In this version Changed in version 2 In this version we have added the following topic: Extra individual rights suddenly shown in recent years (change 3786540). New 1.  New screen Parental Leave correction company collective labor agreement (company CLA) Why As of August 2, 2022, parental leave (OSV) has been split into two parts: Paid and Unpaid parental leave. In HR Core Business, we had taken this change into account and a parental leave type had already been set up with the data elements OSV factor and Age Limit Parental Leave. These elements have been in use for (unpaid) Parental Leave as of release 2022-08. By adjusting the parental leave in August 2022, the value for unpaid parental leave changed from 26 to 17 weeks. You can record this at the company level in the HR Steering Data screen.    For clients who have been using HR Core business for some time, the data elements OSV factor and Age limit include values filled in at the company CLA level. This is a level between employee and company. To calculate parental leave, the system still uses the data at the company CLA level because in the hierarchy this is the first level above the employee. This means that if, for example, in the HR Steering Data screen at OSV factor the value 17 is entered at the company level, while at the company CLA level it still contains the value 26, the calculation of parental leave entitlement is made based on 26 weeks.   In order for the system to correctly calculate parental leave entitlement, it is necessary to remove the incorrect values of the OSV factor and age limit that are still present in the database. To enable this, the new Parental leave correction company CLA screen is available in HR Core Business as of this release.  How Settings > Leave > Parental leave correction company CLA Steps Select the correct Reference Date. This is the date from when you want to terminate the data. If there are multiple company CLAs, select the appropriate company CLA. Open the Parental Leave correction company CLA screen. Terminate the values of the OSV Factor (unpaid) and Age limit parental leave (unpaid) fields by clearing them.  Click Save. You can use the Mutation report (extended) to check whether the values of these fields are actually cleared as of the reference date.  In the menu, go to Reports > Recording > Mutation Report (extended). In the Target Level field, select Company and then select the Target Group: this is the company for which you want to create the report. If necessary, adjust the remaining fields and click Show selection criteria. At Data collections, select the Company CLA collection in the Selected field. At Data elements (GE) and wage components (LC), add the data elements Age limit parental leave (unpaid) (Company CLA) and OSV factor (unpaid) (Company CLA) in the Selected field. Click Create report. Go to My Reports and open the newly created Mutation report (extended). Here you can see that for the selected target group and company CLA the abovementioned data elements have been terminated and have the status Inactive. Action If there are still old values at the company CLA level at OSV Factor (unpaid) and/or Age limit parental leave (unpaid), ensure that these values are terminated by completing the steps listed above. Solved messages 2. Extra individual rights suddenly shown in recent years (change 3786540) Message Some employees suddenly showed old individual rights after release 2022-09. As a result, these employees suddenly had a long queue of individual rights. These had been entered in previous years. However, the balance shown was correct, as these rights may have already been included in the transferred balance. It was only a presentation error.  Solution As of release 2022-10, only the individual rights that have been granted in the current leave year are visible. Action No action is required.  

New 1. Transferring parental leave Why Parents are entitled to parental leave until their child’s 8th birthday. As of August 2022, an employee may take 9 weeks of paid parental leave up to one year after their child’s birth. If an employee does not use all their paid parental leave, they will still be entitled to their unused hours in the form of unpaid parental leave. This is because parents are entitled to a maximum of 26 weeks of parental leave: 9 weeks of partially paid parental leave and 17 weeks of unpaid parental leave. This means that unused paid parental leave must be converted into unpaid leave in HR Core Business.  How As of release 2022-11, HR Core Business will automatically determine whether an employee who requests parental leave has expired paid parental leave and/or whether this should be converted into unpaid parental leave. This ensures that users no longer have to make their own calculations. The leave overview shows you how many hours of paid and unpaid parental leave an employee has left and when these hours expire. This makes it easy to check how much parental leave an employee can request.  If an employee’s paid and unpaid parental leave have both expired and they try to request parental leave for the same child, the system will not process their application.  Action  No action is required. HR Core Business will automatically determine whether an employee who requests parental leave has expired paid parental leave and/or whether this should be converted into unpaid parental leave.  Please note: if no value has been entered for the parental leave type Parental leave entitlement based on child, paid leave will not automatically be converted into unpaid leave. 2.  Having parental leave automatically deducted As of release 2022-11, it is possible to have parental leave automatically deducted. Statutory and non-statutory leave can also be deducted automatically. This means organizations no longer have to make their own parental leave calculations or determine which type of parental leave employees are entitled to. The system will do this automatically if you enter the right value under Parental leave entitlement based on child in HR Core Business.  How to Set It Up If you want to use automatic parental leave deduction, you need to adjust a number of settings in HR Core Business. Please follow the instructions below. Settings > Leave > Leave policy You must assign different levels of priority to the parental leave types Parental leave (paid 1 and 2) and Parental leave (unpaid). When an employee submits a leave request, the leave type with the highest priority will be deducted first. For parental leave to be automatically deducted, you must also add the leave type Parental leave (automatic) to the leave policy. Please use the following settings for this leave type:  Leave entitlement = 0 hours Priority = 99 (not relevant for this leave type) Parental leave entitlement based on child = Automatisch OSV OSV = OuderSchapsVerlof: Automatisch OSV = Automatic parental leave Maximum negative = 0 If the value Automatisch OSV is entered, the system will use this leave type to deduct the leave types for which a value is defined under Parental leave entitlement based on child.  Please note: if no value has been entered for the parental leave type Parental leave entitlement based on child, parental leave will not automatically be deducted. This functionality is only applied to leave types for which a value has been entered in this field.  In Practice An employee can submit a leave request using the leave type Parental leave (automatic) in HR Self Service or directly in HR Core Business. The system will then use the priority values and expiration dates to determine which leave type to deduct first. If the highest-priority leave balance is zero, the system will automatically deduct leave with a lower priority level.  Action Use the instructions above to set up automatic parental leave deduction in HR Core Business.  Set up the leave type Parental leave (automatic) for the relevant processes in Self Service.  Modified and Improved 3.  WAO/WIA registration cannot be removed Why The WAO/WIA registration screen had the following mandatory fields: 7606 WAO/WIA class 7607 Reason for claiming benefit This made it impossible to remove an incorrectly filled out WAO/WIA screen. The problem has been resolved by making these fields optional. How Employee > Illness > WAO/WIA registration  As of release 2022-11, every field in the WAO/WIA registration screen is optional, making it possible to remove values from the fields. Everything else still works the same way. Action If employees have been incorrectly recorded with a WAO/WIA registration, you can now clear these fields in the WAO/WIA screen. You can do this by clearing the individual fields or by clicking the Clear button. 4.  RVM redelivery renamed to Redelivery RVM As of this release, the menu option RVM redelivery and the RVM redelivery screen have been renamed to Redelivery RVM.  How  Management > Data exchange > Redelivery RVM The menu option and the screen itself have been renamed, but everything else still works the same way. Action No action is required.  Solved Messages 5.  Desired source date type not included in list (change 3733800) Notification Settings > Active signaling > Define signal Alternative names for data elements were not included in the list for the Source date type field.  Solution The list for the Source date type field showed the official name of the data elements instead of the alternative names that had been assigned to these elements. As of this release, the list also shows the alternative name (if an alternative name has been assigned). Alternative names can be assigned under Settings > Recording > Alternative names. Action  No action is required. 6.  Self Service – Changes in Self Service not being exported to HR Core Business (3786931) Notification A few weeks ago, an error in our program caused an issue with processing Self Service changes. Changes in Self Service were no longer exported to HR Core Business. As a short-term solution, we quickly reversed the IKV modification that caused the error so that the changes in Self Service could be processed. Solution We have modified the November release to eliminate this error.  Action  No action is required. 7.  Deleting a child’s data from Self Service (3842585) Notification A child’s data can be removed from HR Core Business using Self Service. However, if additional parental leave has already been registered for the child, the child’s data cannot be removed. Users should receive a notification to let them know their request could not be processed.  Solution We have added a notification informing the user that the child’s data cannot be removed because additional parental leave has been registered for the child. This ensures that users are aware that their change has not been processed.  Action  If you are unable to remove a child’s data at your organization, you must first remove any additional parental leave. Once this has been removed, the child’s data can be removed as well.  8.  Unable to see blocked collective holiday when opening leave request (3901430) Notification Users who opened a leave request for a blocked collective holiday were not able to see that this day was blocked. Solution As of this release, users who open a leave request for a blocked collective holiday will see a check mark next to the Collective leave blocked field. User will also be able to use the new Unblock leave button at the bottom right of the screen to unblock these days. Clicking on this will reallocate collective leave according to the employee’s work schedule.   Action No action is required.  

Solved message End button in Organizational unit screen not displayed correctly (3922507) Notification In the Organizational Unit screen, the End button (Beëindigen) was not displayed correctly. Solution We've adjusted the End button so that it will display properly again from release 2022-12. Action No action is required.  

Modified and Improved The number of characters was not checked when importing values list Why A function value may consist of 10 characters at most. When a new function is created using Values list the system checks the number of characters. However, the import function did not, and function values or codes consisting of more than 10 characters could be created. This caused errors in underlying systems as well.  How Settings > Recording > Values list As of this release the number of characters of new function codes is checked at import. If there are more than 10 characters, the code is not created.  Action No action is required.  The Define signal screen has been improved Why The filter in the Define signal screen did not work and the screen froze when the Periodic search field was selected.  How Settings > Active signaling > Define signal As of this release the screen has been modified and improved: the filter can be used without the screen becoming frozen.  Action No action is required. Right to parental leave is calculated at an earlier stage Why The right of an employee to parental leave was calculated when it was applied for. Employees could not check their right of leave when leave was requested for the first time. That is why the right to parental leave can now be calculated earlier. How Employee > Employee > Child data The Take parental leave field is now included in the Child data screen. If Yes is specified, the system immediately calculates the right to parental leave for all types of parental leave available in the company’s leave plan. As of 2 August 2022 this will usually be Paid parental leave 1 and Unpaid parental leave. The current method where parental leave is calculated when leave is requested will remain available.  Note When the Take parental leave field is set to No the right of leave is removed again. This may be necessary should an employee change their mind and decide not to take parental leave. Make sure the leave request is revoked. Where Unpaid parental leave is concerned, the BedrijfsCAO level may indicate 26 weeks of parental leave left, with an age limit of 8 years. If this is the case and the OSV factor in the HR parameters screen is changed to 17 weeks, the system still uses 26 weeks. To resolve this, the value at the BedrijfsCAO level must be removed. Submit a ticket for this. In the short term we want to create a separate screen that provides access to these fields so they can be modified.  Action HR Core Business: if OSV factor and Age limit unpaid are set to the BedrijfsCAO level, a ticket should be submitted to resolve this.  HR Self Service: the Take parental leave element can be added to the locations where child data is registered. Solved Messages  HR links not visible in HR Core (3556963) Why As of the April release the person level of the organization can be activated using the HR links screen. This screen is not accessible to everyone, which is why as of this release the person level can also be activated using the Parameters UPI/Identity screen.  How Settings > Recording > Parameters UPI/Identity The Person level active option and the Allocate UPI field have been added to the ‘Parameters UPI/Identity’ screen. Activating or deactivating the person level: When the Person level active option is selected, the person level is activated for the current client. Note: when the Person level active option is selected and next deselected, the person level is deactivated for the current client. Employees and persons are no longer synchronized when this option has been deselected. The Allocate UPI field can be used to search for a person using the following linking methods:  Social Security Number (BSN) only Social security number (BSN), birth name and date of birth In other words, the system always searches for the Social Security Number (BSN) first to determine whether a person with the same BSN is available. If the BSN, birth name and date of birth search method is used, the system checks if the entered employee can be linked to a person based on initials + last name + date of birth. Employees are always linked to a person in the following situations.   Situation Employee with Social Security Number (BSN) Person with Social Security Number (BSN) Will a unique link be created? A No No Yes, by last name, initials and date of birth B Yes No Yes, by last name, initials and date of birth C No Yes Yes, by last name, initials and date of birth D Yes Yes Yes, by Social Security Number Checks A number of steps must be performed before activating the person level. See the information at the ‘Person level active’ option in the Online Help topic ‘Screens and fields > Settings > Data exchange > HR links’. Information about the ‘Proposed UPI’ report is available in the Online Help topic ‘Screens and fields > Reports > Personnel management > Proposed UPI’. Action When the person level of the organization is to be activated, follow the above steps and consult the Online Help for information on the Proposed UPI report and inconsistencies therein. Processing report of Person level conversion When the person level has been activated (as client and/or consultant) using Parameters UPI/Identity, the conversion starts as of 5.30 pm. How much time the conversion takes depends on the number of employees of a client. The conversion of clients with a maximum of 5000 employees takes approximately one hour. When the conversion is complete, the processing report is stored under Shared reports. Note: this report is visible at client level. Select the client without the company in the navigation path at the top of the screen.   If the first tab in this report is empty, all employees with a UPI are linked to a person. If the first tab in this report contains employees, they could not be linked to a person because, for example, there are two employees with the same UPI but with different last names.  Action If the first tab in the processing report contains employees, the Proposed UPI report must be generated to consult the remarks included therein. Correct the employees concerned and deactivate and next reactivate the Person level active option as described above. The conversion starts again after 5.30 pm and the missing persons will be created. A new processing report will be generated when the conversion has been completed.  Employee linked to multiple persons (3592360) When an employee is created with a UPI and the person level is activated, the UPI becomes the person code. In principle each employees gets a unique UPI and person code. However, when an employee already exists, the existing UPI is searched for based on the Social Security Number (BSN) and linked to the new employee. As a result one person has two employees. This concerns the same person with multiple employments at the organization.  Sometimes an employee who is employed a second time is assigned a unique UPI and is, therefore, linked to a new person. This can be resolved using Employee > Person > Change UPI. Situation When an existing employee with start date 1-1 is linked to a new employee with start date 1-7 using the ‘Change UPI’ option, the UPI and person are unlinked at the existing employee for the 1-1 to 1-7 period. As of 1-7 the existing employee is again linked to the new person. This ensures that changes prior to 1-7 are not applied to the new employee as well. The existing person, who has no linked employees, is removed. This ensures no employee is linked to two persons. Action No action is required.
