​

Other improvements and fixes

​

Vendor management

• When you add a vendor, you don’t need to add a country or currency, because they are automatically pulled from their business address and bank account
• You can more easily edit vendor information such as their legal business name and contact details
• The actions in the right sidebar of vendor profiles have been reworked to make them easier to understand

​

Accounting automation

• First-time users now see information in the app on how to get started. When an app is not connected or when chart of account mappings have not been defined, users will see banners pointing them to the right setup pages.
• You can now make bulk edits for chart of account mappings, which means you can save a lot of time in the setup process
• We added visual progress indicators on the mappings page to show users how much of the setup process they have completed
• Check out our new help article: Setting up accounting automation

Improved compensation history

​

Other improvements and fixes

• Compensation changes will never override manual payroll adjustments to regular earnings. When applicable, admins now see a message telling them which manually edited pay periods won’t be affected by a compensation change.
• A person’s initial compensation is always aligned to their start date in the platform. If their start date changes, their initial compensation also shifts to the new start date.
• We restored the ability for admins to change the approval setting (manual or auto) on pay schedules
• The Run payroll page loads faster
• We fixed a defect that created duplicate payroll items for some people
• We resolved the issues causing an error when viewing Payroll history for international employees

Shortcut to open additional Plane company accounts

​

Other improvements and fixes

​

Unified Payroll migration completed

• Pay dates account for bank holidays in different countries and are adjusted to avoid delays related to the holidays
• Payroll charges for contractors are always made four business days before the pay date, to help make cash flow more predictable
• You can continue to make changes to payroll until the approval deadline
• You can view payroll items collectively by pay period, pay date, and country

​

Other notes on Unified Payroll

• The old experience will be retired and will not be visible after the final recurring payments are paid
• Vendors are not supported in the Unified Payroll experience, but you can convert them to contractors if you wish to add them to payroll. Check out our help article for more details.
