2.85.1

Hotfix:

• VMS Managers are now receiving email notifications when a Hiring Manager requests for a candidate interview.

2.85.0

What’s New:

• When a worker receives a pay rate update, as soon as the worker acknowledges their pay update, all Account Managers assigned to the company will now see a “Pay Rate Adjustments” saved view on their Engagements page and a task in SN.
• The completion of talent profile is important in maintaining the quality of Talent Pool in SN. We’ve added a progress indicator to guide and encourage talent to complete their profile!
• Users can now bulk update engagements from different import sources. On the Bulk Update Engagement Details form, if the selected engagements are from different import sources, all the fields that can be bulk updated for those engagements will be displayed at the top. The fields that cannot be bulk updated together will be grayed out at the bottom.
• A worker has the “right to be forgotten.” When an inactive worker requests to have their personal information deleted in SN, we now have a deactivation feature (exclusive to Super Users only) to remove worker personal data.
• We’ve updated the rate for ACA benefits from $18 to $17. Workers earning $17 or less per hour will see the “2021 Benefits Brochure – ACA Package” on their dashboard under the Engagements page.
• A company requested for the Classification and Source fields to be hidden when creating a tracked worker in SN. When pushing the tracked worker engagement info from SN to Workday for this company, the Classification value will default to “SOW” and the Source value will default to “Tracked-Internal.”

Fixes:

• Vendor users can now retract and resubmit their candidates with a new pay rate. The new pay rate will be reflected on the candidate dashboard.
• If the worksite is Remote, the Remote State is a required field. Offers can no longer be sent if the Remote State is missing for remote engagements. The bulk import Onboarded Workers template will also require a Remote State if the worksite is Remote.
• Offers sent through the bulk import feature were missing a value for the Type column on the Engagements page. This has been fixed. If engagements are from the bulk import Onboarded Workers feature, the Type will automatically be Payrolled.
• When sending a payrolled offer from a VMS order, users can now enter a Pay Rate and successfully send the offer.
• When updating an engagement, regardless of what’s been updated, the Remote State/Remote City/Remote County were nullified. This has been resolved. Moving forward, when updating an engagement with values unrelated to worksite, remote information will no longer be affected or show on the activity feed.
• When updating a worker’s pay rate on the Pay Rate Adjustment form, the new offer will be sent to the worker for review and acknowledgment only after the user selects Send Offer and clicks the “Ok” blue confirmation button.
• We’ve made the following fixes on the Order Details page:
  • When searching for certain talents, users faced an error message. We’ve resolved those edge cases
  • We’ve updated a notification message when an offer is retracted. The word “Offer” was previously missing
  • Hiring Managers can no longer click on a worker’s action item
  • Users will no longer be allowed to add talent to closed orders
  • A talent who has already been Suggested by the system cannot be submitted to the order
  • Order details are now aligned evenly with spaces
  • We’ve updated the wording of “Sourced Date” on the candidate details section
• All company custom fields are now showing for VMS orders on the Order Details section.
• Tracked worker engagements in Engagement Ended status can now be approved.
• We’ve removed the Additional Notifications on the Order Dashboard for vendor users. Only internal users and client company users have access to Additional Notifications information.
• The Update Candidate form is once again working. Vendor users can now update their candidate’s information.
• Company users were able to see a worker’s benefits brochure on the engagement pusher, but they received an error when they clicked on it. Company users should not have access to a worker’s benefits brochure. Moving forward, they will no longer see the brochure on the engagement pusher.
• If “Option to End Engagement Automatically” setting is Yes for a company, when bulk updating Anticipated End Date for that company, the End Date will now also get updated with it.
• We’ve updated the Form W4 instructions during worker onboarding to reflect the correct years.
• The correct text will now show on the first paragraph of the offer letter based on the company’s prescreen settings and prescreen items.
• On the Company Dashboard page, clicking on a talent’s name from Latest Hires widget opened up the old worker pusher. This has been resolved. When users click on a talent from the widget, the system will now display the new talent pusher.
• On the Must Haves section of the candidate dashboard, the thumbs down icon is once again red, neutral icon is yellow and thumbs up icon is green. Any vendor comments will show below the must have.

• You can now enable engagement extension approval for a company in SN.
• TargetCW recruiters will now have System Admin access (in addition to their Recruiter access). They can easily switch between their 2 roles by clicking “Switch Role.”
• We’ve updated the SN export file for VMS workers.
• A job description’s Pay Type can no longer be edited because that job description is tied to existing orders and engagements. If a job description’s Pay Type needs to be updated, a new job description will have to be created to reflect the new Pay Type for future orders and engagements.
• We’ve made enhancements to the talent pusher.

1. 1. We’ve brought back the verified check for SN engagements on the talent pusher. Internal users will see the check mark for all engagements in SN. Company and vendor users will only see the check mark for engagements from their own company.
   2. We’ve enhanced the default company icon to a colorful one.
   3. We’ve removed the “Engagement Ended” label for past engagements on the talent pusher for all users.

• Since “Base + Commission” pay rates are always displayed as weekly amounts regardless of company pay frequency, we’ve updated the offer letter to state “a weekly amount of” before the pay rate to eliminate any confusion.

Fixes:

• All talent titles from previous and current work experiences are showing once again on the Talent page.
• Job descriptions with “Commission Only” pay type can now be approved.
• We’ve added additional validations when creating international VMS orders.
  When users create, edit or approve an order:
  – If the job description is International and the worksite is Onsite, only international locations can be selected
  – If the job description is US and the worksite is Onsite, only US locations can be selected
  – If the worksite is remote, all locations (whether international or US) can be selected

• Users are now able to edit all tracked engagements regardless of classification.
• Moving forward, when an existing worker receives another offer, goes through onboarding again and selects a different citizenship from their prior onboarding, their previous citizenship inputs (such as document type, document number, expiration date) will be cleared so the worker can enter their new citizenship information.
• For companies that have the Sterling integration enabled, when an offer is sent to a worker and background check is bypassed, the prescreen team will now receive the correct “Prescreen Opt-out requested for Worker” email notification from SN.
• If a Primary Contact is deactivated, we can now assign a new Primary Contact for that company.
• Some workers did not have an Electronic Consent Form in SN. We pulled a report of active workers who were missing a signed Electronic Consent Form and provided the list to our Operations team so we can retroactively send the form to those workers through another system.
• On the Create and Send form, if the worksite is Remote and a remote state is selected, the system is now checking the minimum wage based the remote state selected. If the remote state has additional remote county/city selection, minimum wage will be validated based on the remote county/city selected.
• A worker’s Anticipated End Date or End Date can no longer be set to a date prior to the Anticipated Start Date when sending/re-sending an offer, editing an engagement, adding a tracked worker, creating an order and ending an engagement. The system will display the error message once again.
• Bulk Update feature on the Engagements page is working again as long as the selected engagements have the same values for Company, Imported and Type.
• On the Edit Tracked Engagement form, the pay rate currency now matches the correct currency displayed on the engagement pusher based on the reporting location.
• The Order ID column is showing again if you select it as a column on the Engagements page.
• If a tracked worker approval process is set for a company, all tracked worker engagements for that company can now be approved regardless of classification and currency.
• Department, Reporting Location, Anticipated Start Date, Work Site, Onboarding Supervisor, Reports To and Timecard Approvers fields once again have asterisks on the Send Offer form to indicate they are required fields.
• For a company that has the Sterling integration enabled, if a worker engagement status updates to Completed but the worker still requires prescreen, the worker will now see the “Continue Background Check” link on their worker/talent dashboard to complete their prescreen.
• For a company with order approval turned on, when editing a worker’s engagement, the engagement activity feed was not showing the correct updates. This issue has been resolved, the activity feed now shows the correct engagement updates.
• Based on the feedback we’ve received from our SN User Acceptance Testing on collecting worker auto insurance policy, we’ve updated the field name to “Will the Worker drive a personal vehicle to perform job duties?” and we’ve added a tooltip for additional clarity.

2.83.0

What’s New:

• The new order details page is now live. We’ve combined the order’s information and candidates to streamline your workflow. You can now access the Order Dashboard, Job Description, Candidates, Approvals and Vendors all in one place.

2.82.0

Fixes:

• After a worker has acknowledged their pay update in SN, the “Notification of Pay Rate Change” document is once again showing on the engagement pusher and on the Engagements page of the talent profile under the Documents section.
• Vendor users can now resubmit candidates when the new bill rate is the maximum bill rate for the order.
• When adding additional Comments on any activity feed, the edit button is now working.
• When creating a tracked worker, users are now able to edit the Phone Country Code if the worker is not a U.S. worker.
• Multi-Company Admins now have the same permission as Company Admins and Hiring Managers to edit engagements in the system.
• When the VMS Manager or Vendor Admin/Recruiter who submitted the candidate leaves comments on the candidate dashboard, the Hiring Manager also receives an email notification about the candidate comments. If “VMS Manager must pre-approve all candidates” settings is turned on for a company, the Hiring Manager will only receive notifications after the candidate has been approved by the VMS Manager moving forward.
• If the Hiring Manager decides to put an order “On Hold” to give more time to review submitted candidates and prevent new candidates from being submitted, the VMS Manager and vendors are notified. Once the order status updates to “Closed” (candidate is officially hired), the VMS Manager and the vendors will now also receive an email to notify them.
• For Document Compliance, if a Document requires approval, the assigned approvers will now see the PDF when approving the uploaded worker doc.
• When creating a job description, the system will only present the approval processes that has an internal user as the last approver in the process moving forward to ensure the Comp Code and Rate Type fields are completed. Also, when sending an offer, the system will check if the Comp Code and Rate Type fields are completed. If they’re not, the system will display a message letting the user know before an offer is sent out.
• Prescreen items will no longer be duplicated on the engagement pusher when a candidate’s offer is retracted and resent.

2.81.1

Hotfix:

2.81.0

Fixes:

• VMS workers will no longer receive an Exception Error during onboarding.
• Editing a tracked engagement when the Worksite is Remote and the Remote Country is not United States should now work.
• Since salary exempt workers are subject to the same salary requirements regardless of how many hours they work in a week, SN will now ignore all salary exempt jobs when checking for minimum wage.

2.80.0

What’s New:

• We’ve updated our API routes to the Yii framework.
• All users now have a “Source” column on the Talent page! The Source column indicates which talent pool(s) the talent is a part of.
• Internal users have access to the ID column on the Talent page. SN is now displaying the user IDs that are exported to our HRIS software (instead of worker profile ID) so the IDs can be cross-referenced correctly between the two systems.

2.79.3

Hotfix:

• We performed our routine security testing and enhanced our software security to eliminate any system vulnerability.

2.79.2

Hotfix:

• We’ve added additional logic for minimum wage check in SN. If the City or County name has a duplicate, the system will now check if that City or County’s state is the same as the Reporting Location state to get the correct minimum wage value.

• Before we released the minimum wage validation feature mentioned above, we’ve updated the minimum wage file to ensure we have the latest version.
• If an engagement is remote and the Remote State is California, the system will now ask for the Remote City. We offer a different benefits package for workers in San Francisco. If the Remote City is “San Francisco,” the worker will see the San Francisco Benefits Brochure on their worker profile.
• We’ve enhanced the talent profile settings to be more streamlined and intuitive. We now have one place for a talent to update their talent profile and one place for a talent to change their password.
• When ending a worker engagement, the system now allows more characters on the “Final week’s total hours” field to accommodate exact hours and minutes. Users can enter up to 6 total characters (such as “123.45”).

2.69.0

StaffingNation would like to give a shout out to Steve for his tireless efforts in creating our release notes in the past. My name is Tim and I will be taking over creating StaffingNation’s release notes. This release is a great one! We have a ton of bug fixes and we are featuring our new Sterling integration! It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally here.

New Features

• Sterling Integration: Our wonderful pre-screening team has been ever working to keep up with all the work that comes their way. It’s time for some give back.
• In this release, we will be rolling out a phased approach for Sterling integration with StaffingNation. Several of the tasks that the pre-screening team does will happen with automated assistance. For the pre-screening team, this means less work setting up and communicating with Sterling. For everyone else, the main difference will be that the pre-screen status for employees and workers will be in real-time as soon as Sterling has updates. As this release is rather complicated, it will be rolled out over the next few weeks. Initially, we will simply load the framework and monitor the connections, and all companies will have the automated integration turned off. However, after the first week, we will begin to turn on companies to observe the process. We will continue to add additional companies until we are fully engaged.

Improved Functionality

• SN-1163: Company admins need more permission when it comes to the company they work for.
  • Company Admin can now add, update, delete, or assign permissions for locations and departments
  • The primary account manager and CRA will be notified of any changes made to the company’s locations and departments. Big brother is watching.
• SN-1308: The pay rate change process will now allow StaffingNation to increase pay changes even when the effective date, is in the same pay period as today’s date.

Resolved Bugs

• SN1307: When attempting bulk imports there was an error generated due to the custom date field not importing correctly from the template. This has been corrected for this, and future imports.
• SN-1301: Bill Rate has 5 issues that have been reported and fixed. Drum roll, please!
  • When selecting the VMS channel and then switching to a regular distribution channel the rate type did not change. This fix will allow the type to update automatically to the correct type.
  • Even if a VMS manager has approved a candidate if their salary is higher than the offer’s pay rate range it will not allow you to extend an offer. We have removed this block to allow for people over the pay range to be submitted but only if pre-approved by the VMS manager.
  • Fixed an issue where the message and proper approval process was failing when a rejected candidate is edited by a hiring manager and resubmitted with a higher bill rate than the set bill rate.
  • You will now see the Markup Rate, and Bill Rate properly displayed when creating payrolling orders for companies with non-standard VMS rates.
  • When vendors are submitting a candidate, they will now see that the max bill rate under the hourly bill rate matches the max bill rate on the order details.
• SN-1239: We had a few tickets come through where when users tried to update custom fields with predefined values, it would not save the changes. This has been corrected and customizable boxes should now be fully… Customizable.
• SN-1264: When utilizing quick search features, and expanding it by pressing show all, it surprisingly did NOT always live up to its name and left out some records. This has been corrected.
• SN-1292: The art of perfection is something to always pursue. In the order pusher, the Candidate section was out of alignment. Victor gave it a tune-up.
• SN-1060: Vendors’ permissions were allowing them to modify HM/CMA approved engagement offers which are not part of the original intention. This has been limited to read-only.
• SN-1317: Fixed a date issue that would occur when accessing custom date fields on the company administration layer.
