Summary

Select the release feature from the table below to be taken directly to that section of the release note.

Release date for all features: January 5th, 2023

Termination Across Shared Sites

• Enabled by Default? - No
• Set up by customer Admin? - No
• Enable via Support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No
• Roles Affected: - All Managers with employee sharing. 

What's Changing?

We have added a new company setting, that when enabled for clients using employee management sharing, will terminate an employee across at all sites when the termination is initiated from the home store. 

Reason for the Change

Giving the managers at an employee's home store the ability to apply a termination that affects all locations reduces the need for duplicate work and/or delays or missed terminations. 

Customers Affected

Only customers that manually share employees in HS with Employee Management Sharing. This only affects clients if the company setting is set to "Terminate employees across all shared locations." 

Release Note Info/Steps

Set "Staff- Termination Across Shared Sites" to Terminate employees across al shared locations." in ASC > Company Settings to have terminations initiated from the home store apply to all shared locations. Terminations at a borrowed store will continue to only affect the borrowed store. 

Managers at the home store will then receive a warning that the termination will apply to all shared locations and the employee's shifts will be hours at all locations. 

The terminated employee will have all employee shares removed and their home store will be reset to the hiring location, on rehire. 

Labor Dashboard- Graph and Legend

• Enabled by Default? - Yes
• Set up by customer Admin? - No
• Enable via Support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No
• Roles Affected: - All Labor Dashboard users.

What's Changing?

This change replaces the graph and legend on the Labor Dashboard with the graphing component in use on the Labor Volume by Day Page on the Scheduler. 

The change also moved the selector for the forecasted driver from the header to the graph legend to marry the selector with the data it controls. 

Reason for the Change

The change gives users a consistent view of graphed data.

Customers Affected

All customers using Labor Dashboard.

Release Note Info/Steps

The change will be implemented automatically in the release. 

Max Consecutive Days Employee Threshold

• Enabled by Default? - No
• Set up by customer Admin? - No
• Enable via Support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No
• Roles Affected: - All Managers using Staff List.

What's Changing?

The feature adds an additional optional employee schedule threshold for Max Consecutive Days under Availability/ Thresholds on Staff List Details. The maximum value for the setting is 7 days. 

Scheduler looks across schedule week boundaries and warns-managers if employee shifts exceeded the Max Consecutive Days setting for the employee, and it will report exceptions on Exception Reporting. 

Reason for the Change

To remain in compliance. the new threshold will allow locations that require a rest day every seven days to configure a threshold that looks across schedule weeks for the rest violations. 

Customers Affected

All customers using Employee Schedule Thresholds for scheduling enforcement. 

Release Note Info/Steps

The change will be implemented automatically in the release.
