Release Notes WFM: Labour Productivity: Early Submission of Schedule to Payroll

What's Changing?

New functionality to allow customers to submit schedules to payroll early, for days which are yet to be completed.

Release Date: already deployed
    
Reason for the Change
To introduce a way of submitting schedules to payroll earlier than usual to allow for the changes in scheduling behaviours over the holiday seasons, and Christmas in particular where payroll is submitted earlier to ensure all staff are paid on time, taking into effect bank holidays.   

Customers Affected
The functionality will be switched off by default but customer System Administrators can amend these settings for businesses accordingly.

Please note: Labour Productivity customers who do not use the Fourth HR module, please speak to your Fourth Contact to enable the ability to submit schedules in the future.
