Reckon Payroll update! β¨ Managing the default super fund and lots more improvements!
Reckon Payroll has received a significant new update today that introduces enhancements in how you manage the default system super fund along with a bunch of other improvements and big fixes.
Check out the full inclusions of this Reckon Payroll update below.
π Managing the default super fund
The process of managing the system-generated default super fund has been refined with this new update and there have been a number of improvements introduced along with a change for newly created Reckon Payroll books.
β¨ Ability to designate your own default super fund
You can now designate your own default super fund rather than using the system-generated fund. Simply head over to Settings β‘οΈ Superannuation Funds β‘οΈ Select Default Fund β‘οΈ Select the super fund you'd like to designate as the default super fund
β¨ Removal of the system-generated super fund on newly created Reckon Payroll books
Reckon Payroll included a system generated default super fund as a temporary option for super calculations in pay runs in the event you hadn't setup the employee's own super fund.
The system generated super fund was introduced at a time when Reckon Payroll didn't have the ability to create a custom super fund. Since Reckon Payroll users can setup custom super funds and now also designate a default fund, the system generated default super fund will no longer be available in newly created Reckon Payroll books.
In a newly created Reckon Payroll book, the super funds screen will display a prompt to create any necessary super funds.
β¨ Alert messages - Existing Reckon Payroll books only
For existing Reckon Payroll books that still contain the system generated fund, you'll notice new warning messages on the super funds, employee and pay runs screens for the system generated super fund specifically.
In the event where no employees are assigned to the system generated fund, it will be hidden and no longer appear for selection.
β¨ Enhancements to employee superannuation screen
The superannuation tab in an employee's profile has been updated to show more detailed information. The ABN for a super fund along with its USI will be displayed for greater clarity. Additionally, super funds are now grouped by their respective fund which will make it easier for you to manage and identify.
β¨ 'Joined Date' field now optional
When adding a super fund to an employee, the joined date field is now optional for added flexibility during setup.
π Improved messaging when reverting a pay run to draft
A message will now be displayed to let you know a payment to a super fund is linked to the pay run when you attempt to revert it to draft.
π Financial information when creating new super fund
The bank account name, BSB and bank account number fields are now optional when setting up a new super fund.
π ESA for Self Managed Super Funds
The Electronic Service Address (ESA) field when setting up a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is now optional.
π Archiving an employee
We've improved the messaging when archiving an employee to be more informative and reinforce archiving an employee will prevent them from being selected in newly created pay runs in future.
Bug Fixes
π Maximum accumulation of leave - FIXED
A fix has been applied to ensure the maximum accumulation of leave field defaulting to zero when accessing and editing step 2 of the employee profile wizard.
π Access Denied screen flicker - FIXED
An access denied message momentarily appearing on-screen when signing in or signing out of Reckon Payroll has been addressed and fixed.
π Error when applying fixed amount overtime item to employee pay setup - FIXED
An error that prevented the ability to add a fixed amount overtime item to an employee's pay setup has been resolved in this update.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone! π π
I'm on leave from 23 December and back on deck again January 6th.
