IDDescription

Fixed an issue that could occur when you downloaded the Payroll Summary Report. The report showed incorrect ESCT retro amounts even though you ran the report the first pay run and no retros were performed.

Fixed an issue in Payroll > Pay Run Management where, in some cases, the application showed inconsistent rounding amounts in the Quick Entry tab and earning statements.

Fixed an issue with the date format. When the payroll message, “Employee terminated as of <date>” occurred in pay runs for Australian pay groups, dates were shown in the Australian date format: mm/dd/yyyy.

Fixed an issue that could occur when an employee terminates and no normal gross earnings were recorded in the Payroll > Termination Payments screen in People. In this case, Dayforce follows these steps:

  • It references the last pay period regular pay for the employee, regardless if the termination is processed in a regular scheduled pay or an off-cycle in this pay period.
    • For example, if an employee is terminating in the pay run PR05-00 or during an off-cycle PR05-01, and there are no gross earnings shown on the Termination Payments screen, then:
      • If the employee received payment in pay run 04-00, the system uses the gross earnings from pay run PR04-00 to calculate the marginal tax on leave.
      • If the employee was not paid in pay run 04-00, the regular gross earnings accompanying the termination payment are used to determine the marginal tax on unused leave.
  • The last regular pay refers to the previous regular pay run of the pay group.
  • The termination payment consists solely of the payout of unused leave entitlements.
  • This process does not apply to lump sum A.
  • It is recommended to always list the normal gross earnings for clarity.

Fixed an issue that could occur in System Admin > Roles, where, in some cases, the administrator user role authorisations specific to Australia were not working as expected.

Fixed an issue that could occur when you updated the default employer super fund in Payroll Setup > Third Party Payees and calculated the pay run. The Employee Payroll Preview export incorrectly showed the previous default super fund name. This update only affected the display of the default super fund name and it didn’t affect any calculations.

Fixed an issue that could occur in the AUS STP PayEvent Mapping Report in Data & Analytics > Reporting > Reports. When you created the report, not all the earning and deductions payroll codes were shown.

Fixed an issue that could occur in Payroll > Post Commit Management in the Australia Third Party Payments tab. The third party ABA files weren’t showing when you filtered on the "Generated" and "Downloaded" statuses but showed when you used the date range filter.
