Enhancements & Features

Tolerances for clocking in and out- Mobile App
Pre Requisites 

To use this feature Google Maps must be Turned On – pleases see this guide Integrating Maps for Rostering Travel Time and Distance for more information 

Tolerance Rules for where the Mobile App user can Start and End a Visit can now be configured and will show in the Mobile App. 

The rules for this can be created in Settings > Care Provider Setup > Mobile Staff Rules. 

The following Rules can be added per Start and End of Visit: 

  • No Check – no check is done and the user will not be impacted regardless of their GPS Location and Online/Offline status 
  • Warn and Reason – a check is done but the user can continue the visit if they provide a reason (the options for the reason can be controlled in the “Tolerance Failure Reasons (Location Distance)” reference table 
  • Warn – the user is Warned that they are outside the allowed distance and that this will be recorded but they do not need to give a reason  

The checks work by taking the GPS Location at the point the user clicks “Start Visit”. This, along with the address coordinators of the booking visit destination are sent to the Google Maps API. This returns a distance between the two points and validates it against the value set in the above rule.  

If the user is Offline the Google Maps API cannot be used and so the user is asked to go online or specify a reason for not going online and that this will be recorded - they can then start the visit. 

If the user has GPS off on their phone they are asked to turn it on or to a provide a reason for not doing so and that this will be recorded – they can then start the visit.  

Mobile App - Ad-Hoc Care within Bookings 

Ad-Hoc Care in the Mobile App has been extended to include all types of Care Records. 

Mobile App – Planned Detailed Care Records within Bookings 

The Care and Tasks to be done shown in the Mobile App are determined from the Care Plan > Regular Care tab. If these tasks are linked to a business object they will now show as detailed Care Records to be recorded rather than as a tick box. 

If you would prefer to continue to use tick boxes please change any Regular Care items that currently linked to business object to be linked to ones which do not. This can be done in the Task Reference Data: 

Mobile App - Offer Bookings

Offered Bookings now show more address details of the destinations of the booking 

Split hours billed on bookings

Bookings with multiple People assigned can now have a different number of hours assign to each Person, which will impact the Financial Transactions proportions made for these.  

When these bookings are added there is an option to Choose “Even Spilt” or “Specify Individual Hours”. If “Specify Individual Hours” is selected, then the following screen is show to allocate the hours: 

There is validation to prompt the user to update the “Person Hours Allocation” is the “Unallocated” is less than 100%. 

The “Person Hours Spilt” can be defaulted per booking type to “Even Spilt” or “Specify Individual Hours” in the Booking Type configuration.

Commissioned Hours total

The Commissioned Hours Booked Totals will be update according to the spilt per Person described above.

National Minimum Wage Top Ups 

National Minimum Wage top ups can be calculated by the system and added to Payroll Batches for Employees.  

To turn this on set the ‘Payroll National Minimum Wage’ System Setting to ‘True’.  

There is also an option to set different Minimum Wage levels per Employee Role, to do this set the “Payroll National Minimum Wage By Role” System Setting to ‘True’. 

The rates to be applied must be configured before this feature will work. They can be found in Settings> Config > Finance Admin > Care Provider Payroll > NMW Setup. Different rates can be set per Age Group and per Date Range (and optionally per Role as stated before). Validations are in place to prevent overlapping rates. 

Once this is done then the National Minimum Wage top ups tab will be populated on Payroll Batches and these records will be included in the Pay Extracts.  

“Sleep” and “On Call” bookings should be excluded from the calculation, to do this set the relevant Booking Types to “Is An On Call Booking” = ‘Yes’ or “Is Sleeping” to ‘Yes’ 

Service Finance Codes 

Services can now have Finance Codes assigned to them individually. 

“Service” has been added to “Finance Code Locations” (used in Settings > Configuration > Finance Admin > Person Contracts > Finance Codes ) 

“Finance Code” (look up to Finance Codes ref data) has been added to “Services” ( Settings > Configuration > Finance Admin > Person Contracts > Services).  

Parent Establishment Contract Scheme 

When creating a Person Contract, a Contract Scheme is selected. This scheme can now be linked to the Person Contract’s establishment, or to a parent of that establishment. 

Mail Merge for Multi Selected Fields 

Multi Selected Fields can now be used in Mail Merges – this incudes 'Role of Plan Agreed By' for Risk Plans where the issue was reported.  

Defects Resolved

ACC-13759 – Resolved an issue where if bookings were back-to-back with no gaps the ‘commuting from milage’ was being calculated and applied to many bookings instead of the final one (this was also released in a minor release)
