New Version of PlainStaff
|
On November 18, 2024, version 5.4.1 of PlainStaff will be released, which fixes a bug in the calculation of net working time. This only affects time tracking, not all customers, and only
some employees. You can tell if your PlainStaff is affected if, from November 18, 2024, the new parameter
"New break algorithm" can be found in your time tracking settings: |
|
|
This new parameter is pre-filled by us with 01.01.2030, which means that nothing changes for your employees initially. With this setting, the old algorithm will continue to be used unchanged until
December 31, 2029.

Recommended procedure
|
If your PlainStaff is affected by the error in the calculation of
mandatory breaks, this can lead to a change in net working time. This only affects certain constellations of working and break times
and thus in some cases leads to a change in the balance of the time account. This change - if present - is usually in the minute range.
There are basically two ways to deal with the error:
- You switch the algorithm on a key date (e.g., 01.11.2024) and keep the incorrect calculation of mandatory breaks unchanged until this key date.
- You inform the affected employees about the change in the time account and then set the date for the new algorithm to the start date of your PlainStaff.
This means that the new algorithm will always be used for all employees. The changes this means for the time accounts can be displayed in advance in the employee overview using the
eye button as additional columns:
