    Release Notes:

    Version 1

    Release 01.02
    New Call - PayrollData
    Effective Apr 15 2025

    Added a new call to return data formatted to be usable by payroll companies as an alternative to file uploads or manual entry. Additional info on parameters and returned data are in the primary API document.

    Also enhanced the EmployeeData call to return Payroll_Emptype. Only useful in some cases, contact support with any questions.


    Release 01.00
    API Call Uniformity Update
    Effective Jan 21 2025

    This update includes 2 primary changes, and sets a standard for updates going forward.

    1) Updated all requests that included parameters in the URL line to instead include them in the header for security purposes.

    2) Updated request path to include the API version number.
    - The new request path is: http://www.itcs-webclock.com/rest/WebClock_Data_XXXX/[endpoint] with the X portion being the version number. For example, version 01.00 is WebClock_Data_0100/.

    3) WebClock will keep the past 5 major releases available going forward as releases come out.
    - A major release is identified by the first two numbers in the version. The latter two after the decimal are minor updates and do not count toward the 5 major release availability.

    To allow time for subscribers to make these changes, the original calls prior to these changes will remain available through the next few releases and an announcement will be posted prior to their retirement.
