Changelog

​

Convert vendors to contractors

• Deciding when to add a contractor vs. a vendor
• How to convert a vendor to a contractor

​

Other improvements and fixes

• When a US employee is added before US payroll has been enabled for your organization, the onboarding for the employee will be paused until it has been enabled
• When compensation is set for international employees, it will now always default to the local currency. Some countries were defaulting incorrectly to USD.
• We fixed a defect related to work location changes for US employees, in which some changes did not get applied to payroll immediately

​

Improvements and fixes

• You can now filter by employment type (employee or contractor) in the Payroll Journal report.
• We fixed an issue concerning approved expense reports attached to payroll. If a person was removed from payroll before the pay period was processed, the expense would remain in an unprocessed state without the ability to take action. Now when this happens, the expense is detached from payroll so it can be paid or “Marked as paid” as appropriate.
• An issue that prevented custom contractor contracts from loading in the new HRIS experience has been resolved.
• We fixed an issue that caused some team members to remain on payroll after they were terminated.

​

Team members grouped by worker type in payroll summaries

​

Other improvements and fixes

• The term “Salary” has been replaced with “Regular earnings” throughout the platform
• Some customers that migrated to the new payroll experience were affected by incorrect payroll calculations. We corrected a defect that caused old compensation amounts to be applied to new payroll items.

​

For customers who migrated to the latest HRIS

• Unfiled Form 1099-NECs are no longer displayed on a contractor’s or vendor’s profiles
• When a compensation change is made for a date when a compensation record already exists, the change will overwrite the existing value. Previously, multiple compensation records were created for the same date, which created unnecessary records when corrections were made.

​

Improvements when editing approved payroll items

• Changes are applied with a new “Save changes and approve” button
• You can reverse approvals using the “Cancel approval” action on a single payroll item or a selected group

​

Other improvements and fixes

• Changes to the residential address of a US employee designated as “Work from home” are automatically synced to their work location
• We fixed an issue with the display of termination dates in contractor contracts. If a termination date is provided, it will now display again in the contract.

​

Usability and performance improvements to contractor payments

• The Pay contractors page now displays a maximum of 30 contractors per page to speed up page loading
• When the number of payments in a single batch exceeds 50, additional processing time is required. After authorizing the payments, you’ll be taken to a waiting page while the payments get set up. Upon completion, you’ll be taken to the Charges page.
• When the number of payments falls below this threshold, you’ll be taken to the Charges page immediately after authorizing the payments

​

Other improvements and fixes

• We made additional improvements to the Payroll Journal report. Funds debited, Net pay, and Reimbursements total were added to the report. We also added a filter for Pay date and made formatting enhancements.
• When an admin views an unsigned contractor contract, the business entity associated with the contractor will always be displayed in the contract preview when applicable
• We resolved an issue affecting the addition of Venezuelan bank accounts

​

Paid payroll for international employees displays in Run payroll

​

Other improvements and fixes

• The Payments report now includes a column to display all approvers of the associated payment request
• A new, blocking payroll issue is created when a company is “not in good standing” and is displayed in the blockers and issues list
• We fixed an issue where void payroll was displaying incorrectly on the Run payroll page. Void payroll was never intended to be displayed here, but it remains available in Payroll history
• We fixed an issue for US payroll where the funds debited calculation was incorrect for taxes that are not directly remitted by Plane. Taxes that need to be remitted by customers (e.g., NY SDI and NY PFL) are calculated and displayed on payroll statements and reports but are not included in funds debited.

​

More detail in Payments report

​

Other improvements and fixes

• The Payroll Journal report now includes a column for Funds debited
• We fixed an issue to restore payroll proration for new hires based on their start date. Unprocessed payrolls were also corrected
• We fixed an issue where the wrong currency was displayed in the “Payroll started processing” email notification

​

Time Off report

​

Migrations to Unified Payroll

​

Other improvements and fixes

• Expense reports that are approved before a person is added to payroll are now attached to payroll if they haven’t already been paid or scheduled for payment
• We fixed an issue for US employees that was causing duplicate Form W-4s to appear on their profiles
• We made a fix for hourly employees to properly clear taxes in payroll previews when hours are reset to zero
• Time off is now correctly sorted in reverse chronological order
• Users whose Plane accounts are locked after five failed login attempts now see a message on the login page and receive an email with instructions on how to unlock their account
