It’s now quick and easy to email contractors PDF formatted pay advices. Two new task options have been added to the Timesheet Tasks command:

  1. Save contractor pay advice files which saves the contractor pay advice files in PDF format in the TimeSheets subfolder in the Exports folder (if your version of Microsoft Word is older than Word 2007 then the pay advice will be saved in Word format).

  2. Email saved contractor pay advice files which emails the saved contractor pay advice files to the contractors using the Contractor Pay Advice message template.
