Version
R2024.2.1
IDDescription

Fixed an issue that could cause the Calculate Long Service Leave Entitlement background job to fail after you updated to Dayforce Release 2024.2.0.

Fixed an issue that caused the Pay Summary Report to fail with an error.

Fixed an issue that could occur when using the Piece Rate Rule with the Average Rate Rule in Pay Setup > Pay Policy. In some cases, the amount calculated by the Piece Rate Rule wasn't included in the calculation made by the Average Rate Rule.

Fixed an issue in Schedules in the Grid View where non-productive shifts and overlapping TAFW unexpectedly contributed to some hour totals in the Total column.

Fixed an issue where the Time Entry Problem Recalc background job took longer than expected to run.

Fixed an issue that could occur with custom reports that were configured with the Employee Schedule Pay Summary entity in Reporting and Analytics > Reporting > Reports. In some cases, the reports contained inaccurate schedule cost information.

Fixed an issue that could occur if your entitlement policy was configured with the Frequency Grant Accrual Rule in Pay Setup > Entitlements. In some cases, when the rule was configured with the Prorate terminated employee on full recurrence period and Round up settings enabled, it caused incorrect holiday pay calculations for terminated employees on their last working day. This could result in the application mistakenly showing a different balance value for the employee in People in the Work > Balances screen compared to the balance value shown in their earning statement. 

Fixed an issue that could occur in Pay Approve Checklist or Pay Admin Checklist after you selected a pay group calendar record to view its details in the Timesheets window. In some cases, if you selected a pay group calendar record with an exception, the application didn't show all of the buttons in the toolstrip in the Timesheets window. This issue could occur if you used the application on a smaller screen.

Fixed an issue that could occur in Pay Setup > Entitlements in the Policies tab after you expanded an entitlement policy record. In some cases, the application didn’t show the expected entitlements in the Selected column.

Fixed an issue in Timesheets. In some cases, a warning message indicated that the job on the timesheet was not valid, even when the jobs were valid. This issue could occur when the Time Entry Problem Recalc job was run for all sites. 

Fixed an issue in Work > Timesheet where the Copy > Copy from Template function didn’t work as expected.

Fixed an issue where it took the application longer than expected to generate the Printed Schedule Report.

Fixed an issue that could occur in Centralized Schedules when you selected a group to load a schedule. In some cases, the screen failed to load employees' data properly.

Fixed an issue that could occur in Time Review when a user had access delegation configured in People, in the Security Access section of the Security Settings screen. In some cases, the date range that was loaded didn't respect the configured dates of the delegation.

Fixed an issue that could occur in Timesheets when using Dayforce in Google Chrome. In some cases, the application didn’t show the toolstrip in Timesheets after you switched from another feature, such as Schedules. 

Fixed an issue where the application failed to save localization changes in Schedule Setup > Schedule Rule Policy and Time Away From Work > Time Off Policy.

Fixed an issue that caused the Batch Forecast and Publish and Batch Plan Publish background jobs to take longer than expected to complete.

Fixed an issue that caused scheduled instances of the Award Entitlements To Employees background job to take longer than expected to complete.

Fixed an issue that could occur after employees swapped shifts. In some cases, if a manager deleted the shift that was originally offered for a shift trade, the application still showed the shift trade request in Approvals unexpectedly.

Fixed an issue where it took longer than expected to load locations in Pay Admin Checklist.

Fixed an issue in Manager Timesheet where, in some cases, you couldn't resize columns in the employee's timesheet.  

Fixed an issue that could occur after a manager edited a posted schedule and the change was forwarded to an employee for schedule acceptance. In some cases, after the employee accepted the change, the application showed an error notification that erroneously indicated that there was an issue with the employee’s input.

Fixed an issue that could occur after you submitted a half-day or partial-day time away from work (TAFW) request for an employee in Timesheets. In some cases, the application marked TAFW for the day after the requested day in the timesheets grid, and only marked the correct day after you reloaded the application.

Fixed an issue where the Comments field was unexpectedly grayed out and unavailable in Work > Timesheet.

Fixed an issue that could occur after employees bid on unfilled shifts and their manager approved their bids. In some cases, the application failed to update the net hours associated with the shifts in the grid in Schedules based on the employees' time entry policy configuration.

Fixed an issue that could occur when no conversion formula was specified for a balance unit in the Formula To Amount and Formula From Amount fields in the Units tab of Pay Setup > Balances. In some cases, an incorrect entitlement balance transaction could occur when you recorded an amount-only payment. For example, if an hours-based balance recorded a dollar payment with no hours, the entitlement balance unexpectedly treated the dollar amount as hours when adjusting the available balance. This resulted in an incorrect balance amount.
