This section contains enhancements in Infor HR Talent.

Bureau of Labor Statistics delivered content

The new delivered content is available at Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Delivered Content by running the Load action for the description "Bureau of Labor Statistics Content".

Users can set up the new content at Payroll Administrator > Regulatory Reporting > Current Employment Statistics Survey > Configurable Fields. Provide a Reporting Unit Number, Comment Codes and the desired employee count overrides for each Division Code. Employee Configurable Fields can be used to override each employee location.

Users can generate the Current Employment Statistics Survey submission file for the Bureau of Labor Statistics agency at Payroll Administrator > Regulatory Reporting > Current Employment Statistics Reporting > Current Employment Statistics Reporting.

You must properly define custom groups and pay structures to appropriately classify employees accounting for production, construction, non-supervisory employees, and overtime and commission payments. Groups of work assignments can be specified at Payroll Administrator > Setup > Custom Groups. Use the subject HCMGroupPayrollRegulatory. Pay classes and summary groups can be managed by navigating to Payroll Administrator > Setup > Pay Structure.

New Nebraska unemployment reporting file creation setup

A new File Creation Setup for Unemployment Reporting for Nebraska has been added in compliance with the new specifications. The Employer Account Number and Reporting Year and Quarter are now included in the employee record. The employee counts for the months of the quarter are also included.

To load the new content, navigate to Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Delivered Content and run the Load action for the description "Unemployment".

JT-1703183

Off Cycle Payroll Register report

A new off cycle payroll register report is now available at Payroll Administrator > Off Cycle Processing > Off Cycle Payroll Register to report payments and totals for created off cycle payments. This report utilizes columnar database functionality that improves reporting performance and supports the ability to aggregate data using additional methods. Payroll administrators can now generate totals by other options in addition to by payment schedule.

The off cycle payroll register includes a Payments tab that reflects each created off cycle employee payment with sub-totals using columnar data. The Payment Totals tab displays only totals from created off cycle payments using columnar data.

The Wage and Deduction Totals tab does not use columnar data. It references existing analytic cube views that have a Payment Status = Created and OffCyclePayments = true. Pivot Views are available for ease of pivoting to various rolled-up total views.

This feature depends on the previously delivered columnar replication sets COL_GHR_ST and COL_PAYROLL_ST.

Refer to KB article #2129639 for more information about delivered replication sets.

The use of delivered columnar replication sets for payroll must be enabled by navigating to Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Configuration, and selecting the Use Delivered Columnar Replication Sets check box.

To replicate off cycle payments, the Replicate Payroll Columnar Data action must be run after off cycle payments are created for the data to be reported.

OffCycleRecords (EmployeePayrollCycle.OffCycleRecords) is a new dimension on the EmployeeTimerecord and EmployeePaymentDeductionDetail analytic cubes used for wage and deduction totals shown in the off cycle payroll register. Delivery of a new dimension requires the cubes to be reloaded. To reload the cubes, navigate to:

Administrator > Utilities > Refresh Cubes

or

Administration Console > Analytics > Reload and Refresh Cubes

Use the Reload action on those two cubes.

Outbound BOD validation

The BOD Auditing module has been enhanced. When outbound SourceSystemJournalEntry and SupplierInvoice Business Object Documents (BODs) are sent to a third party, the BOD Auditing module validates whether the third party system has received the BODs or rejected them. The status of the Outbound BODs can be Accepted or Rejected.

JT-1675329

Multi-threading available for the Mass Move One Time Deductions action

Multi-threading is now available for the Mass Move One Time Deductions action located at Payroll Administrator > Deduction Maintenance > One Time Deductions > Mass Move One Time Deductions. The action can now run faster. Users can change the number of threads used for this action depending on the max actions allowed for the queue. Action Configuration must be enabled to use multi-threading.

JT-1674882

New Add action to add employee time records to a locked payroll cycle

A new Add action has been added to the Employees In Cycle tab located at Payroll Administrator > Cycle Processing > Payroll Cycle. Users can use the Add action to add Future status time records to a locked payment schedule. With this new action, an employee that was never in the pay cycle can be included in payroll cycle processing.

If an employee does not have an existing Employee Payroll Cycle record, then the Add action creates one in error status. The calculate payments and print payments statuses are also updated to error status. If an existing Employee Payroll Cycle record is locked and the Add action is used, then an error is displayed. If an employee is individually unlocked in payroll cycle, then a Future status time record can be added.
