This release includes valuable improvements across multiple areas of the platform. ## **Time and Attendance** #### **Close pay periods early for payroll flexibility** You can now close pay periods before the configured deadline when you need to process payroll early, which is useful for holidays or special circumstances. A new setting in Platform Configuration lets you finalize timesheets at any point on the final day of the pay period, preventing further changes and supporting earlier payroll processing. #### **Import hours as durations** The Import Punches tool now supports importing worked hours as durations in addition to clock-in and clock-out punches. You can use decimal or hh:mm formats, and the system validates the data and flags formatting issues before import. #### **Download Approaching Overtime reports** The Approaching Overtime dashboard widget now includes a Download Report option. You can generate a PDF that captures the current overtime data shown on the dashboard, including employee details, worked hours, and overtime indicators. #### **Streamlined timesheet approval process** The Approve all pending action in Timesheet Overview now provides clearer feedback throughout the process, including confirmation dialogs, progress indicators, and completion messages that show what was approved and what still needs attention. #### **Web Kiosk clock-in flow improvements** The Web Kiosk now processes clock-in steps in the correct sequence, allowing employees to complete photo capture, break waivers, job selection, and questionnaires without interruption. The flow now aligns with the native kiosk app for more consistent behavior. #### **Faster timesheet editing** Editing punches that include hours distribution is now faster and more responsive. The editor loads quicker and saves changes more smoothly to reduce delays during timesheet updates. #### **Timesheet Status Summary export** A new Timesheet Status Summary export is available for complete timesheet submission and approval details. It provides one row per employee per pay period with submitter and approver information, timestamps, notes, and pay period boundaries. #### **Timelog Audit Trail export** A new Timelog Audit Trail export provides detailed audit records for timesheet changes. You can export comprehensive modification history in formats such as CSV, TXT, XML, or JSON to support audit and reconciliation workflows. #### **Dark Mode improvements for Android** Questionnaire text now displays correctly in the WorkEasy Software mobile app when using Dark Mode on Android devices. Content is fully visible and renders consistently across supported devices. ## **Time Off** #### **Improved weekly schedule pattern updates** Weekly pattern updates now process smoothly even when modifying shifts that are already in progress. Changes apply reliably across affected employee schedules. ## **Scheduling** #### **Select shift dates in daily views** When creating or editing shifts in Daily by Employee and Daily by Criteria views, you can now set both the start date and end date. This helps prevent accidental overnight shifts and keeps schedules aligned with intended workdays. #### **View and manage open shifts in Criteria view** Open shifts are now visible in all Criteria views, making coverage needs easier to review. You can filter, sort, and assign open shifts based on location, role, skill, or department without switching to the employee view. #### **Filter schedules by multiple jobs** The Job filter in Scheduling now supports selecting multiple jobs at once. You can view schedules across several jobs simultaneously and combine job filtering with other filters like location and department. #### **Accurate daily and grand totals** Daily by Employee and Daily by Criteria views now show accurate employee totals and grand totals. Break deductions calculate correctly and totals remain consistent across scheduling views. #### **Shifts generate correctly with future group changes** When you move an employee to a new group with a future effective date, the system now generates and updates shifts correctly. Future shifts use the new group pattern starting on the effective date. ## **Reports** #### **Pay rate column in Employee List report** The Employee List report now includes a Pay Rate column showing each employee’s current effective pay rate with currency and pay period frequency. Pay rate information is visible only to users with the appropriate privileges. ## **Integrations** #### **ADP Workforce Now locations sync with correct time zones** Locations syncing from ADP Workforce Now now automatically use the correct time zone based on the U.S. state in your ADP data. This helps ensure locations reflect the appropriate regional time settings for multi-time-zone organizations. #### **Improved ADP RUN employee totals** The mapped-employee calculation in the ADP RUN integration now includes all employees mapped through the integration, regardless of status (Active, Inactive, Terminated, or Archived). #### **Enhanced ADP RUN employee search** The Search Employee by Name field on the ADP RUN Sync Employees page now works as you type. The table stays visible and updates in real time to support faster employee management. ## **Devices** #### **Clock offline alerts** You can now create and manage clock offline alerts in Devices settings. Configure alert rules, set scope, and choose recipients for mobile push, email, or web notifications to improve visibility when time clocks go offline. Thank you for choosing WorkEasy Software. We’re committed to giving you the tools you need to simplify workforce management and keep operations running smoothly.
