# HR 5.4.6

**Released:** 13/4/2026

## Feature Highlights

### Modern Awards Compliance

**HR-1383 – Modern Awards:** Added Modern Awards compliance checking to Employee Maintenance and Payrun Initialisation.

Users can now select a **Modern Award Classification** for each employee in the General tab of Employee Maintenance.

This **does not overwrite** existing employee pay rates.

Instead, it displays a **green tick** or **red cross** icon on the Pay Run Initialisation screen to indicate whether the currently applied rate is at or above, or below, the applicable Award rate.

See the [Modern Awards](https://help.megabus.com.au/hr/docs/modern-awards) help guide for further information.

### Report Emailing

**HR-1193 – Reports:** Added report emailing.

Reports can now be emailed directly from HR to the Payroll Contact by clicking on the **email icon** at the top of the report window.

When a store needs to send a report to a third party such as an accountant, the report can be sent to the **Payroll Contact** (configured in System > Options > Company Details), who can then forward it with the appropriate context.

See the [Reports](https://help.megabus.com.au/hr/docs/reports) help guide for further information.

Note

HR does not prompt the user to enter an email address, preventing reports from being sent to an incorrect address.

## Enhancements

**HR-1409 – Adjustment Payruns:** Corrected the Period From and Period To dates shown in pay advices and STP submissions for Adjustment Payruns. **HR-1418 – Authentication:** Allowed HR to authenticate support and other users using Microsoft Entra External ID. **HR-1356 – Banking Details:** Updated hint text for the Banking Details field. **HR-1371 – Earnings Types:** Disallowed a loading factor of zero on an Earnings Type that applies the employee's base rate as the pay rate. **HR-1374 – Support:** Changed the label from Log a Support Call to Log a Support Ticket. **HR-1359 – STP Reporting:** Updated the Countries list for STP reporting to the ATO. **HR-1376 – STP Reporting:** Derived the Income Stream Type from the employee rather than each Earnings Type for STP reporting. **HR-1906 – Time and Attendance:** Completed Time and Attendance Interface to Payroll Phase 2.

## Notable Fixes

**HR-1379 – Employee Maintenance:** Corrected saving behaviour for the Change of Selection field in the For Taxation Purposes section. **HR-1384 – Employee Maintenance:** Prevented commas from being included in an email address in Employee Maintenance. **HR-1403 – Super:** Corrected recognition of after-tax deductions to super as super contributions. **HR-1415 – STP Submissions:** Ensured re-generated payrun STP submissions use the same Pay/Update Date as the original STP submission.
