Mobile App Enhancements
Payslip Summary Display Fix
We've resolved an issue where the payslip summary in the Access Evo Mobile App was displaying incorrect pay amounts before opening the full payslip.
What was happening?
Employees viewing their payslips in the mobile app would see an incorrect amount in the payslip summary screen (before opening the actual payslip). This was caused by the app using data from the Period Equivalent column in the system, which could contain null or zero values that shouldn't be displayed.
What's fixed?
The payslip summary logic has been updated to hide null or zero period equivalent values, ensuring only accurate pay amounts are displayed in the summary view. The full payslip details remain unaffected and continue to show complete information.
Benefits
Accurate pay amounts displayed at all times in mobile app
Reduced confusion when reviewing payslip summaries
Improved confidence in displayed financial information
Better user experience when accessing payslips on mobile devices
