We have released a set of improvements to the way pay policies and additional posts are managed. These changes resolve several long-standing issues with backpay calculations, policy uplifts, data integrity, pension links, and rollback restrictions.

Paycircle now correctly calculates backpay for additional posts, paying only the difference owed, preventing overpayments for employees.

Backpay for allowances is now calculated accurately, taking into account what has already been paid in previous periods.

When backdating a policy change, for example, a yearly pay uplift, Paycircle identifies which salary band the employee was on at the point in time the change applies, and pays the correct difference between the new uplift value and the old value at that band.

A number of scenarios could cause posts to disappear unexpectedly; these issues have been resolved.

Improvements have been made to the relationship between posts and pensions. Salary changes can no longer orphan pension records, and pension history is now preserved across the full lifecycle of posts — including when posts are joined, left, updated, or linked to a policy.

Rollbacks are now only blocked when an employee was actively paid on a policy during the period in question, or when a policy update was processed during that period. This gives you greater flexibility to correct errors without being unnecessarily restricted.
