• One area of improvement will be workflow-driven processing for certain actions, which guides the user through the steps required to complete a transaction. The goal is to provide a clear path to complete multi-step transactions, while providing details of the status of the transaction as it progresses through tasks and approvals. We will first focus on the hiring of all employees, incorporating a new step-by-step process for employees, personnel representatives, and HR to follow to complete background checks, capture employee information, add job assignments, and complete the required approvals within the HR System.


• The new version will also provide improved functionality for timesheets, commitment accounting changes and distribution setup. Employees will see some new self-service features, including the ability to add multiple accounts for direct deposit of pay checks and printable PDF version for paycheck statements.

• TmE - will include FLSA exempt temporary employees who will be paid at an annual salary rate on the biweekly payroll. Timesheets will no longer will be submitted for these individuals. They will be paid automatically on a biweekly basis based on the comp rate entered on their job action.
