Premier ESS Release Notes - VIP Payroll

6
Leave Calendar no longer displays by default
When an employee is applying for leave (or an approver approving leave) the employee leave calendar no longer displays
by default. This was done to improve the performance of the Leave Request and Leave Approval Pages.
There is now a check box on the page that can be ticked and then the leave calendar will display as normal.
Leave request warning messages
The warning messages displayed to employees when submitting a leave request have been changed to make the messages
more prominent. They now display in Bold Red.
The messages that were changed are:
• When an employee is trying to apply for leave and they have insufficient leave and the line in Premier Payroll
leave control is set to Stop, then the following message displays: Not enough leave available for planned
transaction.
• When an employee is applying for leave that will result in a negative leave balance and the line in Premier Payroll
leave control is set to Warning, then the following message displays: WARNING: This transaction will
result in negative leave taken.
Calendar event when approving a leave request
When a leave cancellation request was being approved, the approver had an option to add the leave request to their calendar.
This has been removed as leave cancellations are generally not added to a calendar.
When a leave request approval email was received by the approver and the Leave event attached to the calendar was
opened by the approver, this event incorrectly had an Accept / Decline option, which resulted in a meeting acceptance
email being sent to the employee. This event definition has been changed from a meeting to an event, which removed
the options to Accept / Decline.
