New Release | HR UK: Bradford Factor Enhancements, Additional Payments Export | 01 Apr 2026

Please Note: This release will be available after 12pm BST.

What’s New?

• Bradford Factor Enhancements
  The Bradford Factor functionality has been enhanced to provide greater control and visibility. The available reference period options have been expanded, allowing customers to better align calculations with their absence policies. Absence Types can now be excluded from Bradford scoring, ensuring non-sickness absences, such as Jury Duty, do not impact results. 
  
  The core Bradford calculation itself remains unchanged, maintaining consistency with established methodology. In addition, a new Bradford Factor export has been introduced, providing clear, standalone visibility of scores and the underlying calculation data for improved analysis and reporting.

• Additional Payments Export
  We’ve introduced a new Additional Payments Export in both the Rota and Scheduling modules, allowing users to extract overtime and lieu payments across all locations in a single report. Previously, this data could only be reviewed within individual rota or schedule submissions, making it difficult to validate or analyse payments at scale. This export provides a consolidated view to support better oversight and control.

  The report reflects data from the Additional Payments screen and includes both authorised and omitted entries, giving full transparency of payment decisions. It can be used both before and after rota or schedule submission, supporting pre-payroll validation as well as post-submission review.

Release date: 01 April 2026
