      25th June 2025 Release Notes

      (i151.5)

      New Features and Changes

       

      1. Line Manager Permissions Personnel Search 

      When a user with line manager only permissions to Personnel Manager uses the search function in Personnel Manager, only staff members that they line manage will be returned. Users with full access to view and create Personnel Records, but line manager access to certain areas within them will still see all Personnel Records when searching, but access within each record will be limited based on individual area permissions. 

       

      2. Improvements to report [180]: Indemnity Expiry

      Report [180]: Indemnity Expiry now brings back all expiring or expired indemnity records for each staff member within the date range selected when running the report.

       

      3. People+ - Setting to Assign a Role Group and Pay Rate Pattern to a Post 

      Role Groups and Pay Rate Patterns can now be assigned to a single Post. When the setting for this is enabled, shifts and adjustments are valued using the Pay Rate Pattern in the finance record instead of the Role Group. To enable this setting, please contact RotaMaster Support.
