R&R Product Update, May 5, 2022

Twice a month, we publish an update on interesting developments and improvements in our WFM system , R&R. This issue covers, among other things, time tracking in the R&R Job App in combination with R&R Time 4, the vacation overview, the DATEV payroll export, and quality-of-life improvements. 

Bug Fixes and Quality-of-Life Improvements

Over the past few weeks, our teams have been busy fixing bugs and making (minor) quality-of-life improvements. These changes are all aimed at making your daily interaction with R&R even smoother. Among other things, we’ve made the following changes:

• On the “Holidays” tab of the payroll report, the scroll bar was not always visible, which is really important for large departments (or on small screens). This issue has been resolved and no longer causes problems with payroll, for example, on Ascension Day or Pentecost Sunday.
• The buttons for clocking in and out via the R&R Job app have been enlarged, making it less likely that users will accidentally press the wrong ones.
• Changes to the average expenditures in the forecast were not always saved; this issue has now been resolved.
• Notifications that an employee has changed their availability were displaying the wrong date in the Cockpit; from now on, the correct date will be displayed. (Notifications created before April 28 will still show the wrong date.)
• You can now click on the entire task in the cockpit, rather than just the text.
• The vacation card did not always correctly indicate the estimated number of vacation days when employees were entitled to additional vacation based on their years of service or age. From now on, this will be taken into account correctly.
• If the manager changes the availability, the employee will see a notification in the R&R Job App.
• In R&R Insights, deals whose status is still uncertain are now displayed by default at the bottom or top of the table, making it easy to view them.
• R&R Insights no longer displays a message about missing forecasts from the past. This makes the current revenue clearly visible, even if the forecast has not yet been finalized.

The new R&R Job App is live!

Our new job app is live! The R&R Job App has been updated with several bug fixes and usability improvements. Some employees using Android phones have experienced issues logging in. This can be easily resolved by updating the “Google Play Services” app to the latest version.

Time Tracking in the R&R Job App in Combination with R&R Time 4

Effective immediately, time tracking via the R&R Job App (“Clocking In via the App”) can be combined with a physical time tracking system* in a store. This feature allows you to test time tracking via the app without having to switch the entire workforce over to time tracking via the R&R Job App. 

Since time tracking via the R&R Job App only supports productive clocking, this feature is only applicable in stores that use productive clocking (clocking in, clocking out, and break clocking). We expect to offer department-based time tracking via the R&R Job App later this year.

*Currently, we only support R&R Time 4 systems supplied by R&R. R&R Time 3 and other systems will be supported soon.

Vacation Overview

The development team has begun working on the vacation overview. This overview allows users to review vacation requests in a single view. The overview is expected to be released this quarter.

Export DATEV Payroll Accounting

In recent years, we have added export options for many Dutch payroll systems. We have now reached the stage where the first German payroll export is currently under development. We expect to provide an update on this topic in the near future.
