Members Dropping off MPL following Patch 56

ISSUE: Boards are reporting that some or all Active Members are dropping off various MPL reports for OTIP, CUPE or even EWAO/OCEW following Patch 56. 

ROOT CAUSE: The issue here was with regards to a fix in P56 for Ticket #110095 where a few employees were included in the MPL File who should not have been. 

RELEASED - Sparkrock HRP / Portal Patch Release v5.0 #56 - Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 : edsembli Support

 

FIX: Make the Benefit Plan = OTIP/CUPE/OCEW/EWAO on the Position & Leave Record now mandatory

Now Member Records will only be included if the Benefit Plan is configured properly.

Whereas previously this was always considered ‘best practice’ however missing this field would not cause the Employee to not generate on MPL File.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: This will require a one-time ‘true-up’ of configuration that will require boards to update Benefit Plan under both Position and Leave records for applicable Employee ID’s.

This best practice can then be integrated moving forward to ensure maximum accuracy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Benefit Plan is also now mandatory for Employee Leave Record and would fix the scenario where Employees would be missing on the Leave Record.
