Release notes for the June 2025 Access Pay & Bill 2.0 release (2.25.6.0)

Written by Terence Cassidy

New Features

Quality Standard Report

We have introduced the Quality Standard Report, known in PAB core as the Quality Standard Validation Report (QSV), to help you manage Quality Standard Validation results more effectively. This report provides a dedicated location to review errors, warnings, and information messages from Quality Standard checks run in either Pay and Bill 2.0 or Pay and Bill Core.

Menu Quality Standard Report

The Quality Standard Report displays verification results in a clear table format, showing Worker Reference, Worker Name, Error Code, Error Description, and Severity level.

The results are automatically organised to make them easy to review - first by Worker Reference (so all issues for each worker are grouped), then by Error Code within each worker's records. This logical ordering helps you work through issues systematically, either addressing all problems for one worker at a time or focusing on specific types of errors across multiple workers.

Quality Standard Report

To find specific workers, use the basic search function, which searches on Worker Reference, First Name, and Last Name.

Basic Search Function

For more detailed searches, click the filter icon within the search field. The advanced search option also includes National Insurance Number and displays Employee Status and Employment Type information.

Worker Advanced Search

You can filter results by severity type using the dropdown, which offers four options: "All" to show every record, "Error" to display only critical issues that require immediate attention, "Warning" to show potential problems that should be reviewed, and "Information" to view general notices and updates.

This filtering capability helps you prioritise your work by focusing on the most critical issues first.

Filter by Severity

After entering your Worker search criteria or selecting a severity filter, click the search button to apply your filters and update the results.

Search results

When you need to review a worker's details, click on their Worker Reference within the results grid to navigate directly to their worker record in view mode. This makes it easy to make any necessary corrections.

Worker Ref column


The report includes a CSV export function , enabling you to download all results or just your filtered results for further analysis or record-keeping purposes. The export maintains the same ordering as displayed on screen and always provides the most current data.


PAB 2.0 Enhancements and fixes

1616643 Web Client Enquiry: Delay in Department data populating within the field

Data Entry > Imported Data > Imported Client Enquiry

We identified an issue whereby the Department Code and description were not displayed within the field promptly. We have now resolved this issue.

1688240 Invalid Timesheet Enquiry – CSV Download improvements

Payroll > Payroll Exceptions > Invalid Timesheet Enquiry

We have enhanced the CSV download functionality for Invalid Timesheet Enquiry to provide you with more comprehensive data. The downloaded CSV file now includes all timesheet entries and sub-entries, giving you a complete overview of all timesheet errors rather than just the main entries.

The CSV export now contains all the detailed information you need, including Validation Severity and Invalid Timesheet Reason for each error. This enhancement ensures you have access to the complete picture when analysing timesheet issues outside of the system.

Any filters you have applied on the screen will be respected in the CSV download, so you can export exactly the data you need for your analysis.

1697945 User Management: The ‘Add User’ button is not displayed

Admin > User Management

We have resolved an issue where the ‘Add User’ button was not appearing on the User Management screen. The button is now displayed correctly, allowing you to add new users to the system as expected.
