New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

The following new features have been introduced in the V16.0 release of FinancialForce Human
Capital Management (HCM).

Scheduling and Shift Management

Scheduling Features
HCM Scheduling and Shift Management enables you to produce schedules for your workers
based on custom shift patterns.
Schedules enable you to apply shifts to a selected group of workers over a specified period.
Once configured, you can use HCM to:
n

Create as many shifts, shift patterns and schedules as you need

Add shift patterns to schedules and specify their order

Assign workers to schedules by position, job or location

Specify the time zone for each schedule and its associated workers

Define the first day of the week for shift patterns to support business processes

Clone schedules

View your own schedules or schedules for groups of workers

Create one-off shift additions for individual workers

Specify how you want HCM to display absences on schedules

We have added a new permission set, HCM - Scheduler, to provide access to view and manage
schedules. See the Online Help for full details of the scheduling objects included in this release.
You can use the Manage Schedule page to help you organize groups of workers into schedules
and assign shift patterns to them.

Confidential

Page 6 of 36

New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

You can easily create shifts using drag-and-drop functionality on the Manage Shift Pattern page.

When a schedule is applied, shift workers can view their own shifts and absences from the My
Schedule page.

Confidential

Page 7 of 36

New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

Schedulers can view worker availability from the Schedule Overview and create one-off shifts, as
required.

Absence Management Integration

HCM Absence Management also includes new features to enable you to request time off for
specific shifts.

Confidential

Page 8 of 36

New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

There are two new fields on the Absence Request object to provide extra information when
requesting time off for shift workers.
Field

Description

Shift

Shift information for the selected day, such as name, start time and end time.

Shift

absence, either "First Half" or "Second Half".

There is also a new checkbox on the HolidayCalendar object.

Field

Description

Allow Shift
Workers to
Request Off

Indicates that you want shift workers to be able to request time off for
this date. For half day holidays, HCM displays the date as a normal
working day.
If deselected, shift workers cannot select this date when creating an
absence request.

Customizing Scheduling
You can customize some of the scheduling features using Core HRSettings and Scheduling
Settings.
Core HR Settings

Payroll Connect
Payroll Change Reports
You can now use payroll change reports to review the information exported from HCM for a
particular pay calendar. Each change report describes changes made in the selected pay
calendar and enables you to compare the new values with previous values.
You can view change information for:
n

Benefits deductions

Demographics

Payable time

HCM generates change report information each time you create a payroll export. Change reports
are displayed in a related list on the pay calendar record, grouped by type.

You can compare current and previous values for the selected type by clicking the payroll change
report ID.

We have added two new custom settings to help you manage the batch process that generates
payroll change reports:
n

New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

Payroll Interface Definition Groups

You can now group payroll interface definition records. If your organization regularly exports
multiple payroll interface definitions for the same pay group and pay calendar, grouping payroll
interface definitions speeds up the payroll export process.
See "Creating a Payroll Interface Definition Group" in the Online Help for more information.

Pay Calendar
We have added a new Payroll Status field to the Pay Calendar object to enable you to record and
track the progress of payroll exports for a particular pay calendar.
When you have completed a payroll export, you can select a status of "Complete" on the pay
calendar to remove it from the list of pay calendars on the Payroll Export page.
By default, the Payroll Status field is not visible on the pay calendar.

Performance
Sharing
If your organization is configured to share performance reviews with managers, HCM now shares
the performance review with the worker specified in the review and all managers in the reporting
line above them. This includes any records that are linked to a performance review or are created
as part of a performance review.
To ensure that all existing records associated with a performance review are shared correctly,
select Share Performance with Manager in Core HRSettings and run the Recalculate Worker
Sharing Groups and Rules job from the HCMSystem Maintenance page.
In addition to this, the Share Objectives with Manager field in Core HR Settings has been
deprecated.

Employee Acknowledgment
You can now configure performance reviews to include an employee acknowledgment stage
using the new Enable Employee Sign-Off checkbox on the Performance Type object. When
selected, this enables the employee to add final comments to their performance review and
acknowledge that the review has taken place. When the employee signs off the review, HCM
updates the review status to "Employee Sign-Off Complete".

Confidential

New Features and Enhancements (16.0)

User Interface Improvements

We have improved the Performance Review pages in HCM to make them easier to use.

The buttons in the Performance Detail section at the top of the page are now also displayed in the
Performance Summary section so you can quickly complete the performance review.
We have added larger text boxes to make it easier to view and edit comments in each section of
the performance review. Also, each section of the review is now collapsible to help you navigate
to the relevant section.

Average Rating Scores

You can now add the following average rating scores to the performance review header:
n

Translation
You can use the Translation Workbench from Salesforce.com to relabel text displayed on the
performance review pages. See the Salesforce Help for more information.

Form W-4
We have updated the Form W-4 to use the 2016 details specified by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). US employers use the Form W-4 to determine the correct amount of federal income tax to
withhold from a worker's pay.

Benefits Transmissions
We have made a number of changes to improve the benefits transmissions process.

Dependent Beneficiary Enrollment Fields

The following fields on the Dependent Beneficiary Enrollment object enable you to transmit
additional details to eBenefits Network (eBN).

Permission Set Improvements

We have relabeled all HCM permission sets to make them easier to identify. For example, the
Vana Employee permission set is now called HCM-Employee. The API names remain the same.
We have also added a new permission set, HCM-Scheduler, to grant access to view and
manage schedules.
See "Controlling Access" in the Online Help for more information.
If your organization has an external careers site set up with the Create Contact from Candidate
checkbox selected in Core HR Settings, we recommend that you:
1. Clone the HCM-Candidate Guest permission set.
2. Update the new permission set to include Read access to the Contacts object.
3. Use the new permission set to control access to the external careers site.
See "Setting up the External Careers Site" in the Online Help for more information.

HCM creates an absence entitlement detail record

on the carry over expiry date for the related
absence type. We have added a new Ignore
Accrual Date field to the Absence Entitlement
Detail object to indicate that an absence entitlement
detail record created on the carry over date does
not affect the last accrual date on the related
absence entitlement record. When HCM creates an
absence entitlement detail record on the carry over
expiry date, Ignore Accrual Date is selected by
default.
You can correct any absence entitlement detail
records that are incorrectly affecting the last accrual
date on absence entitlement records. To do this,
select Ignore Accrual Date on the latest absence
entitlement detail records created on the carry over
date.

Enabling Apex Classes and Visualforce Pages on HCM Permission Sets

Enabling Apex Classes and Visualforce Pages on

HCM Permission Sets
When you have installed an upgrade to FinancialForce Human Capital Management you must
enable access to any new Apex classes and Visualforce pages included in the upgrade package.
If you miss this step your users will be excluded from important parts of the application.
You must be signed in as System Administrator to complete this task.
To enable Apex Class Access on an HCM permission set:
1. From Setup, click Manage Users | Permission Sets.
2. Click an HCM permission set label.
3. In the Apps section, click Apex Class Access.
4. Click Edit.
5. Select any Apex classes with a prefix of VanaHCM in the Available Apex Classes list (on the
left) and click the Add button to move them to the Enabled Apex Classes list (on the right).
6. Click Save.
7. On the same permission set, click Visualforce Page Access.
8. Click Edit.
9. Select any Apex classes with a prefix of VanaHCM in the Available Visualforce Pages list (on
the left) and click the Add button to move them to the Enabled Visualforce Pages list (on the
right).
10. Click Save.
11. Repeat the process for all other HCM permission sets.
Note:
In some circumstances, the enabling of Apex Classes and Visualforce pages must be done at
