(CA) November 2020

We released the following features and bug fixes in Wagepoint on November 12, 2020.

Features/enhancements

• View opening balances (CSV) – added a new report that will let a company signing up mid-year to view the opening balances they entered for an employee or contractor. This CSV file will be displayed in the Employees tab in the year it is applicable. After the year passes, the customer will be able to access this CSV from the Year-to-date Report tab. 

• Disable/enable Workers’ Compensation rates – once a WCB rate has been assigned to an employee and used in payroll, the user cannot delete the rate anymore. This new Disable function will prevent an employer from selecting and assigning this rate to an employee. Additionally, once a rate is disabled, any employees who have that rate assigned to them will no longer have WCB calculated until the user changes the selection to an active rate. A disabled rate is the same as “Not applicable” in functionality. Note: Disabling a rate prevents it from being selected by a user, but it should not affect any of the reports or prior payrolls where this rate was used on an employee.

• Change report (CSV) – added a CSV export function to let users to download the change data to a spreadsheet.

• Additional tax on pre- payroll register view – updated the view to display additional tax in the payroll preview report. 

• SwipeClock integration – To activate the Swipeclock integration, new users need to add and save the SiteID in the Add-ons page to ensure that you can connect the app without any errors. 

Bug fixes

• Added validation on the date field in the termination modal to prevent the user from keying in an invalid date that triggers a system error. 

• Updated the Last logins column in the Accounting/bookkeeping team section of the User Accounts tab to show when the specific user last logged into that specific client’s account. Previously, the data displayed when the user logged into Wagepoint as a whole, irrespective of whether they accessed that client’s account specifically. 

• Fixed the Paystubs to breakdown the assignment details at a department level to handle cases when the job assignment is created/added after the cycle end date. 

• Fixed the save issue that would prevent a user from saving their cycle start date selection if it was different from the date suggested by the system. 

• Fixed the auto-submit tax forms toggle to let customers to enable/disable the setting as needed. 

• Fixed the issue that caused the [Back to list] button to redirect to the Employees list instead of Contractor’s if the button was clicked inside a contractor’s profile. 

• Fixed the password validation rules to be consistent on the sign up and restore password pages. 

• Updated the mass deduction logic to ensure that the user is only editing the first priority garnishment. 

• Fixed the Change report > Employment filter so that it displays the applicable data. 

• Fixed the Payroll register PDF so that it doesn’t paginate to display one employee per page. 

• Fixed the Bank Account tab to ensure that the PAD confirmation checkbox is saved correctly. 

• Xero integration fixes

  • Fixed the negative total issue that caused a mismatch between the Export AP invoice and the Wagepoint Posting Journal. We’ve also fixed the issue to ensure that processing fees are reflected in the exported invoice. 

  • The Xero integration will only export an invoice once. 

  • PDFs of the selected reports are now included in the export. 

• Fixed the SwipeClock integration to handle the disconnection process correctly.

• Updated tax calculation process to handle additional taxes for employees in Québec for edge cases where the annualized income tax is negative. 

• Updated the time-tracking integration logic to ensure that a customer cannot activate the CSV (Hours) import if your company has another time-tracking app active at the time. 

• Updates to the accountant dashboard

  • Administrators who are also designated as a “manager” to the master company are now able to access their assigned clients via the dashboard.

  • Account owners/partner administrators can add clients through the accountant dashboard and assign a client administrator.

  • Fixed error code 08173577F05 – users can now access the accountant dashboard without an error even if the paydate value is NULL in the database.
