Employee & Manager Self-Service
Labor fields and labor groups load faster
In this release, we optimized the loading of labor values in the Time Card Calendar View in Classic View to resolve issues some clients have reported with the page locking up with large numbers of labor group items and/or labor fields.
New red dot indicator for unread messages in Adaptive
Now it’s easy to know when you have unread messages or messages that require acknowledgement in AEE! The Personal section of the Home page in Adaptive has been enhanced to display a red dot indicator next to the Messages link to let you have messages that need to be addressed.
Payroll & Tax
New Federal and State Tax Form Updates
With this release, we have updated employee federal and state tax forms used in onboarding and when employees take advantage of the Tax Updates functionality within employee self-service.
Louisiana withholding certificate Form L-4
With this release, the new Louisiana withholding certificate, Form L-4, is now available to employees in Onboarding and the Tax Update Wizard in self-service.
While employees are not required to update their exemptions and dependents shown on the Form L-4 currently on file in isolved, the Louisiana Department of Revenue suggests that employees with additional withholding amounts (Line 8 of Form L-4) should review their Form L-4 to confirm the appropriate amount of Louisiana income tax is withheld.

- Current Amount: Total Amount of the garnishment minus the Past Due amount

Client users who currently receive payroll process notifications will receive a new notification when ten percent or more of the employees being paid in the pay group have updated their direct deposit accounts. This improvement provides additional security to reduce fraudulent direct deposit changes.

Applicant Tracking
Candidate matching AI model update
The Candidate Matching AI model will be updated within the next two weeks. You don’t need to do anything; this update will happen automatically!
You may see a small adjustment to the numerical score of previous applicants on active job listings. This update will apply to all applicants on active job listings and will standardize scoring among all applicants on those job listings, existing and future. You may also see scores for applicants who previously did not have one. Here’s what’s new:
Education data integration – enhanced matching with education profiles
The assessment of “fit” has been revamped based on education to consider the field of study, attained level, and labor market trends much more extensively.
This update enables more accurate matching for roles with specific educational requirements and offers a holistic view of candidates, especially recent graduates, and students with limited work experience.
Improved skill inferences from job titles – dynamic skill extraction
We’ve enhanced the ability to infer key skills directly from job titles. For example, recognizing that a “Java Engineer” is proficient in Java or that a “Deep Learning Scientist” may have experience with TensorFlow.
This update leads to a more precise understanding of candidate and job skill profiles, improving match quality by leveraging crucial details within job titles.
Flexible candidate profiles – support for early-career candidates
Candidates are no longer required to have a work history for the Candidate Matching models to make an assessment. They can have a combination of work experience, skills, and education – or none at all. Candidates without detailed profiles are assumed to have baseline competencies suitable for entry-level positions that typically require limited or no prerequisites.
This enhancement expands support to a broader talent pool, including early-career job seekers and students, allowing you to discover promising candidates who may have been overlooked previously.
