Enhancements

Report Modifications

• Certified Payroll Report Added
  • A new Certified Payroll Report has been introduced. See our dedicated article for more information.
• Payroll Register Header Improvements
  • The Payroll Register Report now dynamically adjusts its headers based on payroll data. Each tax, benefit, and deduction is listed as a separate header. If an organization has payroll across multiple states, the report will display separate columns for each state’s taxes (e.g., "Tax – FICA").
• Deduction Register Report – Employee Name Split
  • The Employee Name field in the Deduction Register Report has been split into separate First Name and Last Name columns, improving data analysis and filtering.

User Interface

• Cost Code Name in Payroll Line Items
  • The Payroll Line Items section now displays both the Cost Code Name and Cost Code ID, making cost allocation more transparent. This field remains editable based on the source system.
• Payroll Submission Deadline Messaging Update
  • The messaging on the Create Payroll page has been updated for better clarity. The submission time is no longer displayed, as it varies based on the organization's approved processing periods (1-day, 2-day, or 3-day approvals).
    • New message: “In order to pay your employees on the pay day you must submit payroll by the approval deadline date and time.”
• Certified Location Indicators
  • Certified payroll locations are now visually distinguished within the Employee Profile and Company Grid, making them easier to identify.
• Bonus CSV Upload Enhancements
  • When uploading bonus payments via CSV, users will now receive a confirmation message displaying the number of successfully processed bonus entries.
• Navigation Bar Fix for Company Name
  • The company name in the Payroll App’s top navigation bar now correctly reflects the selected company, eliminating confusion when switching between organizations.
• Reopen Payroll Button Update
  • The Reopen Payroll button now adheres to payroll reopening deadlines, ensuring it is only available within 60 minutes of payroll approval, when modifications are still allowed. Copyright © 2025 Arcoro. All rights reserved. 3
• Print Checks Button Visibility Update
  • The Print Checks button's visibility is now based on the payroll’s reopening deadline, ensuring checks are only printed when appropriate.
• Payroll Page Access Issue Fix
  • Resolved an issue that previously prevented access to certain payroll pages, such as Employee Profiles and "My Profile" for payroll administrators.
• Bell Notification Placeholder Removal
  • Removed static placeholder text from the payroll bell notifications. The notification area will remain blank until real-time alerts are implemented.
• Updated Payroll Line Item Labels
  • To improve clarity, the following Payroll Line Item labels have been updated:
    • "Add Earnings" → "Add Hourly Earnings"
    • "Add Bonus" → "Add Non-Hourly Earnings"
• Time Off Balance Logs Improvement
  • Enhanced logging for Time Off Balance synchronization between ET and Payroll, improving troubleshooting and transparency.

Backend and Integration

• Extended Location Model with Job Type
  • The integration framework now includes a Job Type field when reading locations from ET, classifying them as Certified, Standard, or Null for improved payroll processing.
• Core HR Payroll Configuration Updates
  • Improved handling of payroll configurations in Core HR, ensuring proper facility assignment when using the location domain, enhancing payroll processing accuracy.
• Database Schema Enhancements
  • Removed the outdated Users.JobCosting table and introduced a new job cost mapping structure, improving payroll reporting and cost allocation.
• Increased API Page Limits
  • The Check API integration now supports larger page sizes when fetching data for Workplaces, Employees, Payroll Items, and Earning Rates, speeding up payroll data retrieval.
• Location Writer with Job Type
  • The Payroll Integration now writes the Job Type field to metadata, ensuring consistent reporting across Certified and Standard locations.
• Model Validation for Length Constraints
  • Field length validation for payroll data has been moved to the model validation layer, reducing processing overhead and minimizing errors.
• Check API Version Lock
  • The system now explicitly specifies the Check API version used in requests, preventing potential breaking changes from future API updates.
• Fix for Employee Identifier Matching
  • Improved logic in Time Record and Expense Writers to ensure accurate employee matching using EmployeeIdentifier.
