Software Release Notice 35
August 2004
Introduction
The following amendments have been made in the UNIX version of the Paydata System.
The update can be installed immediately and must be installed at the same time as the Accountsdata SRN20 update.
Content
Accountsdata Link
Due to the changes in Accountsdata Day-book numbering, amendments have been required in the Payroll run, specifically, where the wages analysis updates the Nominal Ledger.
Hourly Rates
To accommodate links from Machinery Ring based labour systems, the number of hourly rates available in individual employee records has been extended, provision has been made for 10 rates. However, as this is likely excessive for most employers, a new parameter is available in General Parameters, “Number of Hourly Rates”. As a result of this update, this value will be set at 3. It can be any value from 3 to 10 inclusive. We do not recommend you set it higher than you actually need as various printouts will re-size to accommodate the number of rates selected.
The number of pages in an Employee Record has increased by 1. The old page 2 has split to accommodate the potential extra hourly rates.
The entry part of the Payroll Run has been changed to accept the maximum of 10 rates.

FARMdata Limited assume no responsibility or liability for:
Users failure to implement the update for any reason.
The results of any errors occurring during the update, not notified immediately to ourselves.

Users failure to keep adequate numbers of complete backup sets should, for whatever reason at whatever time, it prove necessary to resort to restoring a backup. Any work required on the part of FARMdata to “rescue” data etc, is chargeable under these circumstance.
