Trying to generate payroll for Salaried employees that had unresolved attendance was previously blocked. We have now fixed the issue and at the same time maintained this unintended behaviour to help transition some clients that may have been using the Salary pay mode incorrectly for some employees.

Although we were able to recover and replay clockings that were done through TeamClock Android, iOS and Chrome right away, we weren’t able to recover clockings done through

On August 3, 2015 we were alerted that the system was not generating absence attendance records correctly. During our investigation we ended up realizing that this was an un-noticed after effect of the outage from July 31 .

Earlier this month we were alerted to and identified a potential security issue with how we store files that clients upload to the system, as well as files we generate for clients to download. Once this issue was identified we immediately started applying measures across the system to address it.

We fixed a number of bugs that prevented setting unpaid day off working correctly in some cases. This was a somewhat complicated set of fixes so please bear with us as we break it all down.

There was a number of issues in general with setting unpaid days off when
