Dear Backstage Users,

Please find below list of new features that we introduced in March.

Backstage Team


Admin Portal

Email Template

  • New template for Activity/Action Taken - new Email Template for Activity and triggered when action is taken. You can now customize the content for this new notification.

Payroll

  • Payroll/Recalculate Post-Payroll Items - some of you process leave taken in current month in next month payroll, but calculation of Average Daily Wages requires payroll of current month to be ready before next month. In this case you still have to record current month leave pay in current month payroll. Backstage handles this by "Recalculate Post-Payroll Items". You can now determine which pay types will be recalculated after payroll is posted by adding remarks "[RECALCULATE_AFTER_PAYROLL]" at Job Order Template/Pay Item.

  • Average Daily Wages/Disregarded Days - previously only pay items that are "gross salary" will be considered as "Disregarded Days". Now this limitation is removed and allowed more flexibilities.

  • Payroll Variable/Overtime Hours - new variation "ATTENDANCE_APPLICATION" which returns overlapping minutes of actual overtime and approved overtime application.

Taxation

  • IR56B Batch/Maximum number of forms - now maximum number of 5000 forms is accepted before splitting into multiple files.
