Release Notes: 07/01/2022

Welcome to July! This release brings improvements to basic and advanced searching in Beyond, the ability to manage employee taxes in Beyond, and more fixes across TempWorks products.

*Action Required - Beyond* Beginning this release (7/1/2022), only users who have the “Can view Employee Pay History pages” permission will be able to access Pay History on an employee’s profile.

To avoid interrupting users’ access to Employee Pay History information, we recommend ensuring that users who should have access to an employee’s Pay History are set up with a security group that contains the “Can view Employee Pay History pages” permission.

This permission is automatically included within the following default security groups:

  • TempWorks Default - Staffing Specialist
  • TempWorks Default - Pay Clerk
  • TempWorks Default - Administrator
  • TempWorks Default - Front Office Manager

This change is in preparation for additional Pay History pages that are being developed for the employee record in Beyond.

For more information on managing permissions in Beyond, please see the article titled Beyond - Managing Security Groups.

*Note* For all self-hosted clients, as always, ensure you install all updates to give your users the best experience and new features.  Review the instructions at the end of the release notes to avoid potential user impact.

The Highlights


Beyond - Manage Employee Taxes

The ability to manage employee taxes has been added to Beyond. This includes the ability to add/edit jurisdictions, taxability statuses, amounts, and more.

*Note* For more information on this functionality, please see the article titled Beyond - How to Manage Employee Taxes.
