New Feature: Pro-Rate Custom Items
SimplePay automatically calculates and applies a pro-rate percentage to the Basic Salary of employees if they do not work for a full pay period i.e. the are appointed after the start of a pay period or terminated before the end of a pay period.

We’re happy to announce that this policy is now live!
