WPS File: Fill Employees Does Not Populate Employees

Scope

This article applies to FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32 and later.

Problem: When the user clicks Fill Employees while creating a WPS Salary File, no employees are added, and the list remains empty.

Cause

Starting from FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32, the WPS employee selection logic has been updated.

A new employee-level option, Include in WPS Salary File, has been introduced to provide better control over which employees should be included in the WPS file.

Previously, only the Use for WPS option in the payroll accrual type was required. Any employee assigned to an accrual with this option enabled was automatically included in the WPS file.

With the updated functionality, employees must also be explicitly marked by enabling the Include in WPS Salary File option in their employee card.

Resolution

1. Open the Employee card.
2. Make sure the Include in WPS Salary File checkbox is selected.
3. Save the employee card.
4. Return to the WPS Salary File and click Fill Employees again.

Employees with this option enabled will now be included in the WPS file.

Why this change?

This enhancement was introduced in FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32 and later to provide more granular control over WPS file generation. It allows users to explicitly decide which employees should be included, rather than relying solely on payroll accrual settings.
