D365HR Ideas of the month March 2024

I was chatting about fixed compensation with the HR team of a customer and the question was popped - Can D365 prorate the employee fixed compensation based on Position FTE?
I remembered that this was discussed already in the past and there was an idea logged on the Ideas portal that the product team was looking at. Are you curious about all the ideas logged in the world of D365 Human Resources, Have a look at the ideas portal: Ideas portal D365HR
This month's ideas are focussed on Compensation and Course management. Have a read below:
Every product design naturally evolves based on various parameters and there are some gems that fall in place. One of them I think is how fixed compensation is linked to the position of the employee.
On the surface this idea looks like a very simple ask 'can D365 not calculate FTE based employee fixed compensation automatically?' Well I started thinking a little more on this and realized there are 2 effective entities that need to be linked together. The fact is employee's position can go through date effective changes independent of employees fixed compensation and this will need a fundemental design change on adding extra effective dated record on employees fixed compensation every time a employees position FTE is changed.
For new customers starting to use D365 - this will be a blessing. But the product team will need to think of backward compatability and that can be tricky.
This idea is currently under review and I am curious of how this will evolve??

Hmmmm I think outlook integration of leave and course dates to block employee calendars is one that has been requested for as long as I started working in the world of Dynamics 365.
The idea is very simple - when an employee is booked on a course and confirm an integration should trigger a outlook calendar block for the course date time period.
HR teams, Employee's and Managers love this idea but what if the customer uses google calendars instead of outlook?, what if the outlook tenent and D365 tenents are different from each other?, is it worth mentioning that this can already be implemented using a Power Automate flow already? Should we consider having a generic api exposing this data that can be connected to outlook or other calendars as needed by the customer?
Although I like this seamless integration there are additional design considerations on this topic. Are you also in favor of this idea? It needs some more votes to grab the product teams attention - go ahead and add your vote.
That's some of the coolest ideas in the world of Dynamics 365 and Human Resources that got my attention this month. Super thanks to Tom Verhelst Majken Touborg for logging these ideas
See you in the next one!
Cheers,

8 个月It blows my mind that leave integrating with Outlook isn't an out of the box function. Every business I've spoken to wants it. Relying on employees and / or managers to block out their own calendar after they've requested leave isn't a good solution. I've explored a PowerAutomate flow to do it but it's not particularly straight forward, at times I ended up with every employee's leave requests in my own calendar. Then it's further complicated by working patterns, and if the employee has requested a number of hours, or half a day rather than a simple full day.

8 个月I’ll plan to develop a proof of concept where courses assigned to employees will automatically show up in their calendars. This will be the focus of my next blog article.
