HR

Enhancements

  • Planner > Half day display: Half working days are now visually represented in Planner day fields.

    For half days, the none working half of the day is displayed in grey.

    Half days are determined by the data in Admin > Application Data > Attendance and Calendars > Working Days. If the Days field is not 1.00 or 0.00, IRIS Cascade uses the AM and PM data to determine the working half of the day.

  • Planner > Empty fields: Empty fields removed where there is not a day in the month, reducing on screen clutter.

These changes are part of the ongoing improvements to the way you request absences. Find out more about the planned improvements to absence screens.

  • Bank Holidays error: Fixed error caused when editing Description in Admin > Application Data > Attendance and Calendars > Bank Holidays.
