Release Notes: 12/29/2023

We've made it to the end of 2023 which means the tax updates for 2024 are right around the corner! This release includes additional fixes and improvements across TempWorks products.

*Note* For all self-hosted clients, the following must be noted/completed for the upcoming 2024 tax updates release:

  1. There will not be an Enterprise release included this week. The latest Enterprise release will remain the 12/14 version.
  2. The database updates included in this release (12/29) must be applied immediately in order to receive and apply the 2024 tax updates that are coming via an off-cycle release over the weekend.
  3. In the event additional off-cycle releases are required after the initial 2024 tax updates release, hot-fixes must be applied against the 12/14 version of Enterprise.

Administrators who have the ability to apply hot-fixes will likely receive pop-up notifications from within Enterprise until they have applied the hot-fixes that become available. These notifications may happen every 15 minutes until completed.

*Note* It is essential that the latest migration scripts are applied.  Additional information regarding these changes can be found within the Self-Hosted note at the bottom of this article.
