2019 Release Notes
Updated onArticle- We added new Messages and Notifications icons to all pages for easier access to TimeForge alerts.
TimeForge can reference breaks rules, exception rules, and pay rules to automatically add 1 hour of regular pay to an employee's time card when they fail to take a scheduled meal period, or if their attended meal period is less than the allowed duration (ie 30 minutes). This hour will be coded with a meal penalty pay code (not straight time). Similar logic can be applied for rest periods as configured. This functionality does not reference waivers. This functionality is configurable by location or company-wide.
We added new functionality to our Shift Differentials feature to allow for tailored time frames with fixed amount increases (like paying anyone who works from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am an extra $3.00 per hour).

This can be super helpful if you need to train or onboard a single employee here or there, as it allows you to send a standard onboarding or training packet without having to upload each individual document to the employee's profile.
