Enhancements
Introducing Overtime and TOIL Adjustment Feature:
We've introduced a new feature that lets Supervisors adjust employees' Extra Hours by either converting them into Absent Hours, moving them to Overtime, or transferring them into Leave Balances known as Transfer Overtime Into leave (TOIL). This feature offers two adjustment options. First, users can align extra hours with absent hours using the setup in the 'Time Slot' screen. Second, any remaining extra hours, after adjusting for absent hours, can be converted into TOIL leave balances or used for overtime as per the defined setups in the relevant screens of 'Leave Location Grade Setup' and 'Time Slot'. This feature will work only when the "Adjustment" of "Extra Hours" functionality will be enabled. This allows users to make the most of these hours during leaves or overtime. To support these functionalities, several parameters have been added to the 'System Default' screen.
SET_S005 - System Default: A new parameter, 'IS_TOIL_OT_ATTADJ_APPLICABLE,' has been added to enable or disable the adjustment of extra hours into Overtime and TOIL.
SET_S005 - System Default: Another parameter, 'TOIL_LEAVE_TYPE_ID,' allows users to associate a specific leave ID to act as TOIL leave.
SET_S005 - System Default: 'GENRT_SUGG_AUTO' has been introduced, enabling users to 'Auto Generate' or 'Manually Generate' Overtime suggestion details in the 'Generate Overtime Suggestion' screen by defining 'Y' or 'N.'
SET_S005 - System Default: 'GENRT_SUGG_DAY_DIFF_WRT' is a new parameter allowing users to set a default date for generating overtime suggestions in the 'Generate Overtime Suggestion' screen.
SET_S005 - System Default: 'TOM_OT_SCREEN' provides the option to set a default sub-screen in the 'Overtime Approval' screen.
Additionally, other features supporting the adjustment of extra hours into Overtime and TOIL have been added to various screens.
TOM_S010 - Attendance Adjustment: A new column, 'Is Adjustable,' has been included in this screen, indicating which user records are eligible for adjustable calculations.
TOM_S003 - Time Slot: A new setting panel for 'Extra Hours Adjustment' has been added, where the adjustment of absent hours is calculated based on the defined settings.

TOM_S029 - Overtime Approval: A new sub-screen, 'Show Employee Required Overtime Approval,' with radio button functionality has been added. It displays information about Overtime and TOIL for employees in different states (Pending, Approved, Reject). The sub-screen includes a checkbox for 'Show Adjustment Detail' to display comprehensive adjustment information.
TOM_S036 - Monthly Time Sheet Approval: Several new columns, including Previous Toil Balances, Extra Hours (Single Value), Absent Hours Adj. From Extra Hours, Approved Toil, and Current Toil Balance, have been added to provide complete information on this screen.
HRS_S033 - Leave Balance: In the screen, three different columns Trans NO., Entry Type have been added in the screen to display the complete flow of TOIL balances and history
TOM_R016 - Individual Time Sheet (Advanced): This screen now includes various columns such as Present Hours (Adjusted), Absent Adjustment, Extra Hours, Appr. OT Hours, and Approved Toil. These additions enhance the report by providing a detailed breakdown of calculations and balances related to adjustment details.
TOM_S031 - TOM Payroll Integration Setup: Two new fields 'Adjusted Hours from toil' and 'Adjusted hours from extra hours' have been added in the screen. So on running the Payroll process, the correct impact will be observed.
In summary, our latest release introduces a powerful feature allowing supervisors to efficiently manage employees' extra hours by converting them into absent hours, overtime, or transferring them into TOIL leave balances.
