2 WFM release notes for flexible furlough claims

Please see below for links and details of two Workforce Management release notes.

The release date for both is 7th July 2020.

WFM Release Note - Upload Usual and Actual Hours for Flexible Furlough Claims

What’s Changing?
A new batch update function is being added to HR & Payroll to upload usual and actual hours worked by employees.

Reason for the Change
On 12th July, HMRC published new guidance in relation to flexible furlough and CJRS. The new batch update is to help customers claim Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) grants under the new flexible furlough rules from 1st July 2020.

WFM Release Note - Employee Hours Worked Export

What’s Changing?
A new export is being added to the Payroll module that will extract the hours entered in the rota for a specified date range.

Release date: 7th July 2020

Reason for the Change
The new flexible furlough guidelines require employers to use the data from the same period and the previous year when calculating the usual hours that will be included in a furlough claim. This new export will allow users to extract that data into an Excel file so it can be used for a Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme 2 (CJRS2) claim.
