Accounting Module

 

Bank Reconciliation

 

maestro* > Accounting > Financial Management > Bank Reconciliation > Bank Reconciliation

 

217955

Improvement made so that the system processes transactions with codes "195", "399", "447", and "699", in addition to all the codes it already processes during reconciliation in BAI format.

 

Time Management Module

 

W/C - CSST Report

 

maestro* > Time Management > Project Time > Accounting > W/C - CSST Report

 

197603

Modification made to the multi-provincial CSST recognition so that an excess is no longer calculated when the annual maximum is not reached in a period where there are only hours for the linked employee.

Please note that this modification also applies to all CSST reporting options, including the W/C - CSST Recognition option.

 

Payroll Calculation

 

maestro* > Time Management > Payroll > Payroll > Payroll Calculation

 

216389

Modification made to the payroll calculation to correct the imbalance between the CCQ remittance account of the payroll entry and the CCQ employer’s monthly report.

 

CCQ Employer's Monthly Report

 

maestro* > Time Management > Payroll > Reports > CCQ Employer's Monthly Report

 

216400

Modification made to allow the generation of monthly reports for multiple committees simultaneously when they have identical RBQ and CCQ numbers, thereby generating a separate report for each combination of committees with the same numbers.

This modification also allows committees to be selected individually for the generation of monthly reports, provided that they have different RBQ and CCQ numbers.

It is also possible to generate reports in JSON format “without” having completed the Authorization Number field for the committee.

 

Define Unions CCQ

 

maestro* > Time Management > Maintenance > Payroll > Define Unions CCQ

 

216680

Improvement made to add the new method Weighted Regular Rate, which is used to determine the base hourly rate for calculating union dues.

This development is a client request, and it allows the rate for each hour worked by the employee to be taken into account, weighted according to the annex in which they worked. This ensures that if the employee has worked in different annexes with different rates, the union contribution can be calculated based on each applicable rate. This method calculates a weighted average hourly rate according to the number of hours worked at each rate.

For the contribution calculation, 2.5% of the base rate is deducted for each hour worked; the employer must also deduct $0.03 for each hour worked, every week.

The fields to be completed in the Define Unions CCQ option are:

  • Section A - Field B × Number of Hours: 0.03
  • Section B - Field G × Hourly Rate × Number of Hours: 0.025
  • Field Method to determine the hourly rate: Weighted Regular Rate

Here is an example of this new calculation method, if the employee, a site mechanic, worked 40 hours in the industrial sector, Annex N1, at a standard rate of $51.87, plus 1 hour in Annex B3 at a double rate of $96.75:

The weighted regular rate will be calculated as follows:

  • 40 h × $51.87 = $2,074.80
  • 1 h × $48.37 = $48.37
  • Total: 41 h worked, wages = $2,123.17
  • Weighted rate: 2,123.17 ÷ 41 = $51.7846

The contribution will be calculated as follows:

  • Section A

    • 0,03 × 40 = 1,2
    • 0,03 × 1 = 0,03
    • Total : 1,23 $
  • Section B: 0.025 × 51.7846 × 41 = $53.08
  • Total contribution: $54.31

Purchasing Module

 

Procurement Management (MRP 1)

 

maestro* > Purchasing > Purchasing > Procurement > Procurement Management (MRP 1)

 

US-67912

Modification made to add a Unit - Source column, which will allow selection of the unit to use.

US-67913

Modification made so that when selecting a site that is not master, and when the Inv-Proj. / Inv-Site Transfert / Specific Orders box is checked, the Specific Orders and Reservations / Project Transfers boxes are greyed out.

US-67914

Modification made to see the quantities awaiting transfer in the Procurement Analysis grid.

 

Interfaces

 

XML Interface

 

218933

Modification made to ensure the project is correctly displayed in the invoice of the Purchase Order Invoicing option when the invoice is created via the XML Interface.

 

Maestro*

 

Email Mailing

 

US-69799

Modification made to display the Send icon when the form is a "transfer slip". Additionally, the Send a Message option will always be available via the File menu for all forms.

 

 

Maestro*MOBILE Timesheets Interface

 

 

maestro*MOBILE > Timesheets

218202

Modification made to display, in the Hours Worked page (accessible by clicking the Consult Hours Worked button), the correct days according to the "monthly" or "bi-monthly" pay period originating from the Timesheets option.

218120

Modification made to allow more than one piece of equipment to be added during time entry.

Previously, it was not possible to add multiple pieces of equipment when entering a timesheet; the user would see only a single Equipment section. It is now possible to add more than one piece of equipment using the + Add Equipment button, which displays one or more additional Equipment sections.

In addition, it was not previously possible to enter the number of hours. The system would automatically use the employee’s number of hours. If the user wanted to modify the number of hours, they had to create the transaction, then modify the hours transaction for the piece of equipment and adjust the number of hours. Now, the number of hours can be modified directly in the Equipment section.

 

 

Maestro*MOBILE Other Tickets

 

 

maestro*MOBILE > Employee Profile

 

218042

Improvement made to add the Consult Hours Worked feature, which is visible in the Employee Profile.

The Consult Hours Worked feature allows the user to view all their hours worked for a given pay period, after selecting the start date of that period. This page also enables the signed-in user to approve their hours. All licence types (Standard, Employee, and Portal) benefit from this improvement.
