05/15/2026 Release Notes: Link Rates to Cost Centers Timesheet Filtering

These release notes document improvements to the Checkwriters software scheduled for release on 05/15/2026.

For clients utilizing Checkwriters' option to Link Rates to Cost Centers, we have enhanced the Cost Center dropdown menus on the following pages:

  • ESS → My Time → Timesheet Entry

    • This enhancement applies to both “Hours” and “In/Out” Timesheets.

  • Attendance (module) → Approval → Timesheet Mgr Approval

  • Attendance (module) → Approval → Timesheet Adm Approval

The system now verifies the employee's exact rate profile against the entire Cost Center hierarchy. When a selection is made for Cost Center 1, the system filters the Cost Center 2 dropdown options to those associated only with the Cost Center 1 selection. Because the system guides these selections, the timesheet is guaranteed to match an approved pay rate. 

For example:

  • Cost Center 1: When selecting the first Cost Center dropdown (e.g., Location), the list shows only the Locations the employee is assigned.

  • Cost Center 2: When selecting the second Cost Center dropdown (e.g., Department), this list is now filtered to show only the employee’s Departments that exist within the selected Location.

  •  Cost Centers 3, 4, and 5: The filtering continues all the way down the chain.

Note: If you change a selection for one of the Cost Centers, the following Cost Centers will automatically clear out to prevent an invalid combination.
