Fixes
| Feature | Summary | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Timesheet Entry | ||
| Timesheet Entry | Location only appeared after switching tabs and user edits were not saved, reverting to the default. | Location now displays immediately when the header is created and user edits to location are saved correctly. |
| Timesheet Entry | Leave codes disappear for terminated employees. | The Hour Code LOV has been updated to ignore employee status when validating eligible leave setups, and support for the “Allow timesheet for inactive employees” option in E-Timesheet Entry has been removed. |
| Timesheet Entry | Employees hired mid-week incorrectly marked as active for dates prior to their actual start date. | When employees are hired mid-week, the system now correctly disables them for the dates they were not active. |
| Payslips and Personal Information | ||
| ESS Payslips | Error when emailing pay stubs. | Resolved an error “Oops Something went wrong” that occurred when emailing pay stubs from Construct ESS. Users can now email their pay stubs successfully. |
| ESS Personal Information | Error when uploading attachments. | Corrected an error causing failures when uploading attachments via Personal Information. |
| Expenses | ||
| Expenses | Draft expenses cause the app to freeze or display a blank screen. | A fix has been implemented to ensure that clicking on draft expenses correctly loads the expense details. The screen no longer grays out or hangs, improving app stability and usability. |
| Expenses | Manual expense and mileage entries throw “Null” type errors. | Backend logic has been updated to handle cases where flysheet fields return no results. Instead of throwing a “Null” type error, the fields will be left blank, ensuring smoother user experience and preventing crashes during manual entry. |
