1. Added a new Payroll Provider portal. This portal will be used by a payroll provider company to manage the payroll records that are created by the management companies that are assigned to them. In this portal, the payroll provider can do the following:
   1. Add recurring adjustments to the crew payroll
   2. Add taxes to the crew payroll
   3. Add additional fees to be charged to the management companies
   4. Produce the funding request that can be submitted to the management companies
   5. Produce the payment report that can be submitted to the banks to procure the payroll to the crew
   6. Hold the payment for the crew in case of missing bank information
   7. View and approve the crew documents
   8. View the crew’s Hours of Rest records
2. Added the ability to link a crew Employer to a Payroll Provider company. This employer that is linked to the crew record will determine which payroll provider will handle the payroll for this crew.
3. Added the ability to include the payment for the leave adjustment for the crew history in the payroll.
4. Added “Account ID” field in the sub account profile. This field can be used by the payroll provider to identify the sub account when submitting the payment request to the bank.

   1. “Bank Country”, “Bank Name”,  “Bank Account Number”, “Bank Swift Code”, “Currency”, “Beneficiary Name”, “Beneficiary Address 1” fields in the Financial tab are always required
   2. “IBAN Number” field is required if the “Bank Country” is one of the countries that uses IBAN Number as bank identification
   3. If the “Bank Country” is “United States”, the “Bank ACH Routing Number” is required
   4. Some financial institution such as Revolut bank uses IBAN Number even when the “Bank Country” is not one of the IBAN countries. In this case, the crew or the admin can check the “This bank requires IBAN Number” check box and fill in the “IBAN Number” field
6. The Leave Accrued column in the Crew Planner tab in the crew detail view will be displayed in 5 decimal digits if the Leave Unused column is displayed in 5 decimal digits.

10. Important notes for the management companies:
11. The Taxes tab will be removed from the payroll detail view in the management company portal. The taxes are now managed by the payroll provider. If you use the Taxes tab, please export all of the existing payroll records to PDF and store it externally for your reference. The taxes tab will no longer be accessible in this release.
12. If your payroll is managed by the payroll providers, you must modify your currencies to the ISO 4217 three-digit codes. Otherwise, the payroll cannot be processed by the bank. You can manage the list of the currencies using the “Administration > Currencies” menu in the Crew module. Please refer to this page for the list of the three-digit codes for each currency: ISO 4217 - Wikipedia
