Pacific Timesheet Update

Version 6.49 Build 178, Feb 9, 2009

This page documents all new features, enhancements and bug fixes included in this release of Pacific Timesheet. For information on changes made in previous versions of Pacific Timesheet, please see the release notes archive.

New Features and Enhancements

1. New Timesheet Permissions

Two new timesheet permissions were added. The "Can punch from time clock device only" can be used to disallow employees from punching in/out from a web browser. The "Can copy previous timesheet hours" can be used to disallow employees from copying previous timesheet hours. You can learn more by viewing the "Permission Levels" online help topic.

2. Fractional Year Support for Accruals

You can now specify fraction years when setting up accruals that vary depending upon the number of years employed. This is especially useful if doing annual accruals because you can enter fractional years employed, e.g. "0.5", to prorate the first accrual for new employees. You can learn more by viewing the "Balance and Accrual Rules" online help topic.

3. Smarter Timesheet Copying

When you copy the hours from a previous timesheet (either by using the "Copy Previous Timesheet" function on the timesheet, or you have timesheet memory set to carry forward hours in your Preferences on the Home tab), leave hours (or paid time off) will no longer be copied. Also, where possible, leave hours will be converted to appropriate work hours.

3. Approval Status Information Now Shown in Timesheet PDF

The timesheet PDF view now shows the approval status and name of the approver, for approved timesheets.

Fixes

4. Accruals

Fixed an issue in which annual accruals would run before any annual rollover cap was applied. This resulted in a reduction or elimination of the annual accrual. Annual accruals will now run after the annual rollover cap is applied.
