What's New in HR Management for Spectrum 2021 R5

The HR Management for Spectrum 2021 R5 release includes an enhanced mobile user experience, Form I-9 improvements, and the ability to edit tasks after initializing a new hire to Spectrum.

Mobile Improvements

Significant enhancements were made to the mobile user interface, including improved resizing and rendering of application pages when viewed in a mobile browser and optimized viewing of PDF forms on larger screens.

Form I-9 Enhancements

On the PDF version of Form I-9, the documents that establish identity and employment authorization, as shown in List A on page 3, are now available from the Document Title field on page 2. This form enhancement applies to new hires who are onboarded in the R5 version or later of HR Management. For new hires who completed Form I-9 in a prior version, the previous form options remain.

Edit Tasks After Initializing an Employee

HR managers or hiring managers (Manage New Hires permission) can now edit tasks after a new hire record is initialized to Spectrum. On the New Hire Details page:
  • The new hire's status remains as Initialized even if tasks are edited.
  • The task Status column is updated as necessary to reflect whether modifying tasks renders them incomplete (Status shows an orange check mark) or complete (Status shows a green check mark).
