HR

Enhancements

  • Cascade: To follow on from the introduction of Statutory Neonatal Care Pay being added to Cascade Payroll, a new section has been added for NEONATAL CARE LEAVE. Access will need to be permitted for users via Admin > Profiles > Data Screens.

  • Cascade: A new field for Neonatal Care Pay Scheme has been added to the WORK screen.

  • Admin: A new tab has been added for Neonatal Care Pay in Occupational Pay Schemes.

  • Admin: A new category has been added for Statutory Neonatal Care Leave in Attendance Categories.

  • Cascade: It is now possible to upload the new Microsoft email format of .eml. This has been done to keep up with the latest changes to how emails are now saved.

  • Cascade: In the new starter wizard, we have fixed the order of system list items to be alphabetical unless the system list order has been changed in Admin > System lists.

  • MyCascade: When viewing the list of screens in My Details, if a screen is set to be seen in the users profile but the option 'Available for self service' (found in screen designer) is not ticked then the screen will re-direct the user back to Cascade.

  • MyCascade: The right hand date field on the inbox has been changed to show the 'Last updated' date. This has been changed so the most recently edited record appears at the top.

  • MyCascade: On the inbox list we've added the Year to any notification that isn't in the current year. This has been done so it's easy to see older messages.


Further guidance on how to set up Neonatal Care Leave in HR can be found here (pdf).
