Realtime Invoice balance update while making Credit Adjustment
Now, upon adding a value in the “Amount” field, the “Invoice Balance” field updates in real-time. This will help the Agency user to know the updated balance instantly and confirm that the correct function has been applied.
The caregiver will not be able to Clock-In/Clock-Out on an approved shift from the Caregiver portal/Smartphone App
Earlier, the system allowed Caregivers to Clock-In/Clock-Out on Approved shifts. Now, the system will not allow this action from Caregiver Portal/Smartphone app. Caregivers will be given alert on the Caregiver Portal/ Smartphone app in case they try to Clock-In or Clock-Out on the approved schedule.
