CAPPS HR/Payroll Changes

  • Ensure the fiscal year row on the Job page remains accurate by preventing the fiscal year edit from appearing when a user edits or deletes a row entered after the fiscal year row, helping ensure correct reclassification and salary schedule alignment for employees. (SR-64451)
  • Update veteran medical health leave (VMHL) processing to allow TL super users to award VMHL hours at any time for mid-month new hires by ensuring the related edits fire correctly during the employee’s first week of employment, so appropriate balances can be added for all eligible employees. (SR-73512)
  • Update SPRS processing to ensure data remains synchronized by sending the current CAPPS name/address information to SPRS whenever the maximum effective-dated row is deleted from the Name/Address page. (SR-73972)
  • Apply payroll fixes related to requirements of the Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025 and resolve outstanding payroll exceptions to ensure accurate and compliant processing. (SR-74811)
  • Generate a new report for core position control users that includes position create dates, enabling them to access this information for internal use. (SR-75002)
  • Grant the HR Reports permission list access to the Monthly Longevity Report, enabling core HR users with reporting permissions to run the report and review employee longevity information. (SR-75004)
  • Update the TX_EP_AGY_EMPL_EVAL_DOC_STATUS and TX_EP_AGY_EMPL_EVAL_JOB_DESCR queries to ensure each data row is distinct and non-duplicated by adding the HR Status field to both reports. (SR-75177)
  • Align the MSS ePM Report (TXEPDOCSTATS) and the Document Status by Manager query (TX_EP_DOC_STATS_BY_MGR) by standardizing the first 15 column headers and data outputs so the query replicates the manager-facing report and supports agency administrators in resolving questions or data issues. (SR-75885)
  • Update SPECT processing so that special leave negative balance edits trigger based solely on the balance as of the DUR date—without considering future-dated hours—ensuring the appropriate warning message is displayed. (SR-76160)
