(CA) April 2021

The following updates were released within Wagepoint on April 29, 2021.

Features/enhancements

1. Basic exemption checkbox in off-cycle payrolls – Added a new column to the off-cycle payroll process to allow for the exclusion of the annual basic Canada Pension Plan (CPP)/Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) exemption from being applied in an off-cycle payroll. In the default setting, the checkbox is selected, and Wagepoint will apply the basic exemption amount for that payroll.
   
   
2. Physical work location indicator – Added a physical work location indicator to allow a company to select a province different from the province of employment for the purposes of calculating vacation pay and holiday pay.
   
   
3. Payroll Account Numbers become read-only once a user clicks “Save Changes” under the “Payroll Details” heading – Your Payroll Account Numbers, identified in Wagepoint as your Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) payroll account number and Revenu Quebec (RQ) account number, change from editable values to read-only values immediately after saving the page. If a value is not entered in the system, the field remains open for data entry.
   

Bug fixes

1. Fixed a bug that was preventing the sales tax from being included on the Bill export for QuickBooks Online (QBO). 
   
   
2. Fixed a bug to allow users to preview the “Payroll hours by cycle” report in our Reports library.
   
   
3. Fixed the “Cancel” button in the “Termination” modal, allowing the user to exit the termination flow without saving any data.
   
   
4. Fixed the “Termination” modal so that it no longer triggers an “Invalid date format” validation error after using the date-picker to select the “Last day worked”.
   
   
5. Fixed a bug that prevented users from accessing the “Edit” screen when navigating to: Account settings > User accounts if an email address had a “+”  symbol in it.
   
   
6. Updated the following deductions: Critical illness, Dental, Vision, Life insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D). You can now automatically calculate the deduction amount if you select “%” (percentage) as the contribution type.
   
   
7. Updated the calendar in the employee portal to correctly reflect the next pay date.
   
   
8. Fixed the “Select All” feature on the “Paystub Memo” screen. When the “Select All” box is checked, the system will select all names in the list; unchecking the “Select All” box will deselect all the names.
   
   
9. Fixed the bug that caused the “Add-ons” modal to open unexpectedly.
   
   
10. Updated the garnishment code so that Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) contributions are deducted before the garnishment amount is calculated.
    
    
11. Fixed a bug with the Deduction Register report in our Reports Library that caused certain employees to show up with “$0” values even if amounts were already calculated in the system.
