New features 9.2 - Payroll for North America and T&LEmtec Inc.
Many, if not all of us, can relate to the current pains and precautions taken to perform “what-if” scenarios using online check functionality. The new pay check modeling feature delivered in v9.2 empowers employees by granting the ability to simulate changes to their paychecks and make payroll-related decisions quickly, on their own, and without intervention from the payroll department or help desk. Unlike the current process when using online check functionality, pay check modeling will not require updates to production tables. In this presentation, we will review the pay check modeling feature and how it can benefit your employees. Additionally, we will look at Time and Labor enhancements including the timesheet lockdown feature, which empowers administrators to selectively lock and unlock the timesheet during critical periods, such as payroll processing or while loading time from a device onto timesheets thus preventing users from modifying time entries.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
