, followed by a job class matching a non-primary pay rate, and finally a job class that does not match a pay rate.
EFIN-97060	1099-NEC and 1099-MISC Fields Display Asterisk when Required	On the 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC maintenance pages, when Foreign Address is selected, Foreign State, Foreign Postal Code, and Foreign Country Code fields display an asterisk symbol to identify the fields as required. Previously, the Foreign Country Code label did not display an asterisk because of the length of the field name.
