Release Notes WFM: Tronc2: Permission Restriction Enhancements

Introduction of a new permission that restricts users from being able to amend the calculations of tronc payments allocated to employees.

Release date: 14^th May 2020

If troncmasters are responsible for deciding how money is distributed, it may not be appropriate for Managers or Assistant Managers to have the access to make changes to the amounts allocated.  This will also help customers to manage their tronc payments within HMRC guidelines.

All Tronc 2 customers.
