Notifications Menu adapted - Inflow changed to Inflow/Outflow Why Adding the menu option Proposed transition payment and the wizard Copy employee - Transition payment  means that outflow processes are now supported via the Inflow menu, alongside the inflow processes. With the January 2020 release, the name of the menu item has therefore been changed from Inflow to Inflow/Outflow. How Employee > Inflow/Outflow The name of the menu item has been changed. Your action No action is required. Resolved notifications Incorrect presentation of leave - Leave exceeding the annual limit was booked in the old year (change 1888123) Notification While Leave Year 2019 was still active, leave from 2020 was sometimes taken. These deductions were recorded in the Settled column for 2019. However, when the new year was created, these deductions were also processed in the new year, with the transferred hours also being reduced by this amount. Only after the recalculation of the previous year were these deductions correctly processed and entered in the Settled column for 2020.   Solution The time at which leave is taken determines how the leave is booked and provides the basis on which HR Core Business recalculates the relevant leave years. From now on, leave booked for 2020 while the 2020 leave year has yet to be created will be debited as soon as the leave balance for leave year 2020 becomes available. In other words, it will no longer be initially debited from the 2019 balance. Leave booked in 2019 will be debited from the 2019 leave year. Leave booked in 2019 while the 2020 leave year is already available, will be debited from the balance of the 2019 leave year. Any balance carried forward from 2019 to 2020 will be reduced by this amount. In the event of leave being booked in previous, inactive years, make sure that all previous years are automatically recalculated. Your action We advise you to remove leave year 2020 by using the action Undo current leave year. The actual leave year will be 2019 again. Here you can calculate the leave balance again by using the action Current leave year correction. After finishing this action you can create the leave year 2020. Authorization group - new authorization group not immediately visible (change 1418078 ) Notification When a new authorization group was created, this new group was not immediately visible and could not be assigned. This was because HR Core Business always checked whether an authorization group was available on the first day of the current period and only then displayed it on screen. Solution The checking procedure has been changed. HR Core Business now reviews the entire (current) period to see which authorization groups are available and which should, therefore, be displayed. Your action No action is required. Problem saving email addresses that contain uppercase letters (change 1924212) Notification Saving an email address that contained an uppercase (i.e. capital) letter was not possible because it was not seen as a valid entry. This was due to a new validity check for email addresses. Solution The check has been adapted so that you can simply save email addresses that contain uppercase letters. Your action No action is required.   Publishing Date : 2/21/2020

Announcements We have adjusted the june release notes.    Easycruit fields added to the 'Aannemen kandidaat' form On the form 'Aannemen kandidaat' (Accept candidate) there are now 5 fields on the "Aannemen kandidaat" form which are filled in with a (correct) value from Easycruit. However, with the import we are getting a mismatch with Self Service fields because the layout of the self-service fields differ from that of Easycruit. These values on those 5 fields are causing an error message on the form. These error messages are not acceptable. That is why we have decided to remove the automatic filling in of these 5 fields. This will take place in the July release. it's concerning these 5 fields: Gender (Geslacht) Salutation (Aanhef) Nationality (Nationaiteit) Marital Status (Burgerlijke staat) Country (Woonland) New Add attachments in recruitment process All Self Service We have a new functionality available to add attachments from Easycruit. After selecting a candidate, the user can add attachments, with a few clicks, from Easycruit to the Self service process and can now be redirected to the personnel file.  In the July release we will add 2 improvements into this process:  All attachments shall be default selected when entering the form "Kandidaat aannemen" to reduce the step to go back; After clicking on the button "Kandidaat aannemen" you get a message: ""Please note! If you press the" Accept candidate "button, you cannot go back to add attachments from Easycruit." Until the July release these instructions are the way to add the attachements from Easycruit: When a user is in the form 'Aannemen kandidaat', the user can click on the 'paperclip'. A selection screen with all available attachments will now appear. You can select or deselect each attachment on the screen. After clicking on the OK button, the user sees the selected attachments. The user can go back by clicking on the paperclip, to adjust the selection. The selected attachments are processed within the (re)hire process. The user can continue with the (re)hire process by clicking on the button: 'Kandidaat aannemen'. Modified and improved Easycruit fields added to the 'Aannemen kandidaat' form The new fields are placed on the existing 'Aannemen kandidaat' form and are immediately visible and are linked to the corresponding Rubric codes of the HR Core systems. You do not have to take extra steps. We have added the following fields to the 'Aannemen kandidaat' form. The data for these fields is provided by Easycruit: E-mail (E-mail) Telephone (Telefoon) Mobile phone (Mobiele telefoon) Solved changes Rehire: error message when searching for employee (change 1512580) Problem In one specific case, an error message appeared during employee searches. Solution As from this release, the error will not occur anymore. '500' errors in Start menu and no buttons inside a workflow (change 1443182) Problem Clicking the Start menu causes an error message to appear.  Solution As from this release, the error will not occur anymore. Error in rounding totals to exactly zero in spreadsheet (change 1354358) Problem There are some values that are very close to 0 (for instance, 2.2204460492503131E-16 or -2.2204460492503131E-16). Because of the way computers run calculations, the result of 1.1 + 0.6 -1.7 is not exactly zero (0). In this case, the value shown on the spreadsheet could be 0.00000000000000022. The problem is that we are not using twice the value of 0.00000000000000022. Instead, we are changing the value to string (treated as text), which results in 2.22.  Solution Our software will now convert small values like 0.00000000000000022 to valid values, according to the rubric (the decimal property). Note: There is a limit, and values below 0.00000000000000000000000000001 will be converted to 0.00.. Publishing Date : 5/31/2019

22-03-2022 Workflow with a '%' in the name cannot be selected in Activity Profile (change 3132840) When searching in Activity Profile for a workflow and using a special character, an error 500 appeared. This is fixed now. You are allowed to search by special characters in column names that exist in the list of workflows. 'Medewerker code' header is changed in 'Reg.nr' (change 3380533) When selecting an employee from the employee list the title 'Medewerker code' was changed to 'Regnr.'. This has been reversed now. The changing of the naming had no influence on the behavior of the selection screen. 'Autorisatie op inzet' checkbox is visible in Special functions (change 2695338) "Autorisatie op inzet" checkbox is visible in Special Functions, but this is no functionality for Self Service Business. The checkbox has been removed. 18-03-2022 Security issue solved by preventing javascript injections (change 3317159)  If an attacker (hacker) can control a script that is executed in the victim's browser, then they can typically fully compromise that user. Youforce allows you to set links to websites you use. If potentially an admin gets to see the same links, this could be used to perform an XSS attack on them. We have fixed the parameter “TransactieCode” to prevent javascript injections in Self Service. In this way an attacker cannot control a script. Error 500 when selecting a mutation from archive List (change 3133167) When clicking on a mutation in Done or in Archive, an error 500 appeared. The error occurred because HTML text wasn’t allowed there. (F.i. <b> - Bold text, <i> - Italic text or <mark> - Marked text). We solved this now by allowing HTML text in Done and Archive lists. Template name is not properly displayed in the Formdump Report (change 3091010) If the name of an existing template is changed into a new name, the new name  is not updated in the Configuration Report. We solved this. The last name of the template linked to an activity and transition will be shown in the configuration report. Social security number (BSN number) is valid with value 000000000 (change 2924482) Up until now it was allowed to enter and save an invalid BSN number with value 000000000. We have built in a check which doesn’t allow this anymore. Concurrency unit fails when using expense forms (with datatype: DE) (change 446763) When using “concurrency unit” in a workflow, an employee can only have 1 active mutation of this workflow in Todo. This was not working properly. An employee could have multiple active expense mutations at the same time. This is fixed now.  An employee can't create more than 1 active mutation at the same time when the concurrency unit has been filled in the workflow configuration. Datetime in GMT+0 in "uitvalverslag" (change 2875795) When facing the audit trail of a mutation including email the datetime that is presented you will see a difference of +1 or +2 (summer) between the fact that is sending the email and the datetime that is displayed on the report. This is fixed now. We use the CET datetime when registering email notification in "Uitvalverslag". Error 500 - Issue in Audit Trail when the user does not exist (change 2875718) If there is a mutation X that was started by a manager who left the company and the account or this manager was deleted in Self Service. When a different user clicked on the mutation and on the Audit trail (“+”) to see the facts an error 500 occurred. This is fixed now. When a user doesn’t exist anymore in Self Service and another user will click on the “+” in the Audit trail, the word: “Unknown” will appear instead of the name of the deleted user. "Failure report" tile gives an error 404 (change 2893964) When clicking on the tile “Failure report” the user gets an error 404. We have fixed this bug. The error isn’t occurring anymore. Wrong typo in warning message: “Anciënniteitmoet ingevuld zijn” (change 3328705) We have added a space between “anciënniteit”and “moet”. Date field from the module Flex Benefits gets turned around  (change 2886003) There was a malfunction of the system (Services). Now Flex Benefits is working as expected therefore this issue is not occurring anymore. Multilingual: Popup for email translations in Workflow definition is not working properly When you wanted to add a translation through the popup field, the change wasn’t saved. This is fixed now. We also improved the layout of this popup field. The “Save” and “Cancel” buttons were visible behind the translation box instead of visible below the popup field. Instruction to fill translated text including HTML If you want to display and translate this text: “Als je wilt dat een deel van je salaris op een andere rekening gestort wordt, dan kan je dat rekeningnummer hieronder invullen.” If you check the default value in the form configuration you will see the same text in Italic however in the Self Service DB is stored like: <p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: NL; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Als je wilt dat een deel van je salaris op een andere rekening gestort wordt, </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: NL; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">dan kan je dat rekeningnummer hieronder invullen.</span></em></p> This text has been copied from a Word document and has been saving all settings. Keep in mind that there is a limit of 300 characters in the Multilingual Module for default values but not for translated values. The default value here is longer than this limit. In addition we should stick using the options displayed for this control instead of copying it from a Word document. To recover this we advise to follow the following steps:  Delete the current default value in the form. Save the changes Put the plain text in the default value again but copied from a Notepad (with no styles) Apply Italic, bold and/or underlined style using the option that exists in the control (Defaultwaarde) Save the changes. Click on the multilingual icon Put the plain text in English but copied from a Notepad (with no styles) Apply Italic style using the option that exists in the control Save the changes. This is how it is saved now into Self Service Database: <p><em>Als je wilt dat een deel van je salaris op een andere rekening gestort wordt, dan kan je dat rekeningnummer hieronder invullen.</em></p> Multilingual: Error 500 when selecting a mutation from Todo list When the user had the multilingual default on the value English and the user clicked on the mutation an error 500 occurred. This specific mutation included a translated (english) text which contained more than the maximum amount of allowed characters. The english text has been reduced to less than 100 characters. Rehire search process is not working when there is an Apostrophe in the candidate's name (change 3345369) When there was a special character included in the employees name the rehire search on the employee's name wasn’t successful. This is fixed now. The search will take into account special characters.

New Reason for end of employment now also mandatory when importing external changes and using HRSS Why As of January 2020 the reason for end of employment has to be specified within the context of wage tax return and pension return. As of the February release it was already mandatory to provide a reason in the End of employment reason field in the Employee screen. When no reason is specified, the data in the screen cannot be stored. However, if an employee’s end of employment was specified by importing an end of employment date using, for example, Import/export > Import CSV, external links using Batch input or changes through HRSS, the availability of an end of employment reason was not checked. As of this release the system checks whether an end of employment reason has been specified when importing an end of employment date using the above-mentioned files. When no end of employment reason is available, the file will not be processed to prevent incorrect returns. How When a file that is imported contains an end of employment date, the system checks if the end of employment reason is also available for the employee concerned. If no end of employment reason is available, this will be reported and the whole file will be rejected. Your action When changes regarding an employee’s end of employment are not entered using the Employee screen in HR Core Business but through an interface or HRSS, you must modify the interface or HRSS form to be able to continue to use the change flow. Changed and improved New leave year included in overview Why When a new leave year was assigned, it was not included in the overview. The leave year to which the actions Correct current leave year and Undo current leave year applied was displayed. As of this release the leave year to which the New leave year action applies is also displayed. How Settings > Leave > Grant leave entitlement When a leave year is assigned through the New leave year action, the leave year is displayed when the action has been performed. When assigning leave has not been completed yet or has failed, no leave year is displayed. Your action No action is required. Solved Messages User is created in portal for inactive employee (change 1655273) Message When an employee’s end of employment was reported and the organizational unit was unlinked, a new user was created in the portal. The reason was that the change regarding the employee’s organizational unit resulted in new provision of details to the portal. Solution The software has been modified. When the organizational unit of an inactive employee is unlinked or modified, no details are provided to the portal. Your action No action is required. Employee data cannot be changed due to date of birth in the future (change 1834761) Message When entering employee data, a date of birth in the future was specified and stored by mistake. When the screen was reopened, it was blank and the date of birth could not be corrected. Solution The date of birth has been corrected by importing the correct date of birth. As of this release the system checks if a date of birth is in the future. Such dates can no longer be stored. If you enter a date in the future, the following error message will be displayed: Geboortedatum - Een toekomstige datum is niet toegestaan. (Date of birth - A future date is not allowed.) Your action No action is required. Leave balance 2019 could not be exported (change 1924008) Message It was not possible to export all the leave entitlements of 2019 of employees because the Export button was not available when another year was selected. Solution This has been modified and the leave entitlements can be exported again. Your action No action is required. Leave overview of previous years could not be exported (change 1169353) Message It was not always possible to export an already closed leave year from an employee’s leave overview; the opened year was exported instead. Solution We have ensured that when exporting previous leave years the correct data of the correct year is exported. Your action No action is required. Publishing Date : 3/19/2020

This document describes the new functionality and improvements introduced by this release. Some of these changes have been inspired by messages and reports from customers. Where relevant, we have included a number in the section title to refer to the identification of the message (change .....) in question in our system. Improvements Improving reliability of delivery for the HR Data Feed Why Many of our customers rely on the HR Data Feed to consume operational data to drive their ERP, CRM, Procurement, Fleet Management or Identity and Access Management Solutions and Financial Solutions and our monitoring shows we have been experiencing rapid growth of data and usage of the HR Data Feed which is impacting our ability to process and deliver the files in a timely manner. We wanted to improve this, so we have executed on several steps to improve the performance of processing all data, improve the delivery process and make sure that they become available before 06:00 am.

Data displayed in the standard reports R-AL-10300 and R-AL-10320 do not match (change 999473) Message In report R-AL-10300 there is Wettelijk verlof of last year missing. In the standard report R-AL-10320 the Wettelijk verlof of last year is actually being displayed. Analysis confirmed that Wettelijk verlof of last year is not being displayed in report R-AL-10300 because of an expiration date being taken into account. Solution The report has been modified, and starting with this release standard report R-AL-10300 will present the same data as presented in report R-AL-10320, Your action No action is required. Publishing Date : 1/31/2019

Solved Messages Base of employee master data - salary rounded to one decimal (2762418) Message The salary is rounded to 1 instead of 2 decimals in the Base of employee master data. Solution This has been resolved. As of this release, the salary is rounded to 2 decimals. Action This can be checked by selecting Employee > Employee > Base of employee master data. Closed organizational units wrongly forwarded to Portal (1253731) Message Sometimes the following error message was displayed in the Grouped User Management Logbook in the Portal: Role assignment Manager not processed: Organizational unit xxxxx not found. The managers of organizational units (OUs) that were already closed were mistakenly specified for the closed organizational units. Solution As of this release, no data of already closed organizational units is forwarded and the error message is no longer displayed. As a result, the Grouped User Management Logbook is more structured and any errors can be detected more easily.  Action No action is required. Employee is not forwarded to the Portal (2710118) Message Synchronization between the Person entity and the Employee was not always successful. Employees for which the Identity and/or Citizen service number fields had no value were not synchronized with the persons in question, and the employees were not forwarded to the Portal. Solution This has been resolved. The order of synchronization from the Person to the Employee is now correct and the employee is forwarded to the Portal. Action No action is required. Long-term illness and maternity leave - value of PIB date field incorrect (389486) Message Calculation of the PIB date field (Permanent Incapacity Benefit (Restrictions) Act (Wet Verbetering Poortwachter)) was incorrect when there was a period of maternity leave between two sickness registrations, as a result of which the second sickness registration was not marked as continuous. Solution A sickness registration is continuous when the period of recovery between two sickness registrations is less than 28 days. As of this release, the maternity leave period is no longer included when determining these 28 days. In the above situation, the second sickness registration is now considered to be continuous and the PIB date field will show the correct date. Action The maternity leave period is now considered where new sick reports are concerned. Already registered sick reports are not automatically modified. To ensure the correct PIB date of existing sick reports is calculated, the sick report following maternity leave must be removed and re-entered. Generating mail merge documents no longer works (2783083) Message In the Employee address details screen, the (mailmerge) indication was not visible at the aggregate fields for the mail merge address. As a result, mail merge documents could no longer be created.  Solution The (mailmerge) indication has been re-added to the following fields: Street / House number (mailmerge) (7569) Postcode / City (mailmerge) (7570) Country (mailmerge) (7568) Action No action is required.

New My Reports notification Why You will now receive a notification to let you know that a report is waiting in My Reports, so you can continue to work on other tasks in the meantime. How Location: Bar at the lower left of the screen > rightmost icon, Notifications A Notifications icon has been added to the bar below the menu at the lower left of the screen.  When you create a report, you will see the number 1 next to the icon as soon as the report is available in My Reports. If there are more reports available that you have not yet viewed, you will see how many next to the Notifications icon. Click on the Notifications icon to open the list. You will then see the notifications of the reports that are ready for you in My Reports, along with their creation date and time. Click on a notification to go straight to My Reports.  The notifications are cleaned up weekly, but you can also remove a notification manually by clicking on the X next to it.  Your action  No action is needed. Modified and improved Codes shown in Employment contract selection screens Why The Employment contract screen fields now show - between brackets - the code that is associated with the chosen value in order to assist users in selecting values in fields with a list or a search function (magnifying glass icon). If the values you can choose from are very similar, the codes may help to distinguish between them. How Path: Employee > Contract > Employment contract Click in a field to make a selection from a list and you will see the corresponding code in brackets after the description. If you use the magnifying glass icon to open a field selection screen, you will see that the Value column with the corresponding code has been added next to the Description column. Your action No action is needed. Notices of recovery with a date in the future are now sent to the Absenteeism Manager Why Notices of recovery entered for a date in the future were not sent to the Absenteeism Manager. How Employee > Illness > Absenteeism This problem has been resolved: as of this release, notices of recovery for dates in the future will be sent to the Absenteeism Manager.  Your action Because previously recorded notices of recovery for dates in the future will not be sent to the Absenteeism Manager, you will have to enter these again. Please delete your old notice of recovery before entering the new one. Publishing Date : 10/25/2019

Notifications Pension entitlement for 2020 based on the state pension agreement Why  In anticipation of the actual modifications in HR Core Business and Payroll Business, this instruction can be used to calculate which employees will reach the state pension age in 2020 of 66 years and 4 months. How Reports > Check > Ad hoc reporting Open the Ad hoc reporting screen and add the Date of birth element to the ad hoc report in Excel. Go to My Reports and open the Excel file of the ad hoc report. Filter by date of birth between 1 September 1953 and 31 August 1954. These are the employees who will reach state pension age in 2020. The age will be displayed in cell D2. Enter the number of months in the cells in column E. For 66 years and 4 months, this is 796 months.  The following formula can be used in the Dutch language version of Excel to calculate state pension age: ZELFDE.DAG(D2;E2). The function can also be used for the underlying cells using the fill handle for automatically populating cells in Excel. To view the correct dates, select column E and change the format of the cells to the correct date type for the location using the right mouse button. Note: when using the English language version of Excel, you should use the following formula: EDATE(D2;E2). Changed and improved The leave of absence requests screen retains employee selection If you wanted to register multiple changes to employee leave of absence requests, you were continually redirected to the original search screen and the employee selection was not retained. This required additional mouse clicks to reselect the employee. How Employee > Leave > Leave of absence request As of this release the Leave of absence request screen works as follows: When an employee has already been selected and the Leave of absence request screen is opened, the selection fields are populated. When you open a leave request and then return to the selection screen, the selection fields are populated but the directional path is reset to company level. If you then go to another page, you will have to reselect the employee. Your action No action is required.  Size of company search panel automatically adjusted Why The company search panel upper left in the application always had a fixed size. This required a lot of scrolling for clients with a large number of companies. As of this release, the size of the search panel has been adjusted to accommodate the number of companies.  How When you click the search panel to look for a company, you will see that the size is automatically adjusted to the number of companies. The size is set to the maximum value; on an average screen that amounts to approximately 29 companies.  Your action No action is required. Resolved notifications Leave balance incorrect (change 1629890) Notification Fixed extra individual leave entitlement with a start date before 2019 was treated as a one-off. If there was a change or leave was taken causing the balance to be recalculated, this individual leave was incorrectly set to zero.  Solution The software has been modified to ensure the fixed extra individual leave entitlement is indeed regarded as fixed, even when the start date is before 2019. Your action We recommend recalculating the leave balance for those employees whose fixed extra individual leave entitlement balance has been set to zero. Individual leave disappears when entering end of employment (change 1653522) Notification When an employee’s end of employment was entered and leave was recalculated, the individual leave entitlement was set to 0. Solution This has been modified. Upon end of employment the leave is no longer set to 0. Your action Perform a recalculation for employees whose leave was incorrectly set to 0. Branch cannot be linked to Organization Unit (change 1650045) Notification It was not possible to link a branch to an Organization Unit (OU) when it had already been linked to a child or parent OU. An error message was displayed, stating that the branch was not unique within the OU.  Solution The program now checks within the OU to see whether or not a branch is unique. The error message is no longer displayed, and a branch can be linked to the selected OU.  Your action No action is required. Publishing Date : 8/23/2019

Notifications Give feedback on our software Use Wootric to give immediate feedback on our software. If you work with HR Core Business - Payroll Business, we will ask you for feedback in the application starting in January 2020. We will ask you a single closed question and we will ask you to provide additional background to your answer in Wootric, an online questionnaire platform. This will help us understand your priorities better so that we can improve the planning and development of new functionality. Your answers will be completely anonymous, and we will not share the results with third parties. Changed and improved Email address verification Why Email addresses are used in related applications for handling workflows. Invalid email addresses can cause workflow disruptions. The system needs to check whether the address is valid to prevent such problems. How  Employee > Employee > Employees If you enter an email address in the Email address field, the system will check whether the address consists of a user, an @ symbol and a domain. If the email address is invalid, an error message will be returned upon saving. Your action Check email addresses for accuracy. If an existing email address has an invalid format, you will receive an error message when you save any change in the Employees screen. This will also happen when you change another field in the screen and the Email address field contains an address that does not have the required format.  Active notifications for on-call contracts Why According to the Balanced Labour Market Act, which enters into force on 1 January 2020, employers are obliged to offer on-call workers a contract after 12 months of at least the average working time over the past 12 months. This offer must be made at the latest by the 13th month. In order to take action in time, you will need a notification as the end of the 12th month of an on-call contract approaches.  How Settings > Active notification > Define notification  The On-call contract option has been added to the notification conditions. You can now define a notification specifically for on-call contracts. When defining a notification, for example, a notification 12 months after the start date of an on-call contract, select Start date (Contract) as the source date type. Then go to the Conditions tab and select On-call contract = Yes for the appropriate condition. Your action If you have employees with an on-call contract, you can define a notification that will warn you when the end of their 12th month (measured from the start of the contract) is approaching. Visma | Raet logo in reports Why The acquisition of Raet and the combined Visma | Raet brand mean a new corporate logo. Reports will feature our new logo starting with this release.

Notifications Online release sessions  Several customers requested that we organize an online release session in addition to the Release Notes to explain the changes in the relevant release in more detail. We are happy to facilitate this. As we already mentioned in the February Release Notes, we will pilot a one-hour info session in the week following the release, in which we will further explain the most important changes in the release. During this session, we will devote extra attention to what you, as a customer, need to do in order to get the most out of modified or new features. We hope that this will clarify the Release Notes and the Actions listed for some of the changes. The first release session will take place on Tuesday, March 2, at 14:00 (CET). You can register via de Event calendar of Payroll Business. New ‘Payslips to Dynamic Payslip' interface not yet active  We are creating a feature allowing you to offer your employees dynamic payslips. At present, the Management - data exchange - interfaces screen already displays the new ‘Payslips to Dynamic Payslip' interface. The new interface is only displayed however; it is not yet available. We will provide more information in the next release.  Solved Messages Cannot read UPIs (2486778) Message  We have found that in some situations, the system cannot read the UPI if an employee is associated with two dates of birth in the system. The cause is a modification of a date of birth as per a different benchmark date. A retirement date is calculated for every date of birth and this generated an error message. Solution We have adjusted the code as per the March release, ensuring that UPIs are read without generating an error message. Should one employee be associated with two (different) dates of birth, the dates are copied to the person in chronological order. Action No action is required. Leave across year change with introduction of Wet Wieg (2179372) Message  It is impossible to take childbirth leave that falls in two calendar years because the system states there are insufficient remaining days of leave. Solution As per the March release, you can take supplementary childbirth leave across a year change. Action If you have not yet applied for supplementary childbirth leave across the year change, you can do this now. Otherwise, no further action is required.  Contact 2 is not deleted (2441425) Message If an employee stated through Self Service that two of their contacts had to be removed, a failed change resulted.  Solution After the March release, the change for deleting a second contact will be processed and not end up with the failed changes.  Action No action is required.

Announcements Improvements for user experience As announced in the June 2019 release notes, we have worked hard to improve the HR Core Business and Payroll Business user experience, including improving the look and feel. When you log in you will see the following changes: The field to search for a function in the menu is now more prominently at the top of the menu. Our icons have been updated. New nuances have been added to the color scheme within the screens, This gives a more pleasant screen contrast if you work in the application for a long period of time. Modified and improved Leave scheme in days Why To support leave requests of employees in Germany using our HR Core Business Global application, it is now possible to take leave in days. This means that leave accrual can take place in days and the deductions in full or half days. How Settings > Leave > Leave Entitlements  The screen used for creating a leave scheme now includes the Leave Unit field where you can choose between hours or days. The types of leave that are linked to the leave scheme are used based on this unit. The unit cannot be changed once the leave scheme has been created. The title bar of the type of leave indicates whether leave in hours or days is concerned.  If you have opted for days, leave accrual will take place using this leave scheme, based on the days in the work schedule. The number of hours an employee works per day is not taken into account. Example An employee with the following work schedule requests leave from Monday 20 May through to Friday 24 May. Mo Tu We Th Fr 4 hours 0 hours 8 hours 2 hours 0 hours For this period, 3 days will be deducted, irrespective of the number of hours for that day. Leave accrual will take place in the same way. An employee with the work schedule from the example accrues leave based on 3 working days per week, irrespective of the number of hours the employee works per day. Please note The check that is currently taking place on the maximum number per day is still based on hours: this means that the maximum is 24. Example: you want to take leave on one day and you enter as the start date and end date: 4 June 2019. If you also enter a number that is higher than 1, for example 23, the application will write off 23 days, while based on the start and end date only 1 leave day is expected. With an existing leave scheme, changing leave from hours to days is not yet supported. When creating a new leave scheme based on days, this scheme should not be linked to the Continued payment during leave (breakdown) employment benefit. This scheme always uses the hour's option. Your action No action is required.  Manager’s employee code in Organizational Unit detail screen Why Names within an organization are not always unique. It is therefore useful when the employee code of the selected manager is visible in the Organizational Unit detail screen.  How Settings > Formation and Organization > Organizational Units When a manager or backup manager is selected, the manager’s employee code will now be displayed after his/her name in the Organizational Unit detail screen. Your action No action is required.  Branch code in the Organizational Unit detail screen Why In order to determine if the correct branch has been linked to the Organizational Unit, it would be useful to not only include the description of the branch in the Organizational Unit detail screen but also its branch code. How Settings > Formation and Organization > Organizational Units When a branch is selected, the branch code will now be displayed after its description in the Organizational Unit detail screen. Your action No action is required. Values for Gender will be expanded in a next release Why In the January 2019 edition of the data specification for the Fiscal Declaration, the possible values ​​for the Gender field have been expanded, so that it is possible to correctly register persons who do not want to speak out for men or women. How Medewerker > Instroom > Aanmaken medewerker (Stap 1) Medewerker > Medewerker > Medewerkers Medewerker > Medewerker > Medewerker Medewerker > Medewerker > Partnergegevens   To meet the new specifications for the Fiscal declaration, the reference table that belongs to the Gender and Gender Partner fields contains the following values ​​from a next release.   Code Gender Description 0 Onbekend 1 Man 2 Vrouw 9 Niet gespecificeerd   Please note: these codes are passed on to the Fiscal Declaration and Uniform Pension Declaration (UPA). These values ​​are also available in other linked / receiving systems, such as HR Self Service and Management Information. Salutation The content of the Salutation field is automatically generated based on the Gender and Employee Name fields. From a next release, this field is therefore composed as follows:   Gender Name employee Salutation Composite name Onbekend Jansen <Leeg> Jansen Man Jansen De heer De heer Jansen Vrouw Jansen Mevrouw  Mevrouw Jansen Niet gespecificeerd Jansen <Leeg> Jansen   Your action If you import data from HR Core Business into your own systems via interfaces that include the Gender or Salutation fields, check whether your systems can receive the new values correctly and adjust your import process accordingly. Resolved notifications Active Notifications search screen not visible Notification When the search screen was used for Active Notifications by source date, the screen became very small when the Search button was clicked. Solution This has been resolved and following this release the search screen will retain the correct size.  Your action No action is required.  Organizational structure – OU name change not properly processed (change 958019) Notification When the & character was included in the description of an Organizational Unit, it was not always correctly displayed. The description was not processed properly and was therefore also displayed incorrectly in OrgSight.  Solution This has been resolved. As of this release, special characters such as the & character are correctly interpreted and displayed. OrgSight OU name change not properly displayed (change 958019) Notification Descriptions of Organizational Units that include special characters, such as the & character, were not always displayed correctly in OrgSight. Solution The cause of this problem has been resolved in HR Core Business and as of this release, the descriptions with special characters are displayed correctly in OrgSight.

This document describes the new functionality and improvements introduced by this release. Some of these changes have been inspired by messages and reports from customers. Where relevant, we have included a number in the section title to refer to the identification of the message (change .....) in question in our system. New (Re)hire (Re)hire is a special function that facilitates the hiring and rehiring process. This process will help you to check if a person has worked for your company before, for how long, and how many contracts he/she had in the past. Using this information, the manager or the person who is starting the hiring process can decide if this person should be hired on a permanent or temporary basis. Important condition You can not do this yourself. Before you can use the (Re)hire process, you have to carry out some configuration steps. Please contact your HCM-consultant for this. It concerns the following that must first be carried out: The Unique Personal ID (this is the unique key that links employment) and the contract sequence number must be correctly entered and correctly kept for the existing population. Configure the special function from Beheer menu > Workflow definition tab > Wijzigen speciale functies. Configuration The name of the new special function is (Re)hire.  Using the Wijzigen button, you can configure which workflows will be available for the users of this process. Authorizations will be taken into consideration, so you should be authorized for the special function and the workflows as well. This process is designed to work only with new workflows. If any other workflow type is configured it will not work. Usage To use the special function, go to the Start menu and the configured tab as you would for any other workflow. When you start the process, the application will guide you through three steps to see the employee’s data. Step 1 -  Search of employee The fields 'Birth name' and 'Date of birth' are mandatory. After introducing the data you can use the button Search to show the results. From this page you can also go to the new workflows that are configured to start the process for an employee who has not worked for the company in the past. When you select an employee from the list, you will be redirected to step number 2. Step 2 -  BSN Check You must enter the selected employee’s BSN number to ensure that you are authorized to see the employee’s contract data. If the BSN number is incorrect, you will receive a message. If you enter an incorrect BSN number three times, you will be redirected to the start page. Step 3 -  Contract history This step shows the contract history of the selected employee and other useful information to help you decide if the person can be rehired and with which contract type. Using the Next button it is possible to access the list of new workflows configured to start the process. Solved messages No error message when using distance calculation with no values or wrong values All Self Service Problem No error message occurs if a wrong or no zipcode, streetname or country has been filled in.   Solution As from this release, we have added several error messages in Self Service when you are filling the field incorrectly for the distance calculations. In case of zero value zipcode the error message will be: An error message occurred when calculating this distance. You have used an incorrect zip code. In case of zipcode does not excist the error messages will be: An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. You have used a not known zip code. An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. The distance calculation could not take place due to an incorrect value.   In case of incorrect zipcode format the error messages will be:  An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. You have used an incorrect zip code. An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. The distance calculation could not take place due to an incorrect value.   In case of incorrect country code format the error message will be: An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. You have used an incorrect country code.   In case the zipcode from is equal to Zipcode to the error message will be: An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. You have used the same zip code.   In case of empty country code the error message will be: An error message has occurred when calculating this distance. Country can not be empty.   Publishing Date : 3/29/2019

20-1-2022 Batch Signing filtering improved Case fixed: In the Batch Signing page, when filtering the data by using the search functionality and getting results on multiple pages -> when going to another page the search parameter was lost and the displayed data was not filtered by it anymore.  

Changed and improved Branch linked to organizational unit twice (change 1324877) Notification Sometimes branches were linked to the same organizational unit twice without having been added twice by the same end user. As a result, data was transmitted twice to the systems linked to these branches. Solution Some branches were registered twice because the software did not check for the existence of branches in the future. Now, if a branch already exists at a future date, an error message will appear. Your action No action is required. Profile (703DV) not exported for new employees (change 1579908) Notification To enter new employees in Self Service, profiles were used through the added (703DV) field for the profile on the Contract screen with the aim of managing the employment conditions cluster. Because this field did not record the data at the correct level, it was not exported. Solution This release allows users to send profile data at contract level via the (703PS) field. Your action No action is required. Leave balance after calculation of fixed extra individual leave entitlement sometimes incorrect (change 1629890) Notification Calculating fixed extra individual leave entitlement with a starting date before 2019 did not go well because this was treated as a one-off after the release of 2019-07. As a result, the leave balance is not correct for employees with a fixed extra individual leave entitlement for whom a mutation / leave record has been recorded, so that the leave balance had to be recalculated. If there are no mutations or leave recordings recorded for these employees, the leave balance is correct. Solution From this release, the fixed extra individual leave entitlement will again be treated as a fixed entitlement. Your action If you make use of fixed extra individual leave rights in your organization, we advise you to check the balance with these employees and to perform a recalculation for leave if necessary.

  This document describes the new functionality and improvements introduced by this release. Some of these changes have been inspired by messages and reports from customers. Where relevant, we have included a number in the section title to refer to the identification of the message (change .....) in question in our system. New GDPR leave and absence data Why Within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) it must be possible to purge employee data. In general a storage period of two years following termination of employment applies to most HR data. The storage period of this data is also referred to as the retention period. To support the retention period and deletion of the corresponding data, the Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) screen has been included in HR Core Business as of this release. In this screen you can specify the retention period for specific leave and absence data. The selected data will be deleted when the retention period ends. This deletion procedure consists of two steps, with each deletion step taking place every two weeks: First, the data is made inactive. The data can still be viewed in the Change report where it has the Deleted Secondly, the actual deletion is performed. Following this step, the data can no longer be viewed and has been permanently removed from the application. How Maintenance > Repository > Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) The Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) screen can be used to specify for how many years the leave and absence data should be retained when an employee’s employment has terminated. This can be specified per company using the Add button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Field Explanation Gegevens AVG (GDPR data) Select the data for which you want to specify the retention period: Sickness absence Request for leave Retention period Here you can specify the number of years the data should be stored after the employee’s employment has terminated. The storage period or retention period should be at least 2 years to ensure deletion of this data does not result in recalculations. If you enter a figure lower than 2, an error message is displayed at the top of the screen and the data cannot be stored. When the retention period ends, the data is made inactive based on biweekly deletion actions. The Change report can be checked to see what data is concerned: the data in question has the Deleted status. Two weeks after having been made inactive, the data is permanently deleted from the application and can no longer be viewed. Start Bewaartermijn (Start of retention period) This has the standard entry Einde dienstverband (Termination of employment). Your action If you want leave and absence data of your employees to be deleted based on the minimum retention period of two years, you can set up the Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) as described above. Excluding employees from data deletion based on GDPR parameters Why Sometimes it may be necessary to exclude employees from general deletion of leave and absence data when the minimum retention period of two years has ended. Therefore, individual employees can be excluded from general deletion to ensure their data will not be automatically deleted when the retention period has ended which has been specified in the Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) screen. For this purpose an option has been added to the Employee (supplementary) screen. How Employee > Employee data > Employee (supplementary) If you do not want the data of an employee to be automatically deleted when the storage period or retention period specified in the Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) screen has ended, you can exclude that employee by selecting Yes in the Uitsluiten van AVG (Exclude from GDPR) field in the Employee (supplementary) screen. When you leave the Uitsluiten van AVG (Exclude from GDPR) field blank or select No, the employee’s data will be automatically deleted based on a biweekly job. If you select Yes at Uitsluiten van AVG (Exclude from GDPR) and later change the value to No or leave the field blank and the storage period or retention period has already ended, this employee will as yet be included in the next deletion round. Your action If you want to exclude individual employees from deletion of leave and absence data based on the parameters specified in the Stuurgegevens AVG (GDPR parameters) screen, you should select Yes for these employees in the Uitsluiten van AVG (Exclude from GDPR) field in the Employee (supplementary) screen. Modified and improved Contract sequence number field supports periods Why  The Employee screen in HR Core Business includes the Contract sequence number field for the new re-hire process in Self Service. This field had no periods as a result of which it was not possible to specify the contract sequence number with a specific start date. How  Employee > Employees The Contract sequence number field now supports periods, as a result of which the system stores the value with the specified start date. The various values with a start data can, therefore, be seen in the history . Your action No action is needed. Identity check in relation to name and date of birth Why The Identity field is used for authorizations in the portal. Now it is possible to issue the same identities multiple times. The existence of an identity is checked in the portal. To ensure that the identity of a specific employee is unique, the name and date of birth combined with the identity are checked upon identity entry (check at the source). How Employee > Employee data > Employee (supplementary) When the Identity field is entered in the Employee (supplementary) screen, the system will check if the specified Identity already exists. If it does, the system will check if the last name and date of birth of the employee with the existing Identity match those of the employee with the newly entered Identity. This check only takes place when a new Identity is registered. If the name of an employee were to change in the future, the system will not check whether that name belongs to a non-unique Identity. Your action No action is needed. There will be no retroactive check to ensure existing Identities are unique. Resolved notifications Extended Change report for leave is not included in My Reports (change1198351) Reports > Audit summaries > Change report (extended) Message If at Change report (extended) you opted for leave elements at the selection criteria, the system specified that the report had been included in My Reports. However, the requested Change report (extended) was not available in My Reports. This issue only occurred when leave elements were selected. With other elements the change report was indeed available in My Reports. Solution This technical issue has now been resolved. Your action No action is needed. OrgSite – Extended search functionality did not work correctly (change 465756) Message If you wanted to search for a specific term in OrgSite, but not by last name, only approximately matching results were displayed and no exact matches. Solution To make it possible to use other search criteria than just last name, but based on an exact match with the search term, the Expliciet zoeken (Explicit search) option has been added to the search function. Your action You do not have to take any action. Publishing Date : 2/22/2019

Modified and Improved Recruitment fields in 'Accept candidate' form In the release notes of June and July we communicated that we would make a solution for the 5 fields on the 'Accept candidate' form because the layout of the Self Service fields differs from that of Recruitment and Selection. The values in these fields are causing an error message on the form. From now on the import of data for these fields are transferred from the values of Recruitment and Selection automatically to the correct value within the Self Service fields. It concerns the following fields: Title Marital Status Country Gender The field: Salutation is only being presented in the candidate form because the HR Core has no seperated field for this value. Pay attention: When you use the connection with Recruitment and Selection you have to use the standard from Recruitment and Self Service tables. Publishing Date : 8/12/2019

Modified and improved  Reference date and filters – Request for leave screen Why  The Request for leave search screen contained all the requests for leave of all the employees within the selected company. As a result of this, loading the data on the screen and searching the data took a long time. That is why a reference date has been added to the screen that, in combination with a filter, can be used to refine the search for specific requests.   How  Employee > Leave > Request for leave Based on the specified reference date the requests for leave that were active on that date are displayed. For example, if you enter the reference date 1 February 2019, all the requests for leave that start on, are still active on or end on 1 February 2019 are displayed. A search term can be entered in the fields above each column to further refine the search, for example, by specifying (part of) the name of an employee. The same applies to the employee code, the contract, the contract ID or the date the request for leave was submitted.  Your action No action is required.  Resolved notifications Opening the Request for leave screen takes too long (change 901938) Notification  The retrieval of requests for leave often took very long because all the requests for leave, including the historic requests, of all employees had to be loaded in the Request for leave screen. Solution Employee > Leave > Request for leave The Request for leave screen has been modified and the information is displayed quicker. The requests for leave are now filtered based on the reference date. This means you will only see the requests for leave of which the end date of leave is beyond the reference date. The displayed requests for leave can now also be filtered by specifying a specific (part of an) employee name or employee code in the fields at the top of the screen. It is also possible to filter by the date the request for leave was submitted. Your action No action is required. Publishing Date : 5/24/2019
