On April 3, 2020, iSolved deployed product release version 6.6 that includes enhancements to iSolved HCM and Benefits. More information about the updates are detailed below.
iSolved Payroll and HR
Updated login screen for users with multiple accounts
If users have multiple iSolved accounts tied to the same Self Service Email address, the latest update helps them navigate between accounts. When logging in, the employee with multiple accounts should select the account they want before completely logging in. Previously, the employee could log in, but would use the employee icon in the top-left corner to switch between accounts.
The drop-down also changed to switch accounts. An employee with multiple accounts should click “change employee or user” to get back to the login screen, where they can select another account.
Improved experience in Employee Onboarding
- Several enhancements were made to the look and feel of employee onboarding to improve the employee experience. These enhancements include:
- Messages are now allowed on eligible pages of the Onboarding Wizard to customize the onboarding process for new hires and provide the information they need.
- Messages display in a new and improved format.
Assign employee numbers upon save
- A new configuration option allows you to auto-assign employee numbers when you save. This feature is designed for multiple people hiring employees at the same time, preventing duplicate numbers from being assigned if users save new hires simultaneously.
- The functionality works by locating the highest employee number used and adding one to generate the next available number.
Default Timeclock ID to match employee number
- A new field allows the default timeclock ID to match the employee number, which can be used with or without the auto-assignment of the employee number feature mentioned above.
- Note: If the employee number is manually updated, the timeclock ID will not automatically update. This only works when you are first auto-assigning employee numbers.
Updated Form I-9
- Updated to new version of I-9 Form and instructions (expiration: October 31, 2022)
- Additions to the form and instructions:
- ‘eSwatini’ to the list of countries in the drop-down
- Macedonia updated to Macedonia, North
- CAN and MEX added to state drop-down lists for border commuters
- Validation added for any non-required fields left blank on the form (middle initial, other last names used, email address, telephone number)
- Language of the pop-up validation: You have not completed all fields. Return to the form and review missing fields. If you need help, click on the information icon next to each field. Once you have reviewed the form and are ready to sign, reselect Sign Form. Upon signing, any fields left blank at that time will be auto-completed with N/A.
- Informational icons added to assist employees completing the form enhance user experience
- When you select U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card for List A I-9 Document Title, the issuing authority now defaults to U.S. Department of State.
iSolved Payroll and HR updates to the login screen and I-9 were automatically applied. If you would like to take advantage of the available enhancements to Onboarding, assigning employee numbers upon save, or defaulting the time clock ID number to match the employee number, please reach out to your payroll specialist.
iSolved Benefits
New Benefit Groups functionality
- You can now bundle Benefit Plans within Benefit Enrollment, allowing your employees to elect an entire group of plans at one time. This ensures that employees choose the same coverage for all plans in the group.
- Within Benefit Plans, the Enrollment Date field is now Enrollment Submission Date, and a new field called Plan Enrollment Date tracks the original date an employee enrolled in the plan.
If you would like to discuss using Benefit Groups for your company, please contact your assigned benefits specialist.
