What’s New
Holiday overbooking checks now consider the entitlement employees will have accrued by the date of their absence.
Employee Search is available in Evo Navigator for authorised HR users.
Contacts can be added, updated and deleted from Evo Navigator.
Security remediation across SelectHR Evo.
Bug fixes covering calendars, workspace invites, contacts, leave and task lists.
Holiday Overbooking for Accrual Rules
What was the challenge?
The overbooking check compared a requested absence with the balance available today, or with the full annual entitlement. For employees on an accrual-based Holiday Rule, this could block valid leave booked later in the year, while allowing an early request before enough leave had built up.
What’s changed?
Accrual-aware overbooking checks: For Holiday Rules where entitlement builds up over the holiday year, a request is now checked against the entitlement the employee will have accrued by the date of the absence.
Existing accrual method applied: The check uses the accrual method already set on the Holiday Rule (per day, week or month).
Requests beyond entitlement still flagged: Requests that exceed the projected entitlement continue to be identified as overbooking.
Benefits
Employees can book leave for later in the year without being blocked for entitlement they will have genuinely accrued by then.
Managers and HR administrators see overbooking results that reflect the position on the date requested.
Overbooking checks follow the accrual rules already defined on each Holiday Rule.
Employee Search in Evo Navigator
What was the challenge?
Finding commonly needed employee details meant moving between several SelectHR screens.
What’s changed?
Quick search from Evo Navigator: Authorised HR users can search for employees from Evo Navigator using a quick panel.
Current employee information at a glance: The panel shows current personal and employment information for the employee found.
Link to full search: Where more detail is needed, the panel links through to full SelectHR search.
Permission-controlled access: Access follows the feature permissions configured for your organisation.
Benefits
A faster route to commonly needed employee details.
Fewer screens to navigate for everyday lookups.
Access follows the permissions you already manage.
Contacts Management in Evo Navigator
What was the challenge?
Updating contact details, such as address, phone number, email or relationship information, meant opening the full SelectHR application or using separate Contacts screens in the native mobile app.
What’s changed?
Manage contacts in Evo Navigator: Eligible users can add, update and delete contact records directly from Evo Navigator, without switching to the full SelectHR application.
Clear editing: Changing one part of a contact leaves the rest of the record exactly as it was.
Consistent contact actions across SelectHR: Create, edit and delete contact actions in the remaining SelectHR feature locations now use the same standard workflows, so validation is consistent wherever contacts are changed.
Role-based availability: Access depends on SelectHR role and feature configuration.
Benefits
Update contact details from Evo Navigator without contacting HR or opening the full SelectHR application.
One consistent way to manage personal, address, phone and email details.
Contact records, including emergency contact information, can be kept up to date.
Security Improvements
This release includes proactive security remediation work across the platform.
ID | Title | Resolution | Action Required |
Multiple (16 items) | Security scanning and dependency updates | As part of our ongoing proactive security scanning, we have applied a range of updates to underlying software dependencies across SelectHR Evo to keep the product protected against known vulnerabilities. These are maintenance changes that customers should not notice. | No action required |
2611431 | Sign-in to the wrong account via Evo single sign-on | Corrected Evo single sign-on session handling so that launching SelectHR after switching Evo users signs in to the correct account. This closes a risk that one user could reach another user’s SelectHR session. | No action required |
Bug Fixes
This release includes the following bug fixes and minor improvements to improve system stability, performance and usability.
ID | Title | Resolution | Action Required |
1253008 | Individual calendars causing system-wide timeouts | Fixed an intermittent issue where opening Individual calendars from the HR or Self Service menus could cause system-wide timeouts. Calendars now load consistently. | No action required |
1334938 | Sending workspace invites could cause a ‘Service Unavailable’ message | Improved the performance of the Send Invites page, so users can send workspace invites without the Service Unavailable message appearing. | No action required |
2018388 | SPLIT Days could not be added when paternity is the Shared Parental Leave type | Corrected Shared Parental Leave processing so the SPLIT Days section is available when paternity leave is recorded. The leave pattern can now be recorded correctly. | No action required |
2055524 | Holiday History and absence statistics slow to return results | Improved performance so Holiday History and absence statistics return results more reliably, reducing timeout and service-unavailable errors. | No action required |
2101448 | Error when opening Manage Workspace Invites with advanced authentication | Fixed an error that stopped some customers opening Manage Workspace Invites when advanced authentication features were enabled. | No action required |
2372432 | Male adoption leave start date rejected | Corrected Family Leave validation so male adoption leave can start up to two weeks before the expected placement date, where permitted by legislation. | No action required |
2463016 | Evo language translations not applied consistently | Evo language-pack translations now take precedence over lower-priority configuration for base field labels, so users see the selected translations consistently. Customer-specific configuration continues to apply where appropriate. | No action required |
2527194 | Group calendars timing out with long absences such as maternity leave | Improved Group Calendar handling for long absences, so calendars load without timing out. | No action required |
2605188 | Contact-only records offered when creating an employee | Duplicate-person checks no longer offer contact-only records as selectable employee records, so an existing contact is not converted into an employee in error. | No action required |
2684411 | Self Service contact submissions could leave an incomplete record | Corrected Self Service contact clean-up so a submission that fails validation removes all related temporary records. | No action required |
2713977 | User task lists not loading | Corrected task list and workflow count processing so task lists load normally without slowing navigation. | No action required |
2732063 | Absence entry workflows repeating indefinitely for variable pattern employees | Fixed a problem where absence entry workflows repeated indefinitely when hours were entered for employees on a variable pattern. HR users can now complete absence entry for these employees. | No action required |
