As part of our ongoing program of work to provide you with a modern look and feel in Remuneration, we are updating the Step Navigation Menu.

What will change?

1. The menu can be expanded or collapsed with the little arrow on the bottom right hand side of your menu.
2. Your company logo will display within the menu structure rather than in the top banner.
3. The workflow icons next to your steps will display to the left.
4. The background colour from your banner will be moved to the menu structure with your logo.

Next Steps:

1. Moving your Remuneration settings into the new menu structure
2. Tidy up of the top banner to provide a cleaner and simpler design

This exciting new feature is relevant to all our Pivot Remuneration customers who also have an ELMO site.

Once configured for your site, managers will have a single synchronised login through ELMO to Pivot Remuneration. Now they only need one set of login credentials to access both ELMO and Pivot Remuneration. 

How it works:

1. When you open your Remuneration Site, you will be directed to ELMO to login, and then returned seamlessly back to Remuneration.
2. If you're already logged into your ELMO site, when you open your Remuneration Site, you will already be logged in and ready to go.

Next Steps:

We are now working on adding Remuneration to the ELMO Menu. Once this work is completed, you will be able to navigate seamlessly to Remuneration directly from your ELMO Site.

If you're interested in getting ahead of the curve and migrating to a seamless ELMO synchronised login for Remuneration, please contact your project lead to discuss.

We have recently updated the Performance Rating Distribution Report for those clients using Appraisal as part of their Remuneration Process. 

The report has been standardised to bring together all of the best features from similar bespoke reports. Your existing report will still have the same great data, but you might notice the following improvements:

• Sorting in ascending or descending order
• Inclusion of all valid available ratings even when these ratings have not been selected, providing a more complete view of data
• Select grouping for report data

As usual, this report can be accessed via the Standard Reports step.

You have the option to mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) copied to your test site. We have now extended the PII masking to include employee image fields and child image fields because these fields have the potential to hold PII such as signatures or photos.

When you choose to mask data when completing a Copy Live to Test, any image associated with an employee or with a parent field will be replaced with a generic masked image in all locations in your test site.

See How to copy Live to Test in our Support Centre for more information.

This change will reduce the options and differentiate the steps to help you select the correct step when creating or editing a step commencement notification.

See How to set up automatic notifications/emails for further information.

This change will differentiate the steps when the same step name is available to multiple user roles. This will help you to select the correct step when editing help text.

Please see How do I add or edit help text for further information.

You have the option to mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) copied to your test site. This gives you the flexibility of having anonymous data in your test environment when you are using this for training or support purposes.

We have now extended the PII masking to include Position Title and Business Case text. 

When you choose to mask data when completing a Copy Live to Test, the following data will be masked in all locations in your test site:

• Username
• First Name
• Preferred Name
• Last Name
• Email Address
• Date of Birth
• Address lines 1-4
• Start Date
• Title (Mr, Mrs, Miss etc)
• Position Title
• Business Case text

In addition, personally identifiable information has been removed from import error messages.

Please note: Masking of Position Title will only apply to those clients using the standard Position Title field. Please contact your Project Lead if you would like to discuss migration from a custom field.

See How to copy Live to Test in our Support Centre for more information.

Clients with 'email letters' turned on may have recently noticed that the date of the last letter emailed was missing from the Print Letters Step.

We have fixed this small bug so the date now shows when a letter has been emailed to an employee.

See Rem Letters: How to set up and email/pdf letters in the Support Centre for more information.

When selecting files to upload in the Data Import step, files can be dragged & dropped into the data file field.

The 'Drop files here to upload' message only appeared intermittently during this process. We have now fixed this so you can see this message all the time.

Clients with a review split, but no midpoint split, will have noticed a 'select midpoint split' option appearing momentarily while the Set Midpoint step was loading. 

This bug has now been removed.
